Even if there wasn't a black cloud, the media would try to create one. They did that to W. Bush also. They have been doing it to Trump ever since he entered the Presidential race.
This. Remember that everyone, especially in the liberal bubble, thought that Trump would be the easiest of the 17 R's, that entered the Presidential race, for Hillary to beat.
Then he actually won. We've all witnessed the absolute meltdown of the left. Especially from the MSM. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of videos of them just losing their *expletive deleted*it on election day and after. They have been bound and determined since 9 Nov 2016 to bring down the Pretender Trump, and install the rightful President Hillary "It's MY Turn" Cllinton on the throne.
He has had a bullseye on his back since them. As someone posted on FB, if Trump slightly stumbled and spilled some of morning beverage on the White House Carpet. The MSM would be screaming for a Special Counsel to investigate "The Covfefe Incident". Luis Gutierrez (D- Chicago's Hispanic Neighborhoods). is going to file Articles of Impeachment after the of the year. Trump's alleged crimes ?? Being a poopy head.
They are screaming the loudest just so they seem to be "larger" then they actually are. Their goal is to cripple Trump, like they did to Bush, so that the legislation which his supporters want, will be DOA. If the R's would grow a backbone, like Trump has, and stop trying to being liked by the "cool kids" of the MSM, and just say damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead, they could have a solid majority for years to come. But they are willing to fold like a cheap suit and are going to be wondering why they got shellacked in 2018.
