Interesting quote from Thomas Singer:
“How terrifying to think that our politics and our lives today have gotten horribly confused with reality TV, social media, computer and cell phone technology, and their infinite capacity to turn reality into illusion, Self (Jungian) into narcissism.”
And Elizabeth Mika:
“Tyrants identify with other tyrants and find inspiration in their successes, while remaining oblivious to their failures. They recognize and respect power as much as they are envious of and despise its wielders.”
And speaking of tyrants, which historically attack the media first in their quest for autocracy, has Trump already violated the first amendment?

“But Trump's intervention — through last week's tweet and its implied threat that the government would change tax laws to hurt the NFL — could provide the players with a stronger legal basis for a free-speech challenge against the United States, some legal scholars said. Left unchecked, Trump as president could financially compel any number of companies and private entities to do exactly what he wants, they said.”
But the leftist liberal news won't even headline or cover this great job report nor the highest ever stock market.
And swamp, left and right, will start screaming as they don't want Trump to succeed "Making America Great again".
FEWEST JOBLESS CLAIMS SINCE 1973
I love having a businessman as President and not a lying liberal, lawyer, money grabbing politician.

Economic growth (GDP)
3 of 10
One of the biggest criticisms of Obama's economy is that growth has been sluggish. Historically, the U.S. economy has expanded 3% or more a year, on average.
The Great Recession was a meat-cleaver on the economy. Since then, the U.S. has struggled to grow at much more than 2% a year under President Obama.

Annual GDP Growth During Obama Era
But annual GDP growth never hit 3% under Obama, prompting economists to dub the era a “low-growth” environment. Prior to the 2000s, the U.S. was no stranger to annual GDP growth upward of 3%.
GDP growth rose as high as 2.9% under Obama, but never breached 3% on an annual basis.
