Let me go on record by saying that I'm one of probably millions that is glad Hillary lost but wish someone else would have won. If other Republicans oppose President Trump i the 2020 primaries I would vote for someone else. He is very polarizing and we don't need that in the White House. However, I don't disagree with very little as to what he has done as president.
As far as the bias in the media…it's pretty clear. Newscasters are supposed to be unbiased and impartial yet more than a few were literally in tears on election night. One, when talking about the Trump victory described it as "this is what we are now faced with" as if it was a disaster of epic proportions.
One of the best examples I can give of the bias is how Melania Trump is portrayed. Several photos have been published showing her in a less that pleasant light. Her Christmas decorations were negatively judged. Hundreds of photos are taken every day. It isn't hard to find one of her not smiling. Would they have done this to Michele Obama (they probably would have let Michele approve any photo before publishing.) Melania hasn't appeared on any magazine covers, something that used to be common for first ladies. (Now that I think of it, she seems to rarely referred to as "First Lady.")
Everyone keeps complaining how Fox News is biased towards Trump. I don't see it that way. They have gone with several negative Trump stories. I believe they report fairly. They may seem biased because they are the only ones that give the president a fair chance. Listen to Morning Joe, Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnel on MSNBC. They do entire shows knocking the president. Joy Reid is off the charts in this area. Her entire schtick is how racist everything is and how bad the Trump presidency is. MSNBC and CNN can't go an entire day without knocking the president.
Trump can't be wrong on everything. We all get it…you hate him, Hail Hillary lost and you can't believe it. But it's been over the a year and a half. Show the president some support and respect. By all means oppose him in 2020. Run a spirited campaign and let's see what happens, but support the man in the White House.
What we have now is like having no government. Incredible amounts of time is being wasted on what amounts to petulant politicians.
You lost. Move on.
