Trump claims ‘no politician in history’ has been ‘treated worse or more unfairly’
Trump claims ‘no politician in history’ has been ‘treated worse or more unfairly’

NEW LONDON, Conn. — President Trump offered a robust defense of his presidency Wednesday, arguing that he has been treated unfairly by the Washington media amid a series of deepening scandals that have engulfed his administration.
In a commencement ceremony at the Coast Guard Academy, Trump said “no politician in history . . . has been treated worse or more unfairly. You can’t let them get you down, can’t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams.”
Trump did not directly address news reports this week that he revealed highly classified information to Russian government officials and that he had asked then-FBI Director James B. Comey to end an investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. But the president was clearly eager to defend himself, using the second half of his commencement address to express his frustration in rhetoric just loosely cloaked as “advice” for the soon-to-be-commissioned officers .

“Over the course of your life, you’ll find things are not always fair,” he said. “Things happen to you that you do not deserve and are not always warranted, but you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight. Never, ever give up. Things will work out just fine.”
In an aside, he added: “I guess that’s why we won.” Then he returned to his remarks to add: “Adversity makes you stronger. Don’t give in, don’t back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing ever, ever came easy.”

Escaping Washington for the day trip, Trump appeared buoyed as he drew hearty applause throughout his remarks from the crowd of family and friends of the graduates attending the outdoor ceremony on a brilliantly sunny day at the Coast Guard stadium.
He defended his record, saying he had “accomplished a tremendous amount in very short time as president.” He listed as accomplishments the appointment of Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, new funding for the military, and a decrease in border crossings by illegal immigrants. He also touted the health-care legislation that passed the House and promised to tackle tax reform.
“The people understand what I’m doing and that’s the most important thing,” Trump said. “I did not get elected to serve the Washington media or special interests. I was elected to serve the forgotten men and women in our country and that’s what I’m doing.”
“I will never stop fighting for the American people,” Trump said.
Wrapping up his remarks, the embattled president appeared to end on a note of frustration. “Enjoy your life,” he told the crowd.
He received a standing ovation when he finished speaking.
The president arrived at Joint Base Andrews with a clutch of aides, including Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, for the short flight on Air Force One. He boarded quickly, eschewing the customary presidential wave as he ducked into the cabin.
As Trump flew north, in-flight television feeds in the press quarters were tuned to the House Republican leaders holding a news conference on Capitol Hill, which was dominated by questions about Trump’s conduct and the political fallout.
“People turn on the TV and they think this is all that’s happening, all we’re doing,” Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said. “That’s just not the case.”
Reporters could not see clearly to the front of the plane, where the staff was seated, but an open door provided glimpses of a screen mounted on a wall. The TV, which had previously been showing ESPN, had been switched to Fox News.

They don't want Trump in the White House and are willing to do and say anything to make it hard for him. He is actually making the people we elected look pretty lazy and stupid. This is Pssin them off more than anything. Trump questions them and they are ust to doing things their own way. Washington has become one big Click and Trump just don't fit in. But this is what the American people elected him. We all needed a change and now we have to get rid of the career politicians that are holding Trump up. Don't forget how our career and professional politicians make all their money from lobbyist, The elite and most support NWO. Trump has to fight them all, Trump knows it and we know it. Washington hopes he will give up at some point. Remember Trump does not like to lose.

They also have a lot to hide so keeping him on the defensive they think will stop him from finding out all of the criminal deeds against the American citizens that the Obama administration covered up. I got news for them it will not.
Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....
