No, Democrats are not their worst enemies. The press has been putting them at the same level as Republicans, regardless of the policies.

The Media’s Addiction to False Equivalencies Has Left Them Vulnerable to Trump
"Decades of conservative efforts to work the press are paying off handsomely."

"The only explanation I can muster for this embarrassment is the Times’s unyielding commitment to false-equivalency narratives, the product of decades of conservative efforts to work the refs. The thinking seems to boil down to this: “We’re running an article about Trump supporters’ violence against immigrants, people of color, Muslims, and Jews, so shouldn’t we also say something mean about liberals too? We wouldn’t want anyone to accuse us of liberal bias.” This has long been the modus operandi at virtually every establishment-media institution, and its cost has been normalizing Trump and his assaults on our free press and democratic norms."

[[http://uk.businessinsider.com/ap-trump-slump-signs-of-drop-in-international-tourism-to-us-2017-3?r=US&IR=T The U.S. Travel Association on Thursday said the Trump administration's immigration policies are hurting tourism] from Business Insider

The nonprofit industry organization said in a statement that there are "mounting signs" of "a broad chilling effect on demand for international travel to the United States."

The U.S. Travel Association's statement added to a growing chorus of concern from the travel industry over the impact of Trump administration policies on tourism.

Earlier this week, the tourism agency NYC & Company revised its 2017 forecast to predict a drop in inbound international travel to New York City, with 300,000 fewer visitors compared to 2016. It will be the first drop in visitation to New York since the start of the recession in 2008. and so on...

Press + Polls + Protests may create a tipping point for some GOP members so that they remember basic sense of decency or, more likely, self-preservation.

Either that or the other, scarier P words: Prosecution + Prison will do the trick. Smile

I think that if people start seeing a reduction in business income from tourists, that will cause Republican Governors and Congress people concern.

Rhetoric is one thing. But economic reality is another.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

He is on Twitter again:

He is unhinged.

Of course they would tap the phone of someone who wants to be President.

Trump's tweets suggest: 1.) he was personally under investigation for illegally colluding with a hostile power; 2.) he's seriously unstable.

blueskyinmarch · 04/03/2017 12:34

Trumpologist sounds about right!

BiglyBadgers · 04/03/2017 12:38

The @roguepotus account raised the interesting question of whether Trump has just revealed classified information about an ongoing investigation in those tweets.

I think the response to this little rant-a-phon could be interesting.
