If the left can't refute the Trump Presidency, they'll keep making stuff up

     Liberals cannot get many to despise President Trump if, like me, we already had previously. Trump was my most disliked candidate, considering what I regarded as bloviating, insulting, and rudeness toward other candidates, most particularly his terrible insult of Carly Fiorina (His attempt to recover from the shame of that was equally shabby). But it soon came down to him or Hillary and it became no choice for me. Who would I prefer to greet the casket of my dead child: Obama, for whom my child would be nothing but a prop in a photo-op, or Hillary, who would blatantly lie to our faces about his death. Or Trump, who would make the murderers pay dearly for our loss? Or any other Democrat who would be the Favored One of those who long to be photographed trampling on the American flag, kneeling during the national anthem, or being cheered as they call our President "a motherf**ker".
     Not this kid; I have seen President Trump's accomplishments in the face of everything the American left has thrown at him and those he has selected to serve with him. He has defied demagogues in Congress, entire "News" networks, and their showboating "reporters", - openly dedicated to the destruction of the Trump Presidency - the entire "entertainment" industry, and much of academia.
We must fear this left and their silly, yet treacherous efforts to get the allegiance of the American people. This is not even close to being the Democrat Party of my family, my labor union, and of this nation's world wars.  The Tunnel Dweller

"Did Donald Trump’s mother call him idiot with zero common sense? Fact Check"


Snopes . . . To sum up, the president’s mother did not call him “an idiot with zero common sense.” We therefore rate this claim “False.' ” . . .

FactCheck.org . . . "The meme offers no citation for the quote, and we couldn’t find anything to lend it credibility: We searched online and through news archives and found no such statement from Mary Trump, who died in August 2000.
"Trump’s mother criticizing her son and forecasting his potential entrance into politics — not to mention calling such a move a “disaster” — would have no doubt made the quotation newsworthy, if she had said it, at the time and again later. Before Mary Trump died, Donald Trump already had become a wealthy developer and casino owner who gained celebrity status and publicly considered running for president in the late 1990s, before deciding not to run. The supposed quote also would have likely resurfaced during his 2016 presidential campaign." . . .
Here's a twofer from CHECK YOUR FACT"
. . . "However, the Daily Caller News Foundation found no record of Mary Anne Trump ever saying the quote attributed to her in the Facebook post. A search of news archives and interviews didn’t yield any matches. It only seems to appear in memes and social media posts.
"Other fact-checkers have also been unable to find any credible sources linking Mary Anne Trump to the quote.  . . .
"If Mary Anne Trump had said such a negative thing about her son before her death in 2000, it likely would have been picked up by the media when Donald Trump publicly considered running for president in the late ’90s, but no news outlets reported on it."
An article shared on Facebook claims former first lady Michelle Obama called President Donald Trump the “dumbest president in United States history.”   
"Verdict: False  There is no record of Obama ever saying the statement. The quote originated on a satirical website."
