All religious people are busted in the brain, though. He could've meant that, which isn't Islamophobic so much as it is just plain correct.

Yeah? Greatest country in the world has a king. Norway. Like all monarchies in the civilized world, he's purely symbolic. Meanwhile, we have a president who can barely string together a sentence, didn't win the majority of the minority of voters who turned out, and is actively dismantling everything good we've built since FDR.

Was it this thread that was talking about the media smearing trump?

If it seems President Trump gets almost nothing but bad press, you're not imagining things: A new report from Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy finds that the media coverage of Trump's first 100 days in office is historically negative. The report analyzed print editions of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post; the main newscasts from CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC; plus the UK's Financial Times and BBC and Germany's public service broadcaster ARD. Interestingly, the report points out, during his presidential campaign, "Trump received far more coverage, and far more positive coverage, than did his Republican rivals." That changed when he got the nomination. Key findings from his first 100 days in office:

On national TV, 41% of all news stories were about Trump; that's three times higher than previous presidents experienced.

In TV broadcasts about him, Trump himself accounted for 65% of the sound bites. Overall, Republicans accounted for 80% of the sound bites, with the rest coming from Democrats (6%), protesters (3%), the FBI (1%), and "other" (10%).

A whopping 80% of media coverage of Trump with a "clear tone" during his first 100 days was negative; compare that to 57% for George W. Bush. During the worst week for Trump, 90% of coverage was negative. The percentage of negative coverage never dropped below 70%.

Even on Fox News, 52% of coverage of Trump that was clearly skewed was negative. All other outlets analyzed were 70% negative or higher.
There was no one major topic for which coverage of Trump was more positive than negative, which the report says sets "a new standard for unfavorable press coverage of a president.

"While just 3% of US news reports about Trump directly questioned whether he's fit for office, European news reports were much more likely to raise the question. ARD, for example, devoted 20% of its Trump coverage in January to the question. And 98% of the time the question was raised by ARD, the answer was no.

Note that I don't consider it smearing him because he is a retard and if you objectively report about him it will probably be negative but you could certainly make the argument

I'm glad he's fine, though. I imagine he'd be doing stuff like confirming to the world that he was regurgitating Israeli intelligence to the Russians. Wait, that's what he did a few hours ago. I forget these things, it moves at such a clip.

Trump should take a page from FDR's playbook and threaten to pack the Supreme Court if the unprecedented judicial and legislative obstruction of his agenda isn't ended.

Then he should do it, anyway. Show that broke-rear end cripple how a real man makes America great again.
