OK, how about what he says.
"And I want to just let you know: I am so behind you. And I know maybe sometimes you haven’t gotten the backing that you’ve wanted. And you’re going to get so much backing. Maybe you’re going to say: “Please don’t give us so much backing”. “Mr President, please, we don’t need that much backing.” "

Taking away human rights and making life harder for the less fortunate isn't something I'd call hilarious. Although to be fair, congress has/ will have something to do with it as well.

Nope. Trump running for, and becoming President, and the way that he's conducted himself throughout has been hilarious and entertaining. Has nothing to do with his decisions, which is something completely separate.

Well, he has signed an executive order making harder for first time buyers to afford a home. He has signed an executive order making abortions harder to get. Both affect the poor the most, and help hold the poor in their current situation. Beyond that, he's been one of the bestest presidents ever!

He also signed an executive order to start dismantling the ACA. Taking people's heathcare away.

Well he signed an executive order on the ACA which basicly can extend the hardship exemption to everyone meaning that their is no longer a mandate to purchase health insurance.
The executive order could also be interpreted to eliminate Obama requirements requiring that contraceptives be provided in all plans without a copayment
Without the mandate Health Insurance premiums will rise for anyone not insured by Medicaid or through their jobs. And costs for contraception went up for everyone so that will lead to additional pregnancies in lower income populations.
So yes on day 1 he has done that. It's impressive he was able to do it so quickly.

7 hrs ·Let's be clear. The repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is not an academic debate about health care policy. It is a life and death issue. If the ACA is repealed, researchers tell us that up to 43,000 Americans could die. This is horrific and beyond comprehension. The ACA must not be repealed without an adequate replacement.

Ah. There's the "hey there's two sides to every story" folks.

Redvan, not sure if it should change what you're trying to do here, but two posters have already played this role recently. I get what you're trying to do and I don't doubt you're more sincere in your goal but Trump really is what he is.
You're suggesting that maybe the other side isn't being represented in a fair way, but there really isn't any fair way to represent Trump's "side" without outright lying or defending insanity. Some things you can take at face value, and the crazy you see before in the white house is what it is.

Dude... Trump isn't mentally ######ed. Saying so merely displays your ignorance.
Trump is a con artist. His supporters are the mongs here.

Trumps own words are what people are reacting to. Not sure how you're expecting people to react when he's lying and making BS up on a daily basis. How any reasonable person could take him seriously is a better question.

I do think the media is continuing to fail at their coverage.
They should only ask policy related questions that specifically ask how it will affect average Americans. Informing people of the consequences of Trumps and Congresses actions is the only way to hold them to account.
The bickering over truth while it should be important isn't important with Trump. Maybe just run a fact check side bar. Or a CNN type scrawl at the bottom of the screen
