    They report on the supporters rather than the issue to avoid admitting that nobody wants the pipeline.

    People should be concerned with the allegations. The implications alone reaching much further than Hillary's email-gate...

    The so-called president presented alternative facts. There was a terrorist attack in Atlanta, and it was such a good cover up and nobody reported it. He can't explain how he knows about it. But he knows more than the generals, as you know. 
     
    You can't follow their reasoning because there isn't any to follow.

    She was reading a document from the Civil Rights era when she was reprimanded. It explains why they want Jeff Sessions as AG and why they want to suppress any truth about his past.

    The "Will of the People" is something that can be argued to represent an actual majority of the people (a true Democracy), or can be obtained through representatives (A Republic). So it would depend on how you define the term.
     
    The "Will of the People" decided Trump based on our Republican system of government. People voted in their specific areas and "representatives" ultimately voted for him.
     
    The "Will of the People", democratically, is against Trump by several million. We keep track of both (Representative/Democratic tallies) even though only the first one really matters politically/legally. The fact that we follow both suggests that, at least in the past, we have found looking at the total "popular vote" as being something helpful. I feel like in past Presidencies it is the popular vote that forms the basis of the idea that a President has a "mandate" from the people; when a large majority vote for him(her, in the future). Until this election I don't think anyone has ever argued that the electoral college gives someone a "mandate" from the people. It gives them the legal requirement to be elected President, but our country still values its Democratic ideals and from that standpoint the current "so called" President does not have the "Will of the People"

    He is not following advice from anyone. He lied and said his taxes were being audited. He told the American people he would release his tax returns if he was elected, and lied again.

    THE FACT CHECKER | Trump cites an Internal Revenue Service audit as his justification for not releasing his federal income tax returns, butt the audit does not prohibit from releasing the returns. Richard Nixon, who started the tradition of presidents and presidential candidates releasing their returns, did so in the middle of an audit.
    Moreover, Trump has not released his tax returns from before 2009, which are no longer under audit, according to his attorney.

    Good argument, except at the conclusion. When you look closer, Trump being elected by the college, was similar to the Falcons being given the win because the referee thought they played better. Tump was not elected by the majority of the American people. He was elected by the majority of the electoral college, in a result that is not representative of the will of the majority of the people.  He lost the popular vote by a whooping 2.9 million votes. This last election was one where the will of the people was not satisfied.

    He won't release the tax records. There's incriminating evidence contained in those documents, possibly linking him to his master Putin. The Russians wouldn't have elected him if they didn't have enough to hold him under their grip.
