I'm genuinely impressed that Trump, in trying to deny a rumor that he disparages military people, claims it was probably the respected four star general in the Marines and his former chief of staff who started that rumor, then proceeds to disparage him.

  But your not changing anyone’s mind on this.
Exactly.  That's the problem, but you view it as a positive.

I love the whole "Trump disparages Military members" routine. 

The Left subjected Tulsi Gabbard to McCarthyism, branding her as a Russian Agent while she was actively serving.

First of all, I'm not a Democrat. Not even close. Neither is CWS, who has also been attacked for speaking out in this thread.

But you didn't answer my question.

You have me and CWS, who are both closer to right-wing or at least right-adjacent, speaking out why we oppose Trump. Yet you, who don't like him, and don't plan to vote for him, are picking up the standard to defend him. I honestly do not understand why.
My whole life has been I am “that guy“ that stands up to the bully. Although you guys think Trump is the bully I firmly believe the media is the bully and in many cases the Democratic Party is the bully. 

mostly it comes down to narratives versus facts.  I can give you 1 million examples but you have them all, but remember when he tweeted about the race car driver and the noose? I was so critical of him and that was such a moronic, stupid, idiotic thing for him to say.  Even if that was defensible, which it wasn’t, I would not defend him.  But I cannot defend how these big city mayors have condone violence by tacitly encouraging it through press conferences, releasing those who have been arrested, refusing to do what they need to do to protect the businesses and the innocent people who live there, And then I have to come on here and read what CNN says about how that’s his fault which we all know it’s total bullshit.

And then I see made up shit being posted which has multiple sides claiming truth or false, and I am a firm believer that that’s stuff that shouldn’t be posted.

People have their opinions as they should but why are we on here throwing mud as opposed to just discussing policies and issues. You’re the worst offender and Sam is number two. You just can’t let an hour go by without posting some bullshit about how much you hate POTUS.  That’s what is ruining this place

 No political figure in modern history has had as much of the media against him working diligently to undermine him since before he took office and then this poor guy has.

You’re missing my point. I’m not trying to defend Trump.

once again the thread is moving along nicely without politics and Sam throws in a completely unverified bullshit rumor which proves to not be true, while  we have the most high ranking members of the opposition party running around on tape doing things that are horrible and saying things that are fomenting violence, which just happens to be factual —but what he and others are always accusing POTUS of.

I am simply pointing out the glaring hypocrisy.
But it didn't turn out not to be true.  The White House spokesman denied the story.  Given this administration, a denial means very little beyond "that story makes the boss look bad."

So, when Madonna stood there on inauguration day and talked about burning down the White House? Do you think he deserve that?  And Antifa was rioting and breaking windows before he took office- you think he deserved that?

I call BS.  

and if you’re comparing this administration to the media as far as truth telling the media loses big-time.  That’s why 84% of Americans, during the last gallop poll last month, said they do not trust the media.   That’s why 84% of Americans, during the last Gallup poll last month, said they do not trust the media.

The excerpt I pulled from your post was about our inability to change YOUR mind.  You let any and every FACT just bounce off.  
Trump isn't the problem, it's people who think he's the right option over ANY other citizen chosen at random.  This might be eye-opening for you, but a person doesn't have to hate Trump to label his exploits as being inept, incompetent, absurd, racist, selfish, or adolescent.  Those are the obvious ones.  Hell you can like Trump and acknowledge that he might be the most self-serving human on the planet.  

But I'm the problem.

If she was the Democratic candidate I would not only vote for her I would be trying to persuade others to do so. 

Hillary-nostra snuffed her out.

????  I mean I think Trump is in way over his head, but I'm not sure how linking a national story is "posting some bullshit"
