    As propaganda, Six's list gets a C-, at best. For one thing, it's too obvious. It starts off with an obvious whopper: Draining the swamp. Not only didn't he drain it, he stocked it with alligators, including his nepotistic self and family members.
    Trump Has Filled, Not Drained, the Swamp
    Trump promised to "drain the swamp" of special interests. It's actually growing—fast
    A year ago, Trump made the campaign promise that got him elected. He has struggled to keep it
    Is Donald Trump Draining the Swamp?
    The rest is a collage of falsehoods, half-truths, ambiguities and debateables, strung together to create the illusion that length matters:
    --didn't build the wall yet, mainly replaced existing wall, out of money illegally taken from funds appropriated for other things;
    --Fights Swamp (RINO) Republicans? What does that even mean? RINO is a pejorative for Republican In Name Only, a label which best fit Trump himself until he made the Republican Party a cult of personality and vilified the few traditional Republicans with the guts to oppose him.;so Trump is fighting traditional Republicans who are Never Trumpers;
    --- Humiliated the fake news media. Only in the minds of MAGA Believers. I'd say, vice versa;
    --- Killed 2 main ISIS leaders, with the help of our loyal Kurdish allies he subsequently sold out;
    --- Supports Hong Kong protesters (feebly and ambiguosly); he signed bipartisan legislation out of political expediency, but hedged: "I signed these bills out of respect for President Xi, China, and the people of Hong Kong. They are being enacted in the hope that Leaders and Representatives of China and Hong Kong will be able to amicably settle their differences leading to long term peace and prosperity for all.".
    --Lower annual inflation? Slightly. Inflation rose from 2.1% when Trump took office to 2.4% last year and is now down to 2.05%. Whoop de do!
    --Succeeded against Fed. Reserve, and kept rates low? He railed against the Fed in trying to lower interest rates beyond what they currently are. The Fed happened to lower them. It is debatable that that was a good thing, or that Trump had anything to do with it. Trying to politicize the Fed isn't a good thing.
    --Much of the rest takes credit for economic achievements that may partly be the result of Obama's legacy and factors outside the President's control, or deregulation at the expense of the environment, or borrowed money at the expense of the national debt.
    Trump Says U.S. Economy Is the ‘Greatest’ Ever. It's Not.

    I'm not adept at photo doctoring, but if you just mentally put a MAGA cap on that white figure and substitute for the gray News Sources listed, the following: Fox, InfoWars, Breitbart, the Drudge Report, Right Wing News, Daily Stormer, 4-chan, 8chan--and the slogan "Orange Man Good" you'll get a more accurate picture.

    Not mine... some guy in a news comment section. Goes along with 6-eyes list though.

    Truths about Trump:
    The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
    The “genius” who hides his college grades.
    The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
    The “playboy” who pays for sex.
    The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
    The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity; like the Veterans
    The “patriot” who dodged the draft”
    The “innocent man” who refuses to testify

    Trump Translator:
    "Many People have told me" = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me.
    "A lot of people don't know" = I just learned something most people already knew.
    "Believe me" = I just lied.
    "In Fact" = I'm about to lie.
    "He's a great guy" = I will deny ever knowing this person after they begin to tell the truth about me.
    "MAGA" = Making my pockets fatter off the American tax payers.
    "Nobody knew" = Everyone knew except me.
    "Huge" = moderate to below average in size.
    "Loser" = someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments.
    "Policy Briefing" = Turning on Fox News.
    "Liar" = Someone telling the truth about me

    Obviously mentally ill and a true danger to democracy. Oh yeah--and a lying, crooked fuckin' asshole . Hope I live long enough to see him and his crime family behind bars, and the complicit republican party shrunken into non existence. Concerning the next election,we're about to discover just how many of our fellow americans would benefit from some serious mental help.

    People think this is incest no it's narcissism. Its HIS girl that men want so really he is getting praise. She is a tool for his power. To answer your question hes white and he said its ok to be white and have money. Obama was a Muslim of course and probably socialist:expressionless:

    This is a huge dog whistle to any white poor to middle class person who "cant be racist since they don't even see color". Really? So much of your platform is how white people are picked on so it's racial. Just more projection. Anything a Republican says you do they do. Thus why they keep up this silly shit saying the KKK was founded by Democrats. It's all they can do it ignore modern race relations and voting patterns. Like if they are so racist why do most blacks and Latinos vote how they do?

    A Trump impeachment acquittal in the Senate will likely further embolden him to disregard the law.

    Trump is claiming that the whistleblower committed perjury and that Adam Schiff is abetting him by covering up evidence of his perjury.



    A Gangster in the White House
    The president tweeted the name of the presumed whistle-blower in the Ukraine scandal—demonstrating that he is unrepentant and determined to break the law again.
    David Frum
    Staff writer at The Atlantic
    Dcember 28, 11:36 AM ET

    A Gangster in the White House

    excerpt:

    "In the meantime, though, the country is left once again with the problem of a president who refuses to obey the law. Trump is organizing from the White House a conspiracy to revenge himself on the person who first alerted the country that Trump was extorting Ukraine to help his reelection: more lawbreaking to punish the revelation of past lawbreaking. Impeaching a president whose party holds a majority in the Senate obviously presents many grave practical difficulties. But Trump’s post-Christmas mania confirms House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s prediction that Trump would impeach himself.

    Donald Trump will not be bound by any rule, even after he has been caught. He is unrepentant and determined to break the rules again—in part by punishing those who try to enforce them. He is a president with the mind of a gangster, and as long as he is in office, he will head a gangster White House."

    Some evangelical figureheads don't have any issues with such immoral behavior.

    TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart in the peak of the TV evangelist craze of the 1980's got caught with a woman at a motel. He later went on his TV show and did a lengthy crying act with tears rolling down his face and blurting out 'I have sinned!' After that performance, he got caught again with another woman.

    In his notable Carnac comedy act where he mystically ascertains the question to an answer that's in a sealed envelope, Johnny Carson stated:

    answer: "Motel 6"

    question: "Where do the TV evangelists go after Motel 5?"

    Trump attacks whistleblower in now-removed tweetstorm full of rants and conspiracies
    CNN Digital Expansion 2018, BRIAN STELTER

    President Donald Trump attacks whistleblower in now-removed tweetstorm full of rants and conspiracies - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "CNN)President Donald Trump retweeted an attack that included an unsubstantiated name of the intelligence community whistleblower at the heart of the Ukraine scandal as part of a series of rants and conspiratorial posts overnight.

    Trump or someone with access to his Twitter account removed the retweet Saturday morning.

    Other retweets were also reversed, including pro-Trump and anti-Democrat memes from suspicious-looking Twitter accounts. But his whistleblower-related post was the most noteworthy because nearly every public official involved in the impeachment inquiry agreed that the identity of the original complainant should be protected."
