USA Today 50 Percent think Trump is a victim of witch hunt

Congratulations to the media for it's success in Trump's 2020 re-election.

So what do we call 'them' now?
Russian Truthers?
Flat Trumpers?


USA Today Poll

Here is an opinion piece from Tim Young:
Trump was Right

For the survey, 1,000 registered voters were interviewed by telephone March 13-17. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.

A number of interesting finds in the poll:

Support for the House of Representatives to seriously consider impeaching the president has dropped since last October by 10 percentage points, to 28 percent. Despite that, the survey shows a nation that remains skeptical of Trump's honesty and deeply divided by his leadership. A 52 percent majority say they have little or no trust in the president's denials that his 2016 campaign colluded with Moscow in the election that put him in the Oval Office. That number does reflect an improvement from previous polls. One year ago, 57 percent had little or no trust in his denials; in December, 59 percent did. Twenty-eight percent say they have a lot of trust in former FBI director Mueller's investigation to be fair and accurate. That's the lowest level to date and down 5 points since December. In comparison, 30 percent express a lot of trust in Trump's denials, the highest to date.

Naturally, the intellectual superiors in the press ( who have a long track record of top flight reporting) are blaming 'the stupid people' again.

The Washington Post’s Anne Gearan: “This is a shift from the numbers that we’ve seen in the past. Is that just a reflection of when you hear something from President Trump often enough, people start to buy into it?”

Many others are simple accusing Muller of a coverup or worse:

Wait... what?

DOH!
Ok, I get it....

Well Trumps a dude, or so I'm lead to believe.

Could be wrong all the same.

Edit: Was just aiming for a little bit of levity before the inevitable right vs left nastiness kicks in, politics and all that jazz.

Only 50%?

The hate still runs deep.

Those responsible must be held accountable. This was nothing less than treason.

50% are still sheep to them.

Well he is a victim of the investigation, but he did have a big role in the events that lead up to it. I don't think any politician in an open democracy can get away with some of the things Trump has said and done.
And of course he's going to play the victim, but wether that will be enough for a second term? It could be, but only if enough Trump voters will be pleased with his policy I suspect. He'd be beter of making sure his isolation policy is not going to slow down the economy

Well he does have a big warty nose, strange tinge to his skin tone and known to fly around on a broom so.....

Just wait till the big names behind the hoaxes get exposed.

Just wait 😎

And at least we can focus on policy now. Legitimate discussion about his actions that are not lacking in criticism.

I was going to say the same thing, ONLY 50%???

The programming runs deep.

I think the numbers from the press might be just a bit off.
Remember when Hillary had a 98% chance of winning in the 2016 Election?

The number is probably more like 80% that think it was a witch hunt.

For anyone that actually study’s history, this is a replay of the McCarthy hearings of 1954. You see this is the problem with tearing down statues and changing the history books. Few people remember and young ones have no chance to learn, so history must be repeated.

That would be more reasonable in the realm of reality.

So, she's accusing Trump of stealing page one of the liberal MSM playbook?

The thing is, don’t forget that another of their narratives is of he and his supporters being, encouraging, or failing to disavow white supremacists and racists.

That card is still there.

Trump has been a victim of witch hunting since he took office.... yeah he's not the greatest president, but I can't think of a time he's not being negatively criticized on air for something/anything, and the positive things he has done for this country are left to the wind, and never really mentioned, or are mentioned, but swept under the rug fast with the next big thing to hate him with. so many people want to think in absolutes, and it's really sad. I'm not saying I'm a Trump supporter, or that I hate the guy, but damn, some good does come with the bad, and all people do is want to focus on the bad. No wonder we are a country divided, we always love to focus on the bad, never let go, and never forgive. what do you think that's going to do to us as a whole over time?

This is probably a topic for a thread all its own, but our media is so broken. How do we fix it? While I tend to agree with Trump that certain individuals within the media have become an enemy of the people -- the institution itself is not. In fact, very much the opposite. Without a free press, just like free speech, we cannot survive as a proper functioning open society.

One obvious answer is to discourage activism within the press. The work of a journalist can often appear to be activist in nature, but when those of an activist temperament are drawn into the field they are typically already starting from a point of clouded perception and bias. We need more people of an almost scientific temperament that approaches the information as if they are an alien studying another species off in some distant world that has no consequence on the observers day to day existence.

Not a Trump fan but the left have been nipping at his heels from day one. What happened to the 9 women that accused him and the porn actress all faded away. Russian this and Russian that for the last 2+ years. Yes is it was all a witch Hunt now I wonder what went on while everyone was distracted.

Since that poll was conducted on March 18th, I'm sure the numbers are higher now that Mueller has cleared the President. Those 50% should give themselves a pat on the back!

I’m looking forward to the “REEEEEEEEEE” of 2020 and his second term.

I’m especially looking forward to the campaign shenanigans of the President’s supporters. Road spikes behind ‘Trump’ signs, fish hooks hidden in American Flags, electrified MAGA banners and LOTS of assault rifles and handguns and go-pros to catch the REEEEE-actions of the weak and the gutless.

Either way, no matter what happens in 2020 the dEms are going to come in third or worse for that election.

Thanks cNn
