Out of the mouths of babes could be changed to out of mouths of foreigners. Thank you for speaking out. I have to laugh when people bash Trump. I'm pretty sure I know what would have happened to this country if Hilary had won, and it wouldn't be pretty.

For the last eight years, Obama could do no wrong. Now, this man has been in office just a few weeks, and already he can't please anyone . . . except those of us who voted for him.

I'm glad he won. And I thank you again for speaking on his behalf. 8-)

Thanks damommy for resonating with the message of the poem. With the release of the Fiza Memo, the more we should be vigilant to protect your President. I want to join the group of Trump supporters, is there any group you may have known that you can recommend. I am now a legitimate US immigrant and I am here in Vegas for about two months now with my daughter who is an oncology nurse here in Vegas. All the best and God bless. Susan (nassus)

I'm so happy you feel the same way. I'm sorry I don't know much about groups to join. I'm not a joiner. Perhaps contact the local Republican Party and see what you can do there. Keep me posted, please.

I loved your clever, deep, and thought provoking writing on a very contemporary subject. You are revealing here not only a current state of affairs, but also a dirty contradiction, a huge hypocrisy, and a wonderfully worded commentary.
I enjoyed this political satire very much.
Blessings,
Brother Badger

Thanks a lot Brother Badger., now I am quite relieved that many do love your President with the reactions I got from the FanStroy members. Although there are a few who hated my guts in posting this poem. Thanks for the warm stars. God bless. Susan

Yes, the media sway any which way and I'm at a loss to find the truth. I enjoy your writings on Trump and see that he is possibly your Achilles heel after all? A well written piece. Congratulations. Susan

Thanks sue for considering this humble work a well written piece. Thanks too, for seeing Trump differently from the way the Trump-hating media and the Democrats Trump haters look at you President. God bless. Susan (nassus)

BOTH sides of the news media are flawed by
their political leanings. The American citizenry
are equally at odds and equally dissatisfied with
the opposition's reporting.

Thomas Jefferson said:

"Our Liberty depends on the freedom of the
press, and that cannot be limited without loss."

"No government should be without censors;
and where the press is free none will ever be."

and Christopher Dodd said:

"When the public's right to know is threatened,
and when the rights of free speech and free press
are at risk, all of the other liberties we hold dear
are endangered."

Although I disagree with the sentiments of your
poem, I stand behind the inalienable right to
express it. Only through free and open discourse
can we hope to find a way to navigate through the
tempest of our differences and, eventually, identify
our common grounds.

Since it is the skill and crafting, not the message,
we are meant to rate here - your poem meets the
criteria effectively and clearly generates passionate
discussion - what more could I ask from a poem. :-)

At least we can disagree over issues not on hot heads but on civil heads and that's the mark of real democracy. I really don't like people who adhere to "group think" and only listen to one view and almost always the Left's view "only ", just like in the case of Universities in your country. I have been following the speaking events of Milo, Ben Shapiro, Dinesh, Ann Coultier, Brigitte Gabriel, Pamela Geller and they all have been harassed and almost prevented to speak for the lame excuse of violence in the campus. I thought Americans are the champions of free speech and press freedom. In my country , the Philippines, opponents of the radical Left can speak freely against them without restrictions. But really thank you for allowing me to express my views , at least there is still hope for America that I have learned to love dearly even though I am not an American citizen. God bless.

Yup, you've made some valid points about the liberal media, but I still say that Trump is his own worst enemy. If he could maintain a presidential posture, more people would be wanting him to succeed.

Boy, you're really obsessed with this dude, LOL. I think this is the third piece on Trump that you've written. Maybe there's even more. I'm not here all the time. Always enjoyable to read your work, Susan.

Thanks a lot Louise, I am not an American citizen just to remind you, I am from the Philippines but I have learned to love your country because of your love for freedom, of which is slowly eroding because of the influence of the Left's communist and God-less ideology. Trump is just not politically correct as what the Deep State wants him to be, but Trump will, not fit in with the "group think". he is the modern Cyrus of the Bible who will shatter the God-less culture of the Left. That, i believe is why, they hate him so much. God bless. Susan (nassus)

Excellent Nassus. I wonder where the honeymoon period for President Trump went. I don't think he can do anything to please some but for many of us....he is doing what needs to be done and the fake news sounds like more sour grapes to me.

Thanks for writing and sharing.

blessings
Janet

Thanks a lot Janet for sharing your thoughts on this humble piece. I just hope, the people will open their eyes, that the Left and the communist ideology is a god-less ideology which have no place in a true democracy like America.

Nassus,

I found this refreshing honest and hopeful. As opposed to so much that's being written on the site right now regarding our new president. It's frustrating that he can't breathe without someone naysaying it. Give the guy a break. UGH. I enjoyed!

Reuters, Bloomberg and Associated Press better get there stuff organized. We can't blame Trump for fake news. He officially hasn't even been in office for the past 90 days. Everyone wants to be like him with the name calling. Fake news... It's out of line. Lol.

Good work

Thanks a lot for the positive response, I have been getting a lot of flak from the members who happen to be anti-Trump in this site. But I respect too, their views.

Comment from Jackarrie

HI
we are all entitled to have an opinion that is a democracy, the idea is that we respect each others view. I wrote this Acrostic last week
Mary
Donald Trump is the forty-fifth president of the United States.
Only time will tell if this leader steps up to the plate
Not everyone voted for him, millions voted for Hillary
A huge surprise for the people, his votes were a real mystery
Lunacy comes to mind, a president with no experience
Delegating to his team and the chosen vice president Pence
Trump is tactless, with childish temper, wants his own way
Rallying support for a wall to be made with Mexican clay
Unrelenting about the immigrants, because of Allah they pray
Megalomaniacal tendencies are shown by his nature so kitsch
Preferring to ignore the working-class, and favor the rich

.

My dear friend you sound exactly like CNN, you have the same narrative as the Left and the Democrats. You only speak one language, come to think of it, when i switch to CNN and other Trump-hating media, they are alike, they utter the same words, the same hatred and the same language. Why? Just remember, Trump returned prayer to the White House, Jesus can now be spoken in classes which cannot be done during the Obama presidency. Military chaplains are threatened with court marshal if they pray in Jesus name during the Socialist reign of Obama. But now military chaplains and soldiers are no longer afraid to sue their superiors when they are reprimanded for talking about Jesus because they have Trump to back them up. That is so important to me being a Christian. Trump is the modern Cyrus of the Bible . Sorry for being so blunt in my words. I am from the Philippines but I love your country, I hope you can love too, America as I do , and don't fall into the trap of the communist-leftist, you just don't know how the Christians suffered in the hands of the Communist Russia, China and North Korea. God bless.

Thank you for sharing what would have been your entry in the four line poetry contest you missed. I am glad you shared it anyhow because of its subject of media bias and the craft of your poem itself. If you follow world history you will know that the press and rulers seldom get along with one anther. Thank you for sharing your poem on this topic.
