So what is fake faith? The media responses or the vets responses?
The media's USE of the vets' responses.
To the media honestly reporting what the veterans tweeted is fake?
Surely you don't mean that, Shirley?

Re: SOTUS use of Navy Seal ...
Oh brother. why are their tweets news?
And we can ask, ALL vets, SOME vets, how MANY vets? Again, why is their reaction news? Clearly because they are critical of Trump. Also, if tweets are arranged these days so that the negative ones of Trump come to the top, how do you know how many vets are even represented?
Did the media try to find out how many are represented?
'
But again, what makes it news? Just the negative opinion that has been collected, nothing else. And there's no way to tell how true it is of vets in general.
Why do you accept this sort of fake news as meaning anything at all?

They aren't. Twitter's algorithm doesn't deliberately put negative tweets of Trump on top. It's all based on the number of likes, re-tweets, etc., so if a pro-Trump tweet got a ton of re-tweets, then it'd go on top too.

It's possible to manipulate it and it has been claimed that it is manipulated to discredit Trump.

Again... nobody needs to manipulate anything to discredit Trump. Trump's own words discredit Trump.

Re: SOTUS use of Navy Seal ...
So now a "leftist" is anyone who doesn't worship Trump.
Trump has said plenty that ought to discredit him in the mind of any objective person.

Do you know that {control}+ increases font size and {control}- decreases the font size. The pages usually adjust to stay as wide as the screen or just use the slide bar at the bottom to go back and forth.

The tweets are public Faith. And the tweets were replies to tweets about ....Trump.

Faith, it reflects the beliefs of the people who posted the tweets.
Trumps tweets though are very often factually wrong. Not a matter of what he might believe but rather factually wrong.
That is valuable news. The fact that we have a President who is very often factually wrong is something important to know.

Re: SOTUS use of Navy Seal
When Trump calls the media "dishonest" for not repeating things he wishes to be true, he discredits himself. When Trump has to trash people on Twitter just for saying or doing things he objects to he discredits himself. When Trump talks about grabbing women "by the pussy" he discredits himself. When Trump makes false boasts he discredits himself.
Anyone who can't see that is a ridiculously biased Trump partisan.

Re: it's hard to walk with only right feet ...
Infowars doesn't consider itself to be on the right. They would consider me to be on the right but themselves to be libertarian or "classical liberals."
Libertarian is not liberal.
Whatever they consider themselves, the evidence clearly shows they are an ultra-right-wing fake news and conspiracy theory site.

Re: deportations
If the President gives the orders that's either Trump or Obama.
Or George W or Bill Clinton or ...
However, you still don't get it. You didn't know that Trump had given the orders, so you assumed Obama had and posted several messages excoriating him for it. It never occurred to you that Trump may have given the order and you didn't know about.it. Instead you mounted your high horse and rode around ignoring all the messages correcting you until one finally got through.
You accuse us of assuming too much all the time. Have you learned form this incident that you should not make claims based solely on your assumptions? Well, have you?

Re: fake news and more fake news
My impression has always been that Obama was/is coddled by the MSM
You assume again. Your impression is wrong. Try basing your opinions on facts.
However, your original question was "Did Obama have to put up with this kind of stuff?" and the answer is yes, much more than Trump, from the MSM and the loonies.
