Want to Get Rid of Trump? Only Fox News Can Do It [View all]

They bend over backward to justify everything Mr. Trump does, largely because they dont believe what anyone in the news media is telling them, except for maybe Fox News.
A prominent businessman here, for example, views the whole fake Russian story as a coup attempt by the media.
A sergeant major in the Iowa National Guard recently overheard a pro-Trump law enforcement friend and me disagreeing about Mr. Trump. He shook his head and smiled, telling me, Well, all I know, Bob, is that my units budget just doubled.

One friend who twice voted for Barack Obama now sees World War III on the horizon and deeply regrets his vote for Mr. Trump.
