anything he does. The ONLY thing he cares about is personal gain. What else motivates him?

Things that count as personal gain, in his mind:

...lying

...cheating

...stiffing workers and contractors

...cheating on wives

...making money off of presidency

...humbling and humiliating those around him

...punching down

...brutal dictators throwing out the red carpet for him

...getting elected to an office he is woefully inadequate to hold

...arm bending people in his administration into loyalty

...stealing an election with help from foreign adversary

...wrecking a successful program and re-naming the same policies with a new name and taking credit

...holding americans hostage so that lawmakers will give him foolish, unwise concessions

..sexual assault and spousal abuse

...paying off mistresses, enriching himself via presidency, lying 8 times per day, conspiring with foreign powers, alienating allies and having the media STILL give him the benefit of 'objective' analysis rather than dismissing him outright as corrupt, mean, small, and ignorant.

Crap.

go missing...but somehow the media discussion ignored who the person was, and doggedly tried to figure out what possibly could have happened to all the money.

Or...as though a donkey got elected president and the media persists in wondering why nothing ever gets done as the world falls apart, ignoring that a stubborn, braying animal is in charge.

EVERY CONVERSATION ABOUT WH POLICY SHOULD BEGIN BY STATING THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A SELFISH, LYING, CHEATING, IGNORANT NARCISSIST AND THEN GO ON FROM THERE. That much is FACT. As soon as House investigations and Mueller investigations progress, we will be able to add adjectives such as corrupt, treasonous, criminal....but for now we need to acknowledge who Trump is based on what we KNOW...and it's not pretty, not something we should ignore.

what so ever. All one needs to know is this,2016 was the most profitable year ever for MSM. Watch and see how the 2019 year starts for the Media,and watch Morning Joe for your clues.
