Mainstream media that you are part of. First of all, there is a bias against republicans in general, with reagan he was portrayed as stupid or dangerous, both same thing with trump, hes been dangerous according to the media. They cannot bear down to that. If they did they would be ostracized by their colleagues. I know for example from people within the White House Correspondent that among themselves they laugh and mock him, that is the overriding thing. Many people cannot think independently.

Neil john, one one of the thins that im hearing to daniels point, not just 48 to 50,000gm striking workers impacting this but up to 200,000 more in ancillary business suppliers and the rest.
