As long as we're on the subject of fake news... Nate Cohn is NYTimes polling expert. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies Is Trump Stronger Than He Seems? Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn JAN. 20, 2017 Some of Mr. Trump’s polling weakness can also be attributed to the difference between adults and likely voters. The adult population is much younger, more diverse and likelier to have been born outside the United States than the voting electorate. Most of the recent polls have measured Mr. Trump’s ratings among all American adults, not registered or likely voters. This can make a sizable difference. Mr. Trump’s favorability rating was seven points higher (his net-favorability rating was nine points higher) among likely voters than adults in New York Times/CBS News surveys last summer that asked all adults whether they had a favorable impression of Mr. Trump. If the gap between adults and likely voters is as large as it was in those surveys, it would bring Mr. Trump’s ratings pretty close to his 46 percent share of the national popular vote. ... It would be easy enough to say that Mr. Trump enters as an unprecedentedly unpopular president. But how many times over the last year and a half were the polls cited as evidence that Mr. Trump was historically unpopular? I don’t mean the horse race numbers, which generally showed Mr. Trump competitive for the nomination and the presidency. I mean the questions about character, which painted a far more pessimistic picture of his chances. One could brush all this aside by attributing his victory to the weakness of his opposition. From this point of view, Mr. Trump is a historically weak political figure who benefited from historically weak opposition. ... The other possibility is that there’s something about Mr. Trump’s appeal that’s not captured in the traditional approval ratings or the character questions. One piece of evidence seems consistent with this possibility: the seeming optimism about his presidency. Take the most recent Quinnipiac poll. At first glance, it’s bleak for Mr. Trump. Just 37 percent of registered voters — a narrower group than the adult population — view him favorably or approve of his performance. But just about every other question is better for Mr. Trump: 45 percent think he’ll take the nation in the right direction, and 52 percent of registered voters are optimistic about the next four years with Mr. Trump as president. Just about every new poll tells a similar story. The most recent CNN poll says that just 40 percent of adults approve of his performance, but 48 percent say they think he’ll do a “very good” or “fairly good” job as president. And 48 percent say his policies will move the country in the right direction. An even larger 61 percent say that he’ll bring back well-paying jobs to economically depressed areas. An ABC/Washington Post poll found that a majority of Americans expect he’ll do a good or excellent job handling the economy, jobs, terrorism, the budget deficit, and in helping the middle class. I don’t have a brilliant explanation for the disconnect between these numbers and his approval ratings. Maybe his postelection honeymoon has made people more optimistic about the next four years, but it hasn’t led people to reassess their deeply held views of his character and ability. (But all you hear about is his approval numbers, not a peep, except by Cohn, about the optimism)
The amount of fake news and it's complete lack of objectivity or research at all is beginning to boggle the mind.
Doubt it. http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-...ts/2016/04/trump-transgender-bathrooms-222257 Trump: Transgender people can use whatever bathroom they want Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want, Donald Trump said Thursday. "Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they're paying a big price. There's a lot of problems," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC's "Today." Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now," Trump said he agreed. "Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth. "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate," Trump said. "There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic -- I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking." Matt Lauer then asked whether Trump has any transgender people working for his company. "I really don't know. I probably do. I really don't know," Trump said, answering that he would allow, say, transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner to use whatever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower. He added, "You know, there's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is for transgender, that would be—first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. That would be unbelievably expensive for businesses in the country. Leave it the way it is."
We've got one piece of equipment in bathrooms that makes it easy to know who should go in which one. If you can use the urinal you can come in the mens. If you look like you can't use a urinal you can take your pick. It is pretty simple. Regular looking guys can stick with the mens. We've been fine with that forever, now they wanna fuck with stuff which will ultimately make me have to wait longer to use the bathroom at a sporting event or something similar
You have not been deleted. You have for the first time in your life been extended full membership and full recognition as an EQUAL CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Never again will your rights be mocked and/or marginalized and never again will OUR PRESIDENT hold you to the side as if you were some freak of nature needing big brother to tell you how to cope with "life". You make us all stronger as a nation. WELCOME BACK!
Hillary is still 100% anti-gay, except in NYC where she will soon be needing votes for her last-ditch attempt at remaining relevant.
I know Obama's WH site used drupal as their CMS, which I just checked and that's still the case for Trump's WH site, currently. It isn't hard to unpublished everything and just redirect it in a reasonable way. Unprofessional, unpresidential or just lazy, you be the judge.
Exactly. It wasn't unprofessional, though. As a standard way of handing off the White House, the CMS is cleared and the old content moved to an archive site.
