Trump needs these voters..... With very wide boundaries. Perhaps if he went after Alex Jones, Breitbart, or Hannity, he might lose some followers.

He takes responsibility for everything he does...whether it's signing an executive order, talking to Congressmen or foreign leaders, or even trolling and tweaking the Mainstream Media.
Your turn...
Wanna start with the highly-unusual turnover rate of his appointees? Normally folks start leaving after one year mark and the higher positions change out after 3-4 years in a two term administration.

I think you asked me that question before and my response was "are you going to say any mistake I bring up is fake news?'' I stand by that response.
Do you think Trump is perfect? I know you are say no and you are going to jump down my throat about any example you don't like being "fake news", so let me ask you a real question, do you think he has made any mistakes? Also please give me a real answer, not some hyper partisan "he trusted the establishment Republicans too much" or "he didn't get rid of Obama's civil servants fast enough", can you think of a real human mistake he has made and did he take responsibility for it?
True he likes to have his picture taken holding up the executive orders, except of course when he forgets to sign them.. But that aside he has had a few unfortunate encounters with foreign leaders...Australia, Canada, England, London, Germany, the Vatican, just to name a few. (Not to mention his devotion to Putin) Of course there are the Senators that he chooses to belittle publicly, his prior competitors that he can not be graceful toward, his predecessors who he insults whenever he feels the need, the many people who have resigned from positions in his administration, and government employees who have resigned rather than work with him. The treaties he has negated without the least understanding of how that puts our country in a disadvantaged position. Elevating family members to "presidential advisors" as if they have a clue about anything they are doing. And do not forget his personal attacks on private citizens who have the temerity to suggest that he is less than gracious in his dealings with them. The man has made a reputation of never stepping back, never admitting a mistake, never apologizing for anything, and always hitting back. There's plenty more ...but maybe you can have a turn to point out one thing he has ever acknowledged as something he should have done differently (and his sarcastic suggestions do not count.)
Why would you think that's a mistake?
Most of his appointees were terrible picks to begin with, and what has come since any departures hasn't exactly inspired confidence? I'm excluding Chao, Mattis, Kelly, Haley, and to some extent McMaster. It creates a very real sense of incompetence at worst, and chaos at best. Let's take a few of the leftovers. Tillerson's administration of State is beyond God awful (but thankfully has some measure of interest in keeping us from unnecessary war), Carson doesn't know what the hell he is doing and as a result neither does HUD, DeVos' incompetence leaves her almost utterly hopeless in shaping public ed policy (save for the careerists at Ed and some of the Assistant Secretaries finally being appointed), Mnuchin is a walking PR disaster, Sessions is left being a placeholder almost no one wants, Zinke becomes a punch line with travel expenditure scandal and gets caught with his pants down trying to shake down a prominent Senator for a critical vote on a healthcare bill....and then there's his ****ing kids and Boy Wonder, who seem to serve no purpose other than a government pay check and an inevitable let down to any negotiation or bill amendment.
Every single person you mentioned is doing the job Trump hired them to do. Your opinion about how they are doing is irrelevant. Trump's opinion is the only one that matters. If Trump decides he doesn't like what any of them are doing, he'll fire them and get someone else. But, if that happens it cannot be classified as a mistake. It's just a case of someone not doing their job to his satisfaction.
That's the way it happens in business all the time. That's the way it is in government...now. You might not like it...too bad.
Can Trump just declare anything he wants to be fake news and will his supporters believe it? If so, do Trump supporters create an environment of zero accountability for him?

Did you know how the NFL’s popularity evolved over the last year? It was doing fine and then tanked as soon as the President tweeted against it.
Yes, his supporters believe anything, because they belong to a personality cult.

No, the lies, and the failure to report the truth by the msm were clearly recognized by educated people long before Trump.Can Trump just declare anything he wants to be fake news and will his supporters believe it? If so, do Trump supporters create an environment of zero accountability for him?
What kind of people???
People who prefer straight talk instead of homogenized, focus group tested babble that nobody in their right mind takes seriously.
Trump got elected by simply repeating focus group tested words and concepts over and over again.
So, no.
He probably already holds that title.
Over-exaggeration (which is what the man is prone to do) isn't a lie. Not unless you've gone bat**** crazy and are frantic, spending sleepless hours picking the finest of nits. (which is what the Unthinking Left, the Rarely Right, and the I Will Never Believe a God Damn Word That Comes Out of Their Mouths Media are prone to do)
"If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it."
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky"
"There are WMD's in Iraq"
Now those are lies.
1. "And just so you know from the Secret Service, there aren't too many people outside protesting, OK. That I can tell you."
This is, literally, the first line of his speech. Trump is obsessed with the idea that the opposition to him is overstated while the support for him is understated. (They won't turn the cameras around and show the size of my crowds!) CNN's Saba Hamedy, who was on the scene of the protests,

Focus groups???
That's the balliwick of the establishment.
Sure.
And "job creator" wasn't focus grouped by frank luntz.
Trump just repeated all the things conservatives have been conditioned to irrationally hate.
Which he learned from the same sources.
And gets the same neurochemical buzz from.
So he and his followers were wallowing in a dopamine(and other neurochemical) buzz and it got him elected.
The media is working it's ass off to prove him right. Maybe you oughta talk to them?
So what, everything Trump is true and everything a critic says is wrong? Do you want Trump to be a king? Because you are giving the same level of accountability a monarch would have in a feudal kingdom.
At one point during the rally, Austyn Crites, a registered Republican who is supporting Hillary Clinton, made his way towards the front of the crowd. He then silently held up a sign that read, "Republicans against Trump." A scuffle broke out as Trump supporters began pummeling him and attempted to rip the sign away. During the melee, someone yelled, "gun!" This prompted Trump's Secret Service protective squadron to immediately rush the candidate off-stage.
The Secret Service quickly handcuffed Crites and led him away. But, after searching him, they found no weapon, and he was released after brief questioning. The Secret Service also noted that those attending the rallies of major presidential candidates must go through metal detectors.
The agents brought Trump back on stage and the rally continued. Thanking the Secret Service, Trump said, "Nobody said it was going to be easy for us. But we will never be stopped."
Yet, several of his supporters went further, tweeting that their candidate had just survived an attempt to kill him.
That night, Dan Scavino, the candidate's social media aide and Trump's son, Donald, Jr, retweeted this from a Trump supporter: "Hillary ran away from rain today. Trump back on stage minutes after assassination attempt."
Not everything, but they get it wrong a lot. Especially over the past year.
The AT's in the press cocked up four different stories last week.
