After bashing media for treating his nominee unfairly, Trump double backed on his attacks, claiming the press is ‘part of the vetting process.’ This comes days after reports revealed Rep. Ratcliffe lied about his qualifications for Intel Chief, marking the 63rd nominee to be withdrawn under Trump’s administration, nearly doubling President Obama. Former U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul criticizes Trump’s vetting process, calling Ratcliffe’s nomination ‘a failure of the inter-agency process in the Trump administration.’

See Donald Trump Debunk His Own ‘Fake News’ Attack | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
How is he still president? Seriously. How?
So, are you saying that you are opposed to equal rights for all Americans? A vote for Trump is a vote for the USA. A vote for a Democrat is a vote against the USA.
The well educated understand him and most of us voted for him.
It will never happen.
Racial supremacy of any kind had nothing to do with it.
Worst President ever…. Nepotism, Corruption, Division, Hatred…..🤮🤮🤮🤮
@Tammy T I’ve noticed you like to post a lot, but I noticed that the majority of your posts that I have seen are incorrect information and well, not to educated on certain subject matters. My suggestion is to go and get truly informed especially when it comes to Hitler and the Nazis. You are just WRONG!! Maybe you’ll learn something or just keep being a troll, whatever it doesn’t matter to me either way because sometimes you just can’t fix stupid!!
lol. Ok 🙂
@Czech Paratrooper Clickbait another russian bot. Go back to where you come from troll
@S. Cocci That statement alone shows you have neither education, elegance nor money. To call that ….. the greatest President ever shows that you and your cohorts have no idea what’s going on but hey, go ahead, vote for him again and see where eventually it all ends up. Good luck dude. HIckland is Hickland.
Yup and you all are sheeple
So, fake news is real🤔
@vonsuthoff you showing your age😂😂
vonsuthoff that was good!
@Patrick Harvey … I only wish Patrick~!
I don’t know why what you said about fake news reminded me of a poem I read 50 years ago as a cub scout… but it did! Lol*
In reality, I am an old white fart from Mississippi who was the first hip-hop radio jock (DJ) on the Gulf Coast from New Orleans to Mobile. Couldn’t believe they paid my partner and I to have so much fun!!! We were the “Freaks of Nature” and I was “Freak #1,” a funkmeister by any other name!
Let’s see… there was Curtis Blow… Afrika Bambaataa… and Bootsie Collins doin’ it up on his “space bass!” Then, Rick James… etc… But my all time favorites were… and still are… George Clinton’s Parliament and the Mothership Connection… with songs like… “I Wants ta Get Funked Up!” … And the one and only Cameo featuring the incomparable Larry Blackmon at lead vocals! Still got all of them on my Mp3 in my car! Ahhh yes, the good ol daze!
I like the new stuff too. Still into music as much as ever. I have a wide variety of tastes these days… Guess everybody does. If Lil Nas X can team with Billy Ray Cyrus to make a country/rap hit with “Old Town Road,” I guess anything goes! And I must admit that song got stuck in my head for two weeks!!!
Have you even heard of these old groups I mentioned? Tell me about you. Where you from?
@Moscow Mitch … Thanks Moscow! And damn~! You grabbed yourself the Moscow Mitch handle!!! Good grab!
Blow a little smoke up his a$$ And watch the Donald dance….
The exact opposite is typically what happens. Knowing that, I’m surprised that anyone on the left has the ability to crow.
Pomfromoz : Remember, America. It won’t MATTER if Trump survives a partisan vote. Just getting the Tax Returns; the Cronies being unable to LIE or withhold the TRUTH; the Foundation records; the Emoluments PROOF, and of course, the WHOLE Russia Story; THAT WILL END TRUMP’S ELECTION HOPES. IMPEACH
Competent reporting =”Lamestream Media” in Trumpworld. He’s such an ignorant man. “Man” is too good a label for him. Kim was right. Turns out Kim really has all the best words. “Dotard” fits Trump perfectly.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC almost never perform competent reporting. He is a man. In fact, he is an alpha male. Are you trying to dehumanize him? He is also highly intelligent.
Some are men, others merely male.
Right there is why trump is unqualified to be President just shameful
@Tammy T outstanding performance? Which of making America racist again or bigoted or a laughing stock of the world? He is a complete and utter buffoon when it comes to running a business let alone running a country. Picking a candidate to lead the Intelligence division of our government that has absolutely no qualifying abilities for the position. His pick was nothing but an attempt to put a yes man in the position so they could say there was no foreign interference in our election in 2020.
At no point has President Trump ever tried to make America racist. President Obama encouraged that however. Virtually all of the racism, bigotry, sexism, hatred, and slavery comes from the left. President Trump has never been the laughing stock of the world. Our allies respect us and our enemies fear us once again. That was not the case under President Obama. It is very important to remember that your personal beliefs are not representative of the world view. When you operate on a level in business that he has there are many risks. Sometimes those risks pay off and sometimes they don’t. The fact that he has been able to pick up the pieces, start over, and succeed again is a testament to his strengths. He is running the country like a business and he’s doing very well. John Ratcliffe may have done very well in the post, but it has been decided to keep looking. Whether this is a gaffe from President Trump or not is a matter of opinion. If it is a gaffe then it’s one of the few missteps for his administration. In order for you to know that the pick was “nothing but an attempt to put a yes man in the position so they could say there was no foreign interference in our election in 2020” you would either have to have the ability to read minds or you would have to have access to classified information. Are you claiming that either of these are true?
@Tammy T which of our allies do you think actually respect him
Everything he has said and done has proved him unfit and unqualified.
Trump is soooo f ing LAZY!!!!! 2020 Can’t get here fast enough!!!!
Yes can’t wait. TRUMP 2020! GO MAGA!
It’s crazy how he’s openly breaking laws by accepting help from an adversary…with no repercussions!!!
He will be re-elected in 2020.
@Tammy T If the russians have a say in it, yep, you’re are sadly correct. He cannot win a fair election.
Trump knew all about Radcliffe, but the word got out on him oh, so Donald had to throw him under a bus, if you are no use to the Donald the Donald throws you under the bus
Can you list these lies that you believe that he’s told?
@Thundertrain That he wasn’t impartial and a very poor pick that was going to fail.
As soon as they announced his interest in the role, it was pretty obvious…
I am so-ooo sick of this clown….Its like living a nightmare & when you wake up-this buffoon is still on t.v.-& can’t speak a coherent sentence & repeats himself…..WTF….
Black Sounds about white
@Black good luck with that, not going to happen,
@Donald Sanders
Creepy Joe isn’t beating the Donald mate, but no point arguing. You’ll have plenty of crying to do in 2020.
@Cornell Waters all right
That sounds about right
I’m surprised he didn’t try to get his youngest son Barron the job for Intel Chief lol
Toochie Toochie where is little baron?
Barons busy writing daddy’s speeches
@jebrown8 he’s in a all boys school.
@jebrown8 an Episcopal preparatory school in MD.
Intel chief and Fortnite official
Our President is growing up SO FAST, today he learned why we need the press.
You really do have to royally stupid to still support this waste of sperm trump…
Not fast enough!
Nothing Donald J Trump has done his entire life has been of any value.
That statement could not be any more wrong.
GOOGLE: DID TRUMP PAID ACTORS TO CHEER FOR HIM AT RALLIES ?
True
. The Trump campaign paid a contractor who then hired a subcontractor, Extra Mile Casting, to provide services at the 16 June 2015 rally where Donald Trump announced he would run for U.S.president.
June 20 2019 -Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 and Extras To Cheer for Him at his 2020 Campaign Launches !
Donald Trump hired background actors and extras for $50 to fill Orlando’s Amway Center, Florida to capacity while launching his 2020 Presidential campaign !!
An email sent by Extra Mile Casting, a casting agency shows that it needed people for an “event in support of Donald Trump and on June 16, 2019, the date of Trump’s Florida rally….
The email also stated it was looking to “cast people for the event to wear
those Maga hats,
t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement.” …His supporters have dwindled it seems.
If Trump has endorsed Johnson in the U.K. I think there might be troubled times ahead for that Country. Trump has never made the correct decision in his life.
Putin loves all trump’s decisions
@governmentcheese411 numbers that are a trend started during the Obama presidency. Numbers Trump is claiming as his own victories, rather than what is the truth…as usual

Ari, you are a treasure, my Brotha. Much love from the music industry and we hope you are here for AT THE LEAST another 2 years!
well
his demented majesty #dirtyoledon
is a pretend occupant of the WH
running a pretend “administration”
who has a pretend “business empire”
but who, unfortunately,
is doing real damage
Get an education eh? I have 4 BA’s, 3 MA’s, 2 PhD’s, an MD, and a DO. I run a private medical practice and I am the director of the mental health department at a level 1 medical university hospital. I have 78 other doctors under my supervision. I worked my way through 3 internships, my residency, and a fellowship. Between both jobs I cleared $1.4 million after paying everyone last year. I have an IQ of 157. I’m a nerd. I think I’m doing fine. How are you doing? Never assume that you know enough to pass judgment on others. 🙂
@Tammy T Are you Tim Pool’s Doctor? 😉
He hired people to follow his own strategy which does not exist,
Trump is a cautionary tale for not mixing Adderall with your nazism.
The Nazi’s were national socialists. They were collectivists and collectivism is left wing. All forms of collectivism (communism, socialism, fascism, liberal socialism, democratic socialism, and Nazism) are left wing. As a moderate conservative free market capitalist, President Trump is opposed to everything that Nazism stood for. Attempting to tie President Trump to Nazism is intellectually dishonest.
Why would you love something that is demonstrably inaccurate?
@Tammy T Then why is he acting like one?
I like that, lol
Trump in 2016: “I know the best people in the world. I’ll only bring in the best.”
Trump in 2017: “The Press is the Enemy of the People.”
Trump now:” The Press does our vetting now. I give you guys a name and you get the details.”
Obama had 32 nominees withdrawn in 8 years.
Trump has had – so far – 68 nominees withdrawn. ALREADY!
IS AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
What is Chaney doing may be we can get him to take trump on a hunting trip with him !
!
Ron Wright Hahaha- GOOD ONE!!!!
@Super Sonic Fantastic why hasn’t anybody else thought of that. That is a good one.
sadly a coward like donnie will never go anywhere if people will have GUNS.
So fake news do the vetting for him? Does he listen to himself? I know that his supporters don’t…
They only hear what they want to.
