Actually Trump never "called the Press the enemy of the people for talking truth to power", this is just another oft repeated falsehood by Democrats and their propagandists in the media. He said that fake news is the enemy of the people. (Which I suppose in this day in age is kinda the same thing in most cases).

 

 

 

Actually, he did.

 

"The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! They can’t stand the fact that this Administration has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first 2yrs. They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!"

He said that fake news is the enemy of the people. (Which I suppose in this day in age is kinda the same thing in most cases). Furthermore you misrepresented what you posted in the link, which is that the White House did not do press briefings (which are usually done by the WH press secretary, not  the president). Trump regularly engaged with the media outside the White House and where the Democrat media didn't fawn over him and ask him moronic questions about his dogs, his socks, his favourite ice cream flavour or his wife's scrunchie. 

 

Thankfully Biden is now in power for who ? America's enemies ? America's competitors ? The radical Marxists behind the scenes pulling his strings ? Biden is a laughing stock and doing the total opposite of "re-establishing US credibility and democratic principles". Did you get that out of a Xmas cracker ? Ridiculous. 

Wow.  You really need a better source for your news.  As proven above, he did call the press the enemy of the people.  Among other nasty terms.

 

Trump never did press briefings.  But he loved to be on camera.  Typically with the helicopter running in the back.  Few questions.  Just a bunch of lies and hate speech.  Why would anyone fawn over him for this?

 

But you're right.  Thankfully, Biden is in power.  And he's far from a laughing stock.

 

Again, best find a new source for your news.  And best of luck to Biden and his team in dealing with China.  Ain't gonna be no fun.

Stop talking BS. Trump made himself available to reporters and took questions almost every day. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. 

 

Anyone who thinks Biden is doing anywhere near a better job than his predecessor is clearly living in bizarro world. Pity the corrupt media are continuously running interference for him.

You mean like the time he walked out of the interview with Leslie Stall?  Or the many other times he refused questions from MSM reporters?  You really need a better source for your news.

 

Bashing Biden already after only a few months in office.  Wow...

 

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-trump-60-minutes-interview-lesley-stahl/

 

President Donald Trump: Excuse me, Lesley, you started with me. Your first statement was, "Are you ready for tough questions?"

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you?

 

President Donald Trump: That's no way to talk. That's no way to talk.

 

Producer: Lesley, one, one second. 

 

At this point one of our producers interrupted to advise about the time remaining in the interview. 

President Donald Trump: I think we have enough of an interview here, Hope. Okay? That's enough. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go meet for two seconds, okay? Thanks. I'll see you in a little while. Thanks.

Beg to differ. President Trump:-- accurately;-- called only those polemicist, propagandist and activist promulgators of "fake news" and who but pose as "The Press," by their name -- and, as-astutely, stated the obvious: that such propagandists posing as "Press;" are the enemy.

 

One may, that is, have one's own opinion -- but Facts are immutable.

 

As for Biden's condition? Guess, on these boards, we're forced to not believe our lying eyes. Even as the Truth will (continue to) out. And as the end of an era draws near.

 

All Y'All have a great day.

What?  If that's true, why did he give a pass to the biggest purveyors of fake news?  Fox, OAN, Limbaugh, etc, etc, etc. 

 

Biden's not a great speaker.  Never has been.  But speaking isn't the most important part of his job.  Luckily.

Hey - it's already happened!  While the 'West' has been busy with people's democratic rights to protest, carry lethal weapons etc, China has quietly assumed the position of world leader.  China doesn't play by the rules, and that's why they are #1 in the world.  If the US wants to regain that position, it also needs to start fighting dirty.

[Heng]

Yeah, we're not trying to lead ya'll anywhere.  We just want most of the money and power.

"We're not looking for confrontation, although we know there will be steep, steep competition," Biden said. "We'll insist that China play by the international rules - fair competition, fair practices, fair trade."

 

He needs to be much, much stronger than this. This isn't about economic competition. It's about realizing that a shooting war is is just below the horizon. The Chinese are encroaching on the Philippines, on Vietnamese territorial waters, right now. They will attack Taiwan soon. It is going to happen. The worst thing any American administration can do is be ambiguous about what their response will be. It needs to be clear. It's not about competition, it's about preparing for war. Will the US support Taiwan or backdown. The American Suez moment could well be about to happen.

Quote

Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island’s defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait.

It mainly needs to fight smartly, just as China does (Belt and Road comes to mind). That would be a change from the previous POTUS.

Well yes and no. But the USA will soon bring open info to the public about UFO's, and then maybe it is all about who are the friends with the aliens who will win. There is more to it than just China trying to take over the world and the USA may be in a sweet spot when allowed to move more open and freely. Well, could be?

I think Biden is doing alot better than many expected. And he has put together an administration loaded with talent, and experience, in great contrast to the last group of neophytes. And I would also guess many of the people who screamed about the "communists and socialists" on the left, are left surprised at how tough he has been on China so far, without the "bull in a China closet" sledgehammer approach to diplomacy of his predecessor. 

 

Competence, dignity, grace, calm, compassion, graciousness, experience, intelligence and statesmanship are very refreshing things to witness in a world leader.

Very reputable source. Not.

Here's what Politifact has to say about those allegations.

"This claim is False."
