Media Says Trump's Lying About Sweden, Then Sweden Erupts Into Riots and Flames
I have no idea why the public trusts Trump more than the media.

No, he isn't. He says "look what happened in Sweden last night" when he means "I saw something about Sweden on Fox last night".
He is given to imprecision. He counts on "us" to understand what he meant. He gives "them" all the fodder they need to declare him an ignoramus.
So we backfill and say "that's not really what he meant, he meant this other thing that we agree with". And we (including me) agree with a lot of what he's trying to do.
If he's so smart and so awesome that he merits a Chuck Norris/Fred Thompson thread, why can't he be bothered to learn to articulate unambiguous thoughts?
I know he's never had to, but I think now he has to.

He has an extemporaneous style and regularly includes some exaggerations, occasionally errors, or mischaracterizations - though I have yet to see a major factoid or issue actually misrepresented (leaving aside policy disputes where we're talking about analytical opinions, not facts).
That's it. So the press "fact checks" in a stupid and disingenuous fashion, and hilarity ensues.

1) That's a YUUUUGE understatement.
2) I think he has to and I think he won't, because he doesn't think he has to because it keeps working out in a *publicity* sense, and he's a publicist.
We honestly aren't far enough into all this to talk about results, despite *everyone* wanting to talk about results now.
I don't expect him to morph into speaking like William F. Buckley (though that would rate about a 9 on the hilarity scale), but complete thoughts, sentences and paragraphs would be nice. I don't expect it, though.

I really don't think there will be some fascist movement that rounds them up, most of these places will simply fall to Muslims while the "natives" watch their wives and daughters getting gang raped but being too scared they will be called a racist to do anything about it.
They really have gone full Stockholm over there if the only time it gets mentioned is when Trump makes a "gaffe" about it.

look what is HAPPENING in Nice
look what is HAPPENING in Sweden ... (you saw on Tucker) last night, they let all these people in and now chaos
look what is HAPPENING in all over the world"
Trump did not say "look what happenED last night" as one would for a single news event
not only did Trump get the MSM to finally cover the Muslim invasion of Europe news, he also promoted Tucker's show. Genius. WINNING
Posted by: illiniwek at February 21, 2017 06:08 PM (YMJtx)
Trump could be as articulate and substantive as a Newt Gingrich on some important issue, but that wouldn't change a thing. Including with the press "coverage".
All that matters is the results, the policies.
Citing this Swedish thing as an example of how Trump *needs* to be more precise and polished in his remarks would comical. He referred to a subject - one that is well known to anyone following the European immigration disaster, and generally known and instinctively (correctly) understood by large majorities - in a way that made his point, and broadened awareness of the problem, thanks in part to the media's behavior.
The sloppiness or imprecision made no difference.

Instead, when you look up Rotherham on a different search engine (I myself prefer DuckDuckGo), take note of how the Rotherham defendants, upon their sentencing in criminal court, expressed not a word of contrition or remorse or repentance for their crimes against underaged girls, but instead bellowed "Allah Akhbar!" in unison.

I'm thinking that deals like this are inventory reduction. They built up expecting Hillary to win and now they need to reduce carrying costs. I don't expect them to stay under $400 for very long, though it might not be the bottom yet for the cheaper lines like Delton and Bear Creek.

He says of Trump "So far as I can tell, he is simply using effective discourse mechanisms to communicate what his wants to communicate to his audience."
That is how I see Trump ... not boring, skips around and engages people instead of sounding scripted and boring. Those that must always scold Trump for being so pedestrian would perhaps seem to be missing something ... missing a lot. His free-wheeling style leaves out some details at times, but those gaps leave questions that are probed and answered, or sometimes it is just flowery language. Relax ... he's on a roll.

I can perhaps explain this.
Trump is a storyteller. He tells stories, anecdotes and does always provide succinct sound bites. That's his natural speaking style. He can't help it, and, to be honest, might not even be aware that *some* people have a problem with that. I know all of this because I do the same thing.
That being said, the MSM is lazy. They want quick sound bites, and they don't want to listen. They're on Tinder at press conferences, planning their next hook up.
If you listen to Trump, you'll understand what he says.
It's when the MSM tries to interpret what he says that they get in trouble.
As for Trump changing his style... I don't think it's necessary. The public understood his message and he got elected. Let the MSM learn to listen and do their job.

Trump isn't looking twenty moves ahead. He's very good at reading the mood of the crowd, and his opponents, and has the instincts to work with that. He's like a swordsman who goes for the bind, once his opponent has committed to an action he starts playing from there.
Sure, nothing happened "yesterday" in Sweden, but he's instinctively put Sweden in people's minds. He's also caused his opponents to commit themselves to the idea that everything is perfectly fine and there are absolutely no problems in Sweden. They now look silly and he comes out ahead.

About a hour ago FBN had on a Swedish journalist via satellite. She said there was a government official who is getting ready to retire (or had retired) and there were stacks and stacks of files on his desk of immigrant crimes. He was keeping them there to hide the crimes.

That Trump is an Antisemite... not questioning if he is, but stating it as fact...
Its coordinated by the ADL, I think Trump's friendship with Netanyahu etc is hurting the Democratic Party among Jews so they are fighting hard to portray him as a monster.

I... might do the above once and a while. I'm not really sure. Sometimes I talk a bit too fast and words/though gush out.
Here's the thing: we have been listening to the stuttering clusterfuck for eight years. He could not form a complete sentence without a teleprompter and then he stuttered.
Compared to him, I suppose that Trump could be difficult to follow at times for some. I don't have a problem with him, but I also speak in complex verbal patterns.
However, he is great with crowds. Maybe, just maybe, this is a 70 year old man who is trying to find his way in this new job and there is a learning curve.
That all being said, my non-Trump godfather watched the press conference and came out of it with a more positive opinion of Trump. Said he handled the press very well and had a good sense of humor.

friendship with Netanyahu etc is hurting the Democratic Party among Jews
so they are fighting hard to portray him as a monster.
Their proof?
He "refuses" to make a statement condemning the rise of antisemitism that the Democrats are part of and assisting in.

I agree, it is refreshing to have a guy actually answer questions. He does duck some -- just starts off on his own schtick and ignores them -- but most of the time its a straight up "here's the answer" without a 10 minute lecture.

How do you even answer a question like that?

"Intuitives, on the other hand, barely notice details because their minds are busy looking for patterns, considering possibilities and interpreting what the information they are sensing means. Intuitives often focus on the long term, and like using strategy to pursue goals. For them, information has little meaning until it can be placed into a larger framework.
Intuitives have been characterized as relying on their unconscious perceptions. An intuitive may be able to tell you that the man next door is not trustworthy, but be unable to tell you exactly how they know this. "
Does this sound like Trump?

The professional Republican politicians that spend hours agonizing over every word in order not to deliver a soundbite that can be used against them fail. They are playing the left's game, and are censoring themselves in response to the faux outrage machine.
Trump won't play their game, and delivers direct, nearly unfiltered comments. The media howls in outrage, BUT, they then quote, verbatim what Trump said in order to roll their eyes at how unsophisticated he is.
But note, they are delivering Trump's message with minimal editing, because they think it is laughable.
The rest of the country hears what Trump said, and understand what he meant. The country didn't elect a politician. We don't expect a politician.

What Obama was doing was filibustering.
He had to hold occasional pressers, for the sake of appearances, but didn't want to actually have to answer a bunch of questions, so he would take just a handful of them from friendly journalistas, and then rhetorically meander off during each one.
Presto! 45-minute "press conference", five softball questions given vague gassy nonresponsive "answers", then, hey folks, the President's a busy man, he's got places to be and things to do, see you next time, kthxbye.

"Why Sweden is NOT the 'rape capitol of the world'"

Excerpt:
"...
Sweden has 63.5 reported rape incidents per 100,000 citizens, compared
to 27.3 per 100,000 in the US, or 27.9 per 100,000 in Belgium, the
nearest European country based on those numbers."

He says of Trump "So far as I can tell, he is simply using effective discourse mechanisms to communicate what his wants to communicate to his audience."
That is how I see Trump ... not boring, skips around and engages people instead of sounding scripted and boring. Those that must always scold Trump for being so pedestrian would perhaps seem to be missing something ... missing a lot. His free-wheeling style leaves out some details at times, but those gaps leave questions that are probed and answered, or sometimes it is just flowery language. Relax ... he's on a roll.

Along these lines, I always wondered if people in the press would connect a couple of dots about the Hillary campaign. Such as, she demanded and got huge speaking fees for her speeches, yet when she spoke for free on the campaign trail, had trouble filling her venues.
Posted by: Chilling the most at February 21, 2017 06:56 PM (Cl52v)
I'm elated by: Not having Hillary in the Oval Office. Watching Trump's appointments. Watching the Left continue to lose its collective hive mind. Watching the media lose its collective hive mind. Watching the list of things Trump is doing, day after day.
I was on board before the election, but he's exceeded my expectations so far.

Yup. Total implication of of ABC News, delivered in its typical run on, style (I hate news reports like that...)
Two things it made me think.
Wait! Ivanka is a Jewish convert, and her husband and kids are Jewish. How can you dare imply this ABC?
Second. Since when do we need the President to comment on every little thing? Isn't the FBI looking into this? Maybe the President needs not say anything?
Cause, isn't this still a local event?
Oh and isn't President Trump like really close friends with the Israeli PM?
But, its all in service to the arch-Narrative.

NPR or BBC radio had a segment a few weeks ago with an interview of a Farsi translator in England for BBC. He not only has to figure out what Trump actually means with his bizarre use of words but then provide a meaningful translation all within seconds. He seemed to approach it as a bigly professional challenge.
