My claim is that there has never in history been an American President so completely attuned to and directed towards HIS own interests as opposed to the countries. Further there has never been a politician so deterermined to feed his base the s**t they so want to hear.

The real problem with liberal 'logic' is it is constantly changing.

What do you find self-contradictory? If what I said is not meaningful than this entire thread is even more so, there is the false equivalency argument: all politicians do IT and Trump is no different, but Trump IS different. All politicians lie, but Trump tells the truth less than a broken clock. All (or most politicians dislike negative news, Trump rails against free speach. He wants to have retribution against satire for example. @Sicarium

Not a question of what I find contradictory. I said it was self-contradictory. And your claim, that Trump is both attuned so drastically to his own interests (whatever that means) and at the same just telling his base what they want to hear (meaningless trite from you) is self-contradictory. It cannot be both. Trump cannot be only pursuing his own interests while at the same time appeasing his base.
Non-sequitur.
That isn't what I said, you're intentionally distorting my comment to fit your own narrative. That isn't me making a false equivalency argument, that's you being dishonest.
Meaningless trite.
No he doesn't. That is a lie. He rails against fake news. And free speech does not mean you are free from criticism. By criticizing fake news, Trump is not limiting anyone's speech. To claim otherwise is a lie.
No he doesn't. He's never said that. He's never implemented a policy to do that. Baseless accusation.
