Right Geffers, Retro takes a deep breath, here goes...
What video is that? I've never heard of it. Do you have a link, perhaps? Trump is 77, so it's a video about him when he was just 7? That's just a little kid who obviously hasn't had a chance to do anything, good or bad. I'd really love to see it.
Re the insurrection deaths, I linked to that Times article which explains it all much better than I can. I also saw documentaries about all this and yes, the insurrection that Trump fomented was
directly responsible for those deaths, some of which happened on the day and some afterwards and hence he's responsible for them, as the ring leader. I'm not gonna spend lots of time proving it all point by point, the facts are there if you want to look. No one in the mainstream media has said 10 deaths btw, 7 I think it was.
All those half truths and lies that you describe are what Trump does all the time, not the media. There's no media conspiracy either, he's on video saying those outrageous things, with many it's just obvious without any further research as those claims are so ridiculous. For example, when he first got into power he said climate change / global warming is a hoax and went on about it - I saw a video clip of it just the other day on that three part climate change documentary I linked to. What a massive lie he's told. I post enough in the climate change thread about CL for someone to have to live under a rock not to realise this by now, hence he's clearly lied.
Another one, it was widely reported some time back that he made some dodgy claim on a UK radio station in the morning, I think it was. That's a public transmission that was recorded. That
very afternoon of the same day, he denied ever having said it! He totally embarrassed himself with this contradiction, literally outing himself, losing all credibility in the process. How can anyone trust anything he says after that? The man is a pathological liar.
Trump's alleged wage donation. I did say that was my own opinion that it's a possibility given what I know about how shady he is and that I have no evidence of him doing it. It's a reasonable line to take and if he was being investigated for it, so would a detective.
We can trust the media more than you realise. Are they perfect? No, but then nothing is. A few telltales and the odd check from the people being written about are all one needs to see that the media isn't lying. There will be videos, audio, letters etc backing up those stories about them, including Trump. It's Trump constant lies trying to cast doubts on the media who are actually reporting accurately about him.

will be upon us with a vengeance if Trump gets back into power. There's shades of it everywhere of course and has been for years, long before Trump, with all the surveillance going on, especially in autocratic countries like Russia and China, but that's the unfortunate world we live in. We absolutely must not invite more of it with the likes of Trump.
Oh and he's no friend of Ukraine. He'd most likely hand them on a plate to Putin if he got into power, as I explained in a previous post and he refuses to criticise Putin to this very day. That's obviously a Very Bad Thing. Why do you want a president like this?
CNN don't "hate" Trump. They don't have much respect for him though given his level of corruption and blatant lies, that's clear to see and is quite reasonable. Media outlets don't have to ape the BBC with this faux impartial presentation that their journalists and presenters are forced into. It can really grate sometimes when they're not allowed to say the obvious, perhaps ignoring the elephant in the room all in the name of "impartiality".
No, that CNN article is accurate and I headed off your assertion of a hit piece since I knew you were going to say that, as it has lots of links to information backing up what they're saying, as I said and is why I linked to it. So no, you can't claim it's a hit piece. I can't stop you believing it is, but you're mistaken.
I seem to remember that Hillary Clinton used that word, which is a bit stupid, granted. Again, people are just human and will put their foot in it sometimes, regardless of politics.
Over the last couple of days, I've been reading articles that he's likely to be indicted for that insurrection and that this will likely have the most severe consequence for him out of all the court cases going against him now when he's found guilty.
The former US president is accused of a broad conspiracy lasting months.

Finally, take a step back and think about how Trump talks and behaves, especially all the time blaming others and claiming everyone's out to get him. Doesn't the whole behavioural package strike you as a narcissistic cult leader? A con man? A shady car salesman? All those court cases - there's no smoke without fire. Seriously, take a step back and look at him dispassionately and objectively and you might just see him in a different light.
