    I think the news coverage drives the approval ratings. No, I don't "think" it, I'm sure of it.

    No.

    It's not clear what he meant, and surely it's not the media's job to divine what he meant. If they want to ask him what he meant, that's perfectly good.

    I don't need no fox news looking blondes telling dog whistling to me even if she does "report" for the Huffpo dipshits?

    No, Trump meant he wished they had all died so our budget would be ok. Clearly

    @HCP, if I were to divine what Trump meant when talking about the budget...

    He's got a new budget to get passed and a tax plan. The hits to spending for disaster relief are putting a crimp on what he wants to do. But he's all for spending the relief money anyway.

    Plus it's a little dig at the government there who are managing their government in massive debt.

    Well when both sides don't like you...

    Yeah Republicans in Power don't like Drumpf. He barely has any relationship with Ryan and McConnell.

    You just need to come to grips with the fact that he sucks as a person and as a president. The sooner the better.

    The oddest thing is that Chris Cuomo of CNN is on the ground in Nevada, but he's raving about Trump's performance on the ground in Puerto Rico, at the impressive amount of relief/aid/support that's already there, etc.

    I don't expect them to run reruns of that clip all day.

    I have come to grips.

    He won, winners get to govern.

    That's the grand American Experiment in action.

    It's not a good joke so yeah. He's an asshat for joking about people's plight. He's never had to deal with anything like that so he shouldn't say stupid shit like that.

    For no crime?

    It's 10 months in and he's still governing.

    Get used to it. We had to put up with Obama's malfeasance, too.

    In both cases, the republic survives.

    There's lots of it. You're proving my point for me, that the media doesn't cover it.

    The most recent one was $8B in relief for hurricane victims.

    But you know, he's not signed any legislation. At all.

    Everyone does realize that both things can be true simultaneously, right? The media are by and large liberal in viewpoint and slant stories in an anti-conservative manner because of this world view. Meanwhile, Trump does one stupid thing after another and is totally deserving of negative press.

    What, unconstitutional shit? I thought CNN was fake news?

    March 31, 2017: H.J.Res.42 - "Joint Resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to drug testing of unemployment compensation applicants"
    This resolution repeals an Obama-era Labor Department rule that limited states' ability to drug-test those seeking unemployment benefits.

    So you admit he "got legislation passed."

    Good for you.

    The question of constitutionality is a red herring.

    But since you brought it up... There's a legitimate argument that if people are getting government handouts, that the government should ensure that the people are healthy or get treatment and can get a job and off the dole.
