Why Trump is Constantly and Easily Misled by Fake News

[leibowde84]

You just said yourself that you don't understand it. Maybe, because it is incomprehensible BS, which is the beauty of it. Nobody can comprehend it so everybody takes their word for it.

The math is beyond me (I am not that great with numbers). But, it can easily be understood if you just take the time to research what it means. It is in no way BS. If you don't understand it, I would assume it is because you haven't taken the time to try to learn what it means.

If this were true why hasn't the troposphere heated up?

The troposphere is heating up. There was a myth that it wasn't due to errors in how satellites were measuring temperatures. But, when they were corrected, warming trends matched what climate scientists predicted.

I find pictures and graphs are easier for some to understand.

Sorry for buying into the thread hijacking. "there's none so blind as those who will not see"

I would put the fault on the person who slipped false information to the President.

Absolutely not. It is not that they have no culpability. They certainly do.
I wonder what happened to McFarland?

But the bottom line is President Trump. It is his competence that matters the most. It is not that I thought he'd build a Wall. Or that his opponent was a saint. It's that I thought him incompetent for the job. He is demonstrating that daily.
That's what this thread is about.

The President actually has a team that assembles news for him to review each day. If they feed him fake news, it is a little on them. That said, he hire the morons in the first place. If only there were some way to get him to say "You're fired!".......

He has a tendency to accept anything that is favorable to him as gospel truth and dismisses anything critical as "fake news". And, if they brought him any news stories that were actually critical of anything he's done, I'm sure he would fire them, claiming that they weren't loyal. So, I kind of feel for them a bit. He's just unreasonable. And, he has a true animosity for the truth.

To give you the benefit of the doubt I tried to find at least one more story to collaborate your example. I could not, maybe you would have better luck. However, I did find this:

Do you have any sources that are from a scientific source rather than a conservative media outlet?

Here is another that confirms that the troposphere is getting warmer:

Trump has a habit of telling people he’s smart. The smartest people I’ve known never tell you how smart they are. In fact, it’s the opposite, as they’re more than willing to tell you about the things they’re ignorant of. If my criteria for identifying smart people is accurate, then it’s safe to say that Donald J. Trump is, by far, the dumbest President of the United States in history.

 

[Iti oj]

No, it wasn't. It's pure speculation based on dubious models. The news media see the inane hysteria as a cash cow.

Except it gets little coverage .

I would put the fault on the person who slipped false information to the President. Obviously the news makes up all sorts of lies such as global warming, another Ice age is just an example of that. Difference is which is the official lie. They don't know what the weather will do past 10 days...

When you say "lies such as global warning," it may turn out that you are the one doing the lying. You have demonstrated repeatedly and continuously a distressing lack of any knowledge of actual science, along with an even more distressing willingness to pronounce upon it.

The lie deliberate is no worse, in its effect, than the lie ignorant.

There's no difficulty finding something, somewhere, to support any viewpoint you'd like. But The American Spectator was a decidedly biased conservative organ, that has long since died.

If you really have a case to make, try finding some real science back-up -- you know, the type done by people in labs with science degrees and doing research. Of course, that won't be quite so easy, since something like 97% of those with science backgrounds in the relevant areas are in agreement -- humans are causing climate change.

Correct. There is no shortage of conservative denial commentary. What there is a severe lack of, however, is evidence to support these claims.

The real wonder -- and this actually fits within the context of the thread -- is why so many are so blind to that single, obvious fact.

Trump gets het up over "fake news" because he doesn't check whether or not it is actually true or false. Too many deniers of climate change (or evolution) do the same -- they can always find somebody, somewhere, of whatever dubious credentials, to support their case. They just can't make any sort of case for why anyone would actually pay to attention to something coming from such dubious sources in the first place ----------

-------- except that they support the desired position. And that is the surest way possible to remain forever misinformed.

This coming from the guy who believes that 9/11 was orchestrated by Jews, Freemasons, and the papacy, who together form The Illuminati, sooo..... yeah.
