I would prefer Donald Trump lose in 2020. Enough statements; time to win something.

Citation please. Im sure it CAN work in some circumstances, I'm not sure Trump is one of those.
3 tips for engaging resistant youths wrote:What are reflective statements and questions? They simply get the youth (or whoever you’re talking to for that matter) to reflect on themselves in some way, to potentially gain insight into what’s happening for them in that moment. And that’s what our true goal with resistance should be: That the teen her or himself learns something about him or herself when it comes to resistant behavior.

There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn't so easy in a car, and you can't cover as much ground walking.
Chen wrote:Forgetting that harsh talking may be effective in some cases, does anyone really think that will work with Trump? We know he's stubborn and unmoving. I don't see being harsh to him in particular working. The fact he holds pretty much all the power in any of these dynamics (you know, by being president) certainly doesn't help. His advisers suggesting he do things by making it seem like they're his ideas is probably the best we'll get from him. Frankly I'm sure that's what's already happening. The thing a lot of people are missing is that a lot of Trump's terrible ideas are not his alone. He very likely DOES have advisers telling him to implement these kinds of things. He's certainly not alone in the vast majority, if not all, his beliefs.

Spooky.Transcripts, and in one case video, of three depositions taken over the last decade provide a fascinating look into how the prolifically dissembling president behaves when he is under oath. The Donald Trump who emerges from these depositions is the same but different from the one familiar to Americans today. He is just as apt to bluster and braggadocio, and sometimes peevish. But within the confines of conference rooms and offices, he is calmer, more restrained, and more deliberate than his public persona, and with the tether of his oath holding him back, often acknowledges when he is wrong or has misrepresented things in the past.

He's gotta be lying about the oath part, like some sort of delaying tactic, because Trump does awful during interviews. Well, wait, the way he acts under oath is very different. He thinks more. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/ar ... ch/550073/Spooky.Transcripts, and in one case video, of three depositions taken over the last decade provide a fascinating look into how the prolifically dissembling president behaves when he is under oath.

In an interview with ITV's Piers Morgan, Mr Trump said he knew "nothing" about Britain First before sharing three of its videos in November.
"If you are telling me they're horrible people, horrible, racist people, I would certainly apologise if you'd like me to do that," he told Morgan.

A progress of sorts? Or Is the apology so 'meta' as to be meaningless...

Breaking with long-standing tradition, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin endorsed the weakening of the dollar as “good” for the United States.
Speaking during a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 24, Mnuchin said: “Obviously, a weaker dollar is good for us as it relates to trade and opportunities.”
The reaction was swift. The greenback dropped like a stone as news of his comments spread, hitting a three-year low in currency markets.
Never before in living memory has one of America’s top economic officials spoken in favor of a weaker dollar. The president himself dove into the mix by reassuring nervous investors after he arrived in Davos that he does, in fact, favor a stronger dollar.
Indeed, that’s been the usual mantra out of Washington for decades. Mnuchin’s immediate predecessor, Jacob Lew, for example, put it this way: “A strong dollar has always been a good thing for the United States.”
[...]
Mnuchin may have begun to realize he went too far soon after he made his remarks on Jan. 24 – or noticed the dollar’s sudden plunge – because the next day he tried to walk them back, declaring that the Trump administration is not really concerned with “where the dollar is in the short term.”
The effort seemed half-hearted, as he described his previous words as “consistent with what I’ve said before…. There are benefits and there are costs of where the dollar is.”

Trump didn't get elected due to the media unintentionally giving him a free platform for his obnoxious views in an attempt to smear the Republican party by forever associating them with Trump. Trump got elected due to the media intentionally giving him a free platform because the media is secretly in love with the guy that brings in all the ratings, or at least loves to hate him and doesn't want him to leave.

Your runaway steamroller does indeed have an engineer. Just look at the CNN website. The Dow disappeared from the front page soon after the election, only reappearing sporadically whenever the market takes a hit. The news companies used to parade around the "jobs created this month" stat under Obama, but barely make any mention of it now. They aren't lying, but they do decide what news to report on.

Calling awkward truths fake devalues both the truth and the truly fake.
Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to plan a military parade that would see soldiers marching and tanks rolling down the streets of Washington, it was reported on Tuesday.
The move was instantly criticised, with one veterans’ group comparing the president to “a wannabe banana republic strongman”.
[...]
Trump, who did not serve in the Vietnam war after receiving five draft deferments, has long spoken of his admiration for tough military figures such as General George Patton and frequently makes reference to “my generals”.
[...]
Richard Painter, former White House ethics lawyer for George W Bush, tweeted: “Cool. Just like in North Korea and Russia. But what do we do about those traitors who don’t clap during our Dear Leader’s speech?” – a reference to Trump’s criticism of Democrats who did not applaud during his state of the union address.

I'm not calling CNN fake, the alt-right (and regular far-right) and far left are. But they have a point that CNN does manipulate, even though it's not false. Propaganda isn't usually lies, other than lies of omission.
