(1) To discredit Donald Trump, and, (2) To cover up the real scandals in the Democratic camp, many that are criminal and treasonous in nature.<\/p>\n<p>As the establishment news media continues to disseminate \u201c<strong>fake news<\/strong>\u201d as its means of opposing Trump and hiding self-evident truths, it&#8217;s always refreshing to have <strong>Salim Mansur<\/strong> join us for a real news update.  U.S. President Donald Trump has already accomplished more during his first year in office than most presidents accomplish within their entire mandates, notes Salim. <\/p>\n<p>For example, it took Donald Trump to finally execute America\u2019s long-standing policy of recognizing <strong>Jerusalem <\/strong>as Israel\u2019s legitimate capital city.  It took Donald Trump to decisively <strong>defeat ISIS<\/strong>, the terrorist group that was aided and abetted by the policies of the previous American administration.  It took Donald Trump to enact the always-promised-but-never-delivered <strong>tax-cuts<\/strong> for Americans.  It took Donald Trump to <strong>deregulate <\/strong>America beyond anyone\u2019s wildest expectations.  Under Donald Trump, the American <strong>economy <\/strong>is once again booming as it has not done in decades. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has not only put America first; he is also advising other nations to do the same by encouraging them to similarly act in their own best interests. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Under Trump\u2019s \u201c<strong>principled realism<\/strong>,\u201d the U.S. president is also re-shaping the direction of world affairs, and part of that re-alignment includes reforms and changes being made at the <strong>United Nations<\/strong>. Under Trump, America\u2019s foreign policy is no longer foreign to reason.<\/p>\n<p>If this is all \u201cnews\u201d to you, then ask yourself why. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s all the \u201cfake news\u201d \u2013 but of a type rarely discussed.  After all, it is quite natural to assume \u201cfake news\u201d relates to some statement of fact that proves not true (i.e., does not correspond to reality or reason).  But what about the real and significant news stories that, by conscious intent, never get reported?<\/p>\n<p>By answering that question, we may discover that \u201c<strong>No News Is Fake News<\/strong>,\u201d and thus come closer to an explanation of the \u201cfake news\u201d phenomenon that is Just Right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3\"><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/537-topics\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/537-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9017\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-8034-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3\">\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/justrightmedia.org\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=8034-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 59:42 &#8212; 68.5MB) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('8034-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_8034-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_8034-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;30&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/justrightmedia.org\/blog\/?powerpress_embed=8034-podcast&amp;amp;powerpress_player=mediaelement-audio&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><p>\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/BROADCASTS\/20180104-justRIGHT-537-GUEST-SalimMansur-RetrospectiveOnDonaldTrumpsFirstYear.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 59:42 &#8212; 68.5MB) | Embed Still suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome, North America\u2019s \u201cestablishment\u201d media during 2017 continued to misrepresent the president at every opportunity.
