Any "reasonable" Republican would have joined the Democrats by now. They are literally the party that is pro-assaulting reporters and surrounding themselves with white supremacist militias. There's no excuse for any "moderate" Republican to be on board with that so anyone left is at least comfortable with the party as it is. There are no decent Republicans left.

Hey, I didn't say they were good people, just that they were sane.

He said the same thing about Mexico. The US president literally has no idea what a trade deficit is, how that whole thing works, and how it ties into the national debt, aggregate demand and all those other things you're supposed to understand when you run a country.

Oh word? The same dude who called his traitorous NSA advisor at 3am to ask if a strong dollar was a good thing or bad thing is a dumb dumb. Got it

Did previous president's press briefings have these kinds of "last week the president cured cancer, solved world hunger, ..." segments at the beginning? I find them hilarious.

Press briefings are something that I've only recently begun paying attention to outside of the West Wing. Do they always sound like propaganda and so much blown smoke?

They always start out with an overview of what the president has done recently and will be doing. But yeah lately they are much more propaganda sounding

To a certain extent, yes, the point of these things is for the White House to push its agenda and the stuff its been doing that it wants the media to talk about.

But Spicer's pretty over the top about "this morning President Trump made a dookie like a big boy and we're all blown away by it." And it doesn't help that (a) they haven't accomplished a lot so they hype a lot of bullshit and (b) he's been on the defensive since Day 1.

Spicer (or Sanders) gets up there and lets loose a long, wet fart about the trivial routine bullshit Trump is doing as propaganda to make it seem like he has a double-digit number of functioning brain cells. Then reporters grill him on the scandals of the week, Spicer yells at them and gets angry, then runs away.
