Well I think any POTUS before FDR probably wasn't compared to Hitler. Maybe Cromwell or Napoleon or some such.

The 1% of them Trump likes anyway.

CPAC attendees seen waving Russian flags.
When the fact of the matter was that democrat infiltrators were the ones waving the flags.

Liberals should learn to live with the fact that Trump is the President of The United States and that things are going to be different than the "administration" before his.. They'll sleep better when they do.

We are returning full circle to the era of President John Adams and the disgraceful Sedition Act of 1798 (Benjamin Franklin's grandson died of yellow fever caught in prison awaiting trial for allegedly breaking the law by writing a news article which criticised John Adams). The Alien and Sedition Acts purported only to criminalise "false statements" critical of the government; but who was to be the arbiter of what was true or false? President Thomas Jefferson pardoned everyone whom Adams had caused to be imprisoned as soon as Mr Jefferson took office in 1800, but could not bring Franklin's grandson back from the dead.

The First Amendment addresses the issue. The US Supreme Court did not yet have the power to overturn Federal laws which were unconstitutional (Marbury v. Madison 1803 came afterwards) but in numerous judicial opinions since has indicated that the 1798 Sedition Act was unconstitutional. It doesn't seem like a difficult opinion, though nothing is genuinely simple in the world of law and lawyers.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Mr Trump is abridging the freedom of speech and of the press.

My official spokesman has been delegated to address you on this point.

About time we have a president that recognizes that the people who matter most should be US citizens.

Let me know when you get one, Savage. This fellow ain't it.

You want to pollute the environment for your future generations, then vote for Mr Trump.

You want to prevent the reporting of factually accurate news: vote for Mr Trump.

You don't like freedom of speech: vote for Mr Trump.

You like arbitary government by decree without debate or legislation: vote for Mr Trump. In 1649, we British beheaded our king for governing exactly the same way Mr Trump is trying to govern. Charles I governed without Parliament and Mr Trump governs without Congress. Luckily you can vote him out when it gets to be too much so you wont need to kill him the way we needed to kill Charles I. Worst way, you can always deport him to Mexico (poor old Mexico).

I can't wait to see what happens when he tries to default on US treasury bonds the way he said he would when he was campaigning.

Why doesn't he get rid of press conferences/briefings altogether?

Just more rallies with flag waving morons where he spout more bullshit about non-existent terrorist attacks and no-one will ask any awkward questions, just idiots cheering. Science and knowledge dismissed as liberal elitism.

More like a religious cult than a Presidential administration.

The more Trump continues with his sad antics, the more I think of this quote by Woody Allen when he was on on the Dick Cavett show:

My only New Year's resolution in this year, I think I'm going to try to sleep through the Nixon Administration.

I will say he attacks the easy targets. (politicans, media)So regardless of how crazy he gonna sound there is a portion of the American population whom his message is going to resonate with.

After staying in the low to mid-50s through the late 1990s and into the early years of the new century, Americans' trust in the media has fallen slowly and steadily. It has consistently been below a majority level since 2007.

President Donald Trump should be given a chance to prove himself, says Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.

He went on to express his support for Mr Trump's America-first policy, saying "America for Americans" and "Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans".

Robert Mugabe is currently the world's oldest leader, who turned 93 this week, and he has maintained a tight grip on power in Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980.
In 2001, Robert Mugabe kicked the BBC out of Zimbabwe for "reporting lies about land seizures."

Trump order drops protection for families of deployed military

Imagine you are a member of the United States military deployed on the front lines confronting ISIS or other terrorist threats. Suddenly you get a desperate phone call from home — Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested your family and they’re facing deportation.Think it can’t happen? Think again. Think Trump.
The Trump administration’s draconian and hastily drafted immigration orders rescind a key protection for military families so that now even military spouses and children can be rounded up and deported. This will weaken our armed forces. It will harm thousands of military families. And it’s wrong.

When you deploy to war, your greatest worry is not yourself. You worry about your family left behind. The least we can promise those willing to give their life for our country is that their immediate family members can remain in that same country. By all accounts, the policy has worked well.
Yet the Trump administration’s new immigration enforcement policy eviscerated “Parole in Place” protections. It does not continue a policy that reflects a promise made to recruits who joined the United States military in the last four years.
The new enforcement directive could have easily maintained the protections of this unique program, as it did a few others. It could have made clear that agents of the U.S. government will not round up and deport the spouses and children of our active duty service members.
