The potus says, "I know more than anyone", I'd like to believe he has all the answers but he doesn't, and FACTS prove that. My biggest concern, that the media is not trusted, some good, some with their own bias, but we need an unbiased judge to keep ALL OF US straight

We all have bias but most refuse to see it.
Re: walking in the other persons shoes, you can claim it but you cannot do it. There was that book Black like me.
The author CLAIMED he experienced being black. That simply was not the case because he could take the make up off and he was never a black kid etc. NO I AM NOT BLACK. A far more interesting book that was never as widely read is South of Freedom written by a black WWII vet who went to college under the GI bill.
Re: your claim not to have any bias
In this ONE PARAGRAPH it is clear you have an anti-Trump bias.
I freely confess that I have an anti-progressive bias. I've been poor. I worked my butt off for everything I have. In my peak earning years I paid 56% of my last earned dollars in taxes. That progressive GIMMMMEEEEEE attitude really drives me nuts. GET A JOB AND EARN IT. I've mowed lawns, washed dishes etc to pay for my college degree.
How dare the progressives think I should pay for their college education. Don't tell me is costs so much more today. That is inflation. Everything costs more today and people also get paid more.
Life is tough. Success is what you do with the cards you are dealt. FOR ME, FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION OR A CHOICE I WAS WILLING TO CONSIDER.
