Sure they do, It would be good for their ratings.
It would also give them something else to talk about until the next school shooting, or the next Celebrity Suicide.

Kake News are like grade school bullies, they act like they want a fight right up to last minute, but when you've had enough and ready to bring the fight to them, they want no part of it...surprise, just kidding, pardon me whilst I find my mommy. Kenny Rogers used to sing this song about "sometimes you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em". Kake News should give it a listen.

Absolutely not. This is just Trump fake news to try and deflect what just happened in Helsinki. The reason that he met with Putin behind closed doors was to get their stories straight (collude with Putin). Otherwise why would do this without telling his top advisers?
This is all about the Mueller investigation. He's gaming everyone (except his buddy Putin). The two them go way back. The liberal press is the last ones who'd want war. Now Fox News, that would be another story.

I believe you just described trump...can't fire people face to face (Unless it is a scripted tv show) and can only claim any Russian involvement but after the face to face with Putin. Trump is a coward and his whole act is a façade....

Think about it, do you honestly believe anyone who runs for President of the United States could be a coward? I may not have liked our last President, I might have even thought of him as a coward at times, but I do not think it is the case in the final analysis. Which is not to say everyone can be fearful at times, but it does not mean that it defines the person, and I think it requires a high degree of courage to be in a President's shoes, to have to wake up day after day to the responsibility and weight of being the leader of a country, and not just any country, just the most powerful country in the world. Cowards run and hide from their critics from their oppressors, and I see no such thing going on.

True, he doesn't run and hide he simply lies when he is caught in one, which is about daily, and then demonizes anyone who questions him. The media is the "enemy of the people" because they call him out on his obvious falsehoods. Of course he is well aware, think shooting someone on 5th Ave., that his worshippers could care less about facts or any semblance of truth.

And he is a coward because he doesn't have the courage to fire people face to face but often hides behind twitter. He tried to back track on his press conference in Helsinki when he had the opportunity to confront Putin...but he waits until far away to sheepishly say oops I meant wouldn't. Time and again his "tough" rhetoric is replaced when a one on one is involved...he's a coward.

I actually know a true blue full blown narcissist, and as egotistical as Donald Trump is, I do not think he can be said to be a narcissist, although there are various forms and degrees of it. It really is human nature to be self-centered to an extent, certainly with instincts of self-preservation. That said, if being focused on America and putting Americans first is narcissism, then it appears half of the country is composed of narcissists because at least half of the country would agree with the notion of putting America first which makes sense when you live in America and have self-preservation in mind, not only for yourself, but for your family and future generations.

A little narcissism is a good thing.

Maybe we should have had a narcissist in office way before now.
But then again isn't anyone who has run for office a narcissist?

No, there is a distinct difference between confidence and narcissism. Can you recall a president who constantly bragged about himself, see post #14 and demonstrate similar statements from other presidents?

Peanuts compared to the amount of context those one liners are ripped from. It's like quoting "Jesus wept" and calling that the Gospel. Or quoting his "I AM" statements and calling Him a narcissist. Give me a break. All politicians brag and boast in themselves and their accomplishments. Every election campaign speech by any and every candidate is indeed about reasons why people should vote for THEM, yes it's about THEM. So what exactly is your point?
