I guess the ratings weren't good enough for a second season.

It was a joke...about Trump...and his love of ratings...and his "fake news"...and....

I guess you just believe him.  Never mind.

To be fair, I didn't get this thread's meaning either.

What Dino is trying to say is, “Build the wall!”

Every item on that list is a perfect portrayal of exactly why the Pres. calls them "fake news".    

The one omission that should have been near the top of the list?  The Time Magazine cover that portrayed Trump standing over the kid that was allegedly separated from it's mother.  

Back when I studied journalism, the ultimate betrayal of the public was to publish or air something that was known to not be accurate.  Seems like the standard for most news organizations, these days.  So glad that I rejected working for corporate media, and took a much less glamorous career path.

See Trump was so fond of making fun of "fake news" he announced his own awards!  A year later he doesn't have the awards anymore. 

No one remembers his award show?!?!

I suppose we could have another thread about him lying or about what he REALLY meant when he said Mexico would pay for the wall.

Back to your regularly scheduled arguing.

Don't agree with that, but I want to ask something else.

What is the standard for the president of the US, the guy in charge of our national and economic security?
