    Seeing as 96 percent of google search results about Trump come from liberal media outlets

    You may wish to rethink you naive view of this.

    "Very few outside the US think US conservative media outlets are reputable"

    And one significant reason for this is the relentless and universal portrayal of US conservative media outlets as disreputable by the US Leftist media.

    Yup, left wing media constantly smears Trump , then exclaims ," OMG, look at all the bad stories about him" also bumps up G ranking for bad stories, its a self sustaining cycle!

  4. Trump's gift for stating the obvious by mi · · Score: 0, Troll

    Once again, Trump is stating the obvious. He is absolutely correct and his detractors are only mad, because they've long made it a rule, that certain giant pink elephants are not to be talked about.

    Eventually, his truths will set us all free.

    FactCheck is misleading you. Yes, Obama "added 11 million jobs". Obama also caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs (and for many of them, not regain them). The two statements are not incompatible.

    To be precise, what I was referring to was the massive drop in labor force participation rate under Obama. And that's not just due to demographic changes, you also see in in the 25-54 male demographic.

    Well, in this case, Obama's policies are responsible for the job losses and the anemic recovery.

    You seem to have a pretty principled and pragmatic view of the Republican party. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like many current Republican politicians share your views. Or if they do, they are too afraid to express them.

    How do you square your dislike of Trump and the current swathe of ass-backward policies with your support for a party that largely seems to be for them?
