President Donald Trump again criticized the news media, but this time in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum.
“It wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be,” Trump said.
He joked that the cameras were “going off in the back” after his comment as some in the press booed his comment.
Trump appeared puzzled by the fact that he got great press from the media when he was a celebrity businessman but that reporters turned on him when he ran for president.
“Somebody said, ‘They couldn’t have been that bad because here we are; we’re president,’” Trump added, praising his team for doing a great job for the country.
“Everybody representing a company or a country has to be a cheerleader, or no matter what you do, it’s just not going to work,” he said.

Haha, yup. And he said he's "often" the least racist, which I guess means not always.

Comcast announced 100,000 bonuses of $1,000, while around 500 managers, supervisors, and salespeople were fired. AT&T announced 200,000 bonuses of $1,000, while laying off thousands. Walmart announced minimum hourly wage raises to $11, and offering $1,000 bonuses; on the same day it announced the lay off of "thousands of workers."
Trumpito's America.
Trump is making America strong again! The only problem is that the what is the most strong is the odor of corruption.

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
She can’t stand him it’s so obvious she knows he’s been banging other women all along , she will just keep on swallowing...
For sure. I don't know if she's actually trying to hide how she feels about him and her new role and is the worst faker on the face of the planet, or if she just has so much contempt for him that she isn't even trying to hide it.... Either way, I have never seen a person so blatantly show her disdain for her spouse in public. I mean, it's not guess work with her. Her face is like a published self-authored essay about how miserable she is in her marriage and how much disdain she feels towards her husband and towards her role as First Lady. It's kind of crazy.

I don't feel sorry for Melania one iota. She decided she had a price and got paid it. she is now reaping the "rewards".
I am sort of in between, but lean more toward Hugh's take here. I feel bad for her, but she made hundreds and thousands of choices that lead her to this place, and she has to live the consequences of those choices. She's a strikingly beautiful woman, if she wants to use that genetic benefit to make her life stable and comfortable, I don't have a problem with that. The thing is, she's so beautiful she could have won the heart of a comfortably wealthy man much closer to her age. She could practically have her pick of middle aged millionaires across the world, but she chose the old billionaire. I can only assume one of two things... She has serious mental and emotional issues and she actually fell in love with him, or she has an insatiable appetite for wealth, power, status, all that.

I don't either. She could leave him if she wasn't such a money grubber. I really don't understand how anyone could feel sorry for her. The one I really feel sorry for is their son. My god, I have never seen a more depressed looking kid in my life.

I don't see how I could feel sorry for her unless he really was some kind of sweet, charming, faithful and devoted husband in 2005. What do you suppose the odds are of that?
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
The most recent three articles are “The great s-hole hypocrisy”, “Under the new Trump standard, why wasn’t Obama impeached” (an article containing a fallacy in its own name, as a new standard couldn’t apply to someone who predates it), and “where’s Hollywood’s apology for donating to the Clintons”.
If you’d like to spend your life doing nothing about today’s realities because you’re busy being angry about yesterday’s, that’s your prerogative. I feel it’s more productive to hold people who owe apologies and/or have questionable believability under a higher level of scrutiny when they are in situations where integrity are needed, and hold them accountable then.

In an interview with Piers Morgan set to air Sunday night in the U.K., President Donald Trump used the word “terrible” to describe the initial decision last year by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to overturn an Obama era ban on the import of elephant trophies.
Trump also says he does not believe the substantial fees that hunters pay to hunt elephants and other species actually go toward conservation efforts, as is often claimed, and instead are pocketed by government officials in other countries.
Trump confirms that the ban on importing elephant trophies from the African nations of Zimbabwe and Zambia will remain in place. That was not clear after he initially put the ban reversal on hold, pending further study.
The Fish and Wildlife Service, overseen by Interior Department Secretary Ryan Zinke, announced on Nov. 15 that it was rescinding an Obama administration ban on the import of elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia, saying money generated by the hunting goes toward conservation efforts.
“Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation,” the service said.
But the announcement on reversing the ban was met with scathing criticism from both the left and right. Powerful conservative media figures like Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham criticized Trump for the decision and called on him to keep the ban in place. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres announced a campaign to persuade Trump to maintain the ban that quickly went viral through the hashtag #BeKindToElephants.
On Nov. 17 Trump tweeted, “Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts. Under study for years. Will update soon with Secretary Zinke. Thank you!”
The announcement that he was putting the reversal on hold shocked many, primarily because his two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are both avid hunters and have been criticized for hunting wildlife in Africa.
Trump also is closely aligned with the National Rifle Association, which strongly lobbies for trophy hunting rights. Two days after he made that announcement, he tweeted, “Big-game trophy decision will be announced next week but will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal.”
That tweet led some to believe the ban would remain in place but no further announcement was made as promised.
In his comments to Morgan, Trump said, “Well, I changed it,” referring to reversing the move to end the ban.
He continued: “I didn’t want elephants killed and stuffed and have the tusks brought back into this [country] and people can talk all they want about preservation and all of the things that they’re saying where money goes towards ― well, money WAS going ― in that case, going to a government which was probably taking the money, OK? I turned that order around. You know, that was an order. I totally turned it around. Were you shocked that I did it?”
Morgan: “I was surprised.”
Trump: “I thought it was terrible. That was done by a very high level government person. As soon as I heard about it, I turned it around. That same day ― not even a day went by. No, I was not believing in [the conservation argument].”
The interview with Morgan is Trump’s first major sit-down interview with a non-U.S. television network and airs at 10 p.m. Sunday on ITV.
Also, just gotta say that the phrase " That was not clear after he initially put the ban reversal on hold" makes my head hurt.

I know, I know. But the criticism always is that those of us on the left wouldn’t never recognize if Trump did something right. Well, here it is. Recognition granted.

You can tell which issues his daughter has more influence on, is my guess.

True.. it's almost like you expect him to do the opposite of the moral thing and then wham!...he doesn't.
