Eighteen times.
According to a bit of MSNBC I caught this morning-
No other subject got as many mentions - not "jobs" ,healthcare, and next to nothing on policy.
He also spouted lies about the Uranium deal during HRC's SoS days, lies about the pace of confirmation for his cabinet picks being the slowest in history, lies about his Electoral college win being the greatest since Reagan, lies about Flynn and talks of lifting sanctions against Russia prior inauguration, lies about his Executive Order travel ban running smoothly, on top of his toddler tantrums with reporters.
I continue to be amazed there are people comfortable with a man so untethered from reality.

All his supporters hear is how well Trump is doing, getting his campaign promises done. They don't see or don't care about the problems it is causing here and abroad.
I know because I have conservative family and friends and I see this stuff posted as "truth" on my Facebook wall. Trump's supporters think that mainstream media outlets are "fake news" like he says. It is difficult to disabuse them of this belief.
The good thing is that they are a minority. We need to focus on the 46% of the country that did not vote and in unifying and mobilizing all Liberals, Progressives, and moderates to create a wave election in 2018 that will set it up so that we can redraw the districts in 2020.

(11,736 posts)What worries me is that when the economy takes a nose dive, we all go along for the ride, not only the fools that got suckered into thinking he would do anything to fix it. Second, their bubble might burst, but they are already gullible and what they would be fed is a scapegoat.
People already actually believe that immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, hurt the economy when all available information points out otherwise. They don't see it, they don't believe it, they don't care. To them, immigrants hurt the country, despite our origins, despite history, despite all study showing that immigrants make society better.
