Distrust of Trump, Clinton, and the Media

Trump hasn't donated to his own charity since 2008 and mostly before that.  As some point about 2003 Trump got tired of using his own money for the foundation.  Apparently there three documented infractions beyond question.  One was to commission a life sized portrate of himself.  Another was to buy a rare football helmet with a lot of famous signitures on it.  The third was a campaign donation to a State's Attorney General to ward off a prosecution.  I'm sure there are a lot more.  All sorts of things have been alleged.  The buzz about Trump is that he's stingy and doesn't do any charatable giving.  

One story that really ticked me off and made me want to never vote for Trump even if the rest of his record was clean as a whistle.  It involved the son of Fred Trump, Trump's own brother who was deceased.  But his children had financial troubles and needed the money.  One of their sons was deathly ill of some disease and needed medical procedures to keep him alive.  The widdow of Fred Trump Junior sued in court and when Donald Trump heard about this he arranged that Fred Trump's widdow's medical insurance be cut off so that the kid was in danger of dying.  Personally I hate this kind of intre-family vengeance.  It's really low and under-handed and goes to speak about his character in general.  It makes it harder to forget about all the other employees and clients and whatever that Trump hasn't dealt with fairly in the past.

The following goes to the American public's growing and disheartening distrust of the main stream media, which is better known now as the lame-stream media, though Rush likes to call them the "drive-by media".  The analogy escapes me.  Someone needs to explain it.  At the end of the day, I have concluded that my focus on Hillary as of late (vs. Trump) has as much to with my disgust for the mainstream media as anything else. To see these organs, which have destroyed this country by keeping the people uninformed for decades, now rally around a sickly, corrupt, oligarch coddling politician as the empire enters the collapse stage is simply too much to stomach…  The only positive thing to happen during this election season is the death of mainstream media. With their insufferable propaganda fully exposed, there is no coming back.

Then today, we learned the following from Gallup:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year.  The article then goes on to present a chart illustrating this pervasive drop.

People don't trust either the media or the Clinton campaign when it comes to Hillary's health.  Apparently there was a period in August for two weeks when Hillary did not campaign.  Of course Hillary went for months not feeling "up to" having a press conference.  The Clinton campaign only admitted she had pnumonia perhaps to stave off worse allegations that Hillary might be something more dangerous medically such as an ongoing stroke or something.  It could be nothing.  Trump is no better.  Everyone agrees his doctor's report was a joke written in five minutes while he was waiting for a cab or something.  Nobody believes that Trump has a blood pressure reading of 110 over 65.  That would be low.  Even when I was in the hospital before I came here (deprived of coffee and cigarettes and alcohol) my blood pressure was not that low.  Others have charged today that Trump is taking Adderol in alarming amounts and that this drug "burns out your brain" and inferfears with mental and judgemental processes.  It's not as if the American people are hyper paranoid or anything.  It's just as John Lennon said "Just give us the Truth".  The Truth will set you free.  The Bible says that.
