I don't know if they think this is going to boost Hillary's chances much, but they are creating very dagerous narrative...

That trump is unfit to lead? That is a true narrative.

If there is another narrative, that they give, let me know.

Criteria to be unfit for the Presidency:
1- Lying to the FBI: Clinton
2- Lying under oath to Congress: Clinton (just these first two points make her worse than Nixon)
3- Demonstrated gross inability to handle classified information (much less nuclear codes): Clinton
4- Rigging a Presidential primary against an opponent: Clinton
5- Demonstrated gross incompetence in foreign policy: Clinton
6- Gross third-world style corruption took money from foreign regimes in exchange for favors: Clinton

Don't let facts get in the way of your "narrative"....

1, 2 and 3 are debateable.
4 is a fantasy.
5 is not true.
6 is not true.

Criteria for not being fit for being President:

1) lacking knowledge on how the government works.
2) Being sued by the justice department twice.
3) being under investigation for raping a minor.
4) Having little knowledge of our diplomacy with other countries.
5) Having no knowledge of what a 'blind Trust' is
6) Bribing peoople to open a casino.
7) Bribing a District attorney with your foundation money, paying fines with your foundartion money,
buying TWO large oirtraits of yourself with your foundastion money, also a trip to Paris and a
Tim Tebow helmet. Taking credit for charitable donations from other charities. And accepting an award for it.
8) Being generally stupid.

Works for me.

Because I don't get how anyone can think Trump is fit for president of the USA?

It's downright scary that so many think he is.

I had thought it was 1 portrait, today I learned there are 2. Neither have been given to charities or auctioned off. Just bought with his Foundation money and hung in 2 of his properties.

I found a new one today that is a BIG scam. Gonna give it to Ante, though.

Thanks, USA Today!

This is exactly why over 90% of American's distrust the MSM.

Tens of thousands of new votes for Trump!

More like desperation as in - the media has long ago insinuated itself with the government. When they call themselves the "4th Branch" they aren't far wrong. Next time you get a chance, take a look at how many of the most powerful faces in the press and editorial rooms are married to powers in politics.

Then consider that some of the wealthiest counties in the nation right now are surrounding DC. Average salaries in those areas are in the 6-digit range and a lot of the press folks live there.

They see a threat to the party and cocktail circuit, their elite party and gravy train, no more, no less.

I am not surprised.

1) He is unfit for the Presidency.
2) That is about the 100th orgaization to say so (not counting leaders of countries in that number).

It's common sense, not despration. Or are they desperate for the country to not fall to pieces? Could be the same thing by doing this.

They haven't taken sides before, so they are taking a side for a reason this time.

Trump IS fit to be president more than any president we have had for DECADES. This country has gone steadily down the tubes in a steeper decline with each successive president until Obama, and then the decline was ramped up a hundred fold, which if it isn't stopped soon we will lose America.

Because of all the known pundits, news papers and loser politicians who themselves are even now contributing heavily to FU''ing up America even more, and they are saying Trump is unfit, is even MORE reason for any sane self thinking person to conclude they are FULL OF SH'';t and only protecting their future further looting of our money just like Obama himself has done to the tune of 16 trillion or more, (but you never counted did you)..

You think you are doing the right thing by parroting lunacy from the left, but you are helping only those who will loot the country to burning flames and then throw you under the bus, which actually they already did and you never noticed. That is the glaring truth of reality that a lot of people see.

End of story. It's just too bad that you aren't getting the real picture of what will happen to America with another LOOTER in the white house.

When will these people realize that this only grows Trump's voter base. It shows just how out of touch with reality that they really are.

Come November the Trump University trial is set for racketeering charges.

I don't think there has ever been a case where a crooked businessman became an honest politician so USA Todays statement isnt unfounded.

a reply to: Deny Arrogance

Is there a website where all of us Deplorable Trump supporters can network? We need to identify and boycott publications and companies that are Anti-Trump. I for one have had my last Starbucks coffee for a long long time..unless it's free.

A. Clinton lying to the FBI and Congress is historical fact, nothing "debatable"

B. Clinton did rig the Democratic primary, not a fantasy - DNC emails for all to read

C. Clinton grossly incompetent in foreign policy
- her failed Syria policy created the greatest refugee crisis since WW2 !
- her failed Libya policy: she actually managed to get Libya someone worse than Gaddafi: Islamists !
- after the Egyptian people got rid of the Muslim Brotherhood, Clinton to this day insist that they return to power
- failed Russia "reset" policy
- disastrous Iraq policy
- failed Iran policy
Clinton FAILED at every major issue, FAILED!

D. Clinton corruption: all true, for all to see from her leaked emails, some even containing the very term "pay to play" removing any doubt

E. Clinton sex crimes: she defended a pedophile that raped a 13 year old, and yet you defend her for it - it does not get much lower

Point is, anyone, anyone at all, the guy that mows your lawn, your cleaning lady, anyone would be better than Clinton...it is simply impossible to do worse.....she makes Nixon look like a saint....

Even if they are right, which is not upon them to judge, it's perilous thing to declare. If they are right, they should have declared it long ago, not now a month before election day...

Honestly I think the media wanted the ratings from Trump being the nominee, but now it's crunch time and the changes to trade and such trump has mentioned will either be REALLY good or REALLY bad. No real middle ground.....


Hillary is status quo. All present problems remain problems, but she prob won't crash the world economy either.

You mean the temperament, steadiness, and honesty that the establishment provides you via Shillary?

Laugh I do out loud.

Yes, there are 2. I do not know where the other one is at this time.

He claims the one hanging in his club is so his charity doesn't have to store it. If he'd stored it in a closet that would be acceptable. But, he didn't. He is benefiting from it hanging in his club. That is self-dealing.

Another thing he does is hire small businesses for various jobs in his building projects. Then refuses to pay them, telling them they can sue him, but it would cost them more then what he owes them.

Trump is about Trump. That's it.

a reply to: Profusion

This is a first because for the first time in history a presidential nominee has no business being the leader of our free world and that's why for the first time they spoke up. Trump is a pathological liar. Trump says we need law and order but this is the same man who says the Geneva Convention is an out of date problem, wants to kill terrorists families (probably tack on friends, co workers, acquaintances), wants to bring back torture, and is all for getting rid of any and all regulations from Wall Street to the FDA. I mean WTF! Law and order my ass!

And these are just a few of the many reasons Trump is unfit.

I think many of his supporters hatred of Clinton greatly clouds their judgement of Trump. The rest of his supporters are bigots, literal KKK white supremacist bigots. Stupid and hateful.

People don't read the newspaper anymore.

I think they are just trying to stay relevant and failing badly.

Have you noticed an uptick in media bashing Trump since he became the Republican nominee? It seems like it's been wall-to-wall Trump bashing since the start of this year to me.

Nearly every politician is a lawyer... good luck finding one who hasn't represented someone horrible.

A) he has given them more than a little fodder. Clinton hasn't. All her accusations are either super questionable or normal operating procedure for our dirtbag politicians.

B) I think they are scared...he is spiteful and willing to tear it all down.

The only pathological liar is Hillary and President Obama, which is FACT. And add yourself to that list for supporting pathological liars and voting for pathological liars, and now you can add your own name to a list of contradictory supporters of pathological lairs for saying voting for Trump as a pathological liar is a bad thing? When you already support and love pathological liars.

Now that discrepancy goes FAR beyond the bend.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Donald J. Trump is the first and only major party nominee for president who has not received an endorsement from ANY major news paper.
Hillary is receiving endorsements from traditionally conservative and highly respected publications. One's who have never endorsed a democrat before.
