All sorts of places but when I read something I actually use critical thinking to examine something and say to myself, "OK, I like this story because it supports my worldview or is harmful to someone I don't like politically / I don't like it.... but does it actually ring true and make sense."  If it passes that smell test then I then ask whether the author has some axe to grind or has a history of being overly negative or adverse to the subject so they can't be trusted.  Are there other stories or views that counter this author's spin and do they make sense?  

It's all about critical thinking as opposed to mindlessly quoting some stupid article that was written by an author that is either clueless, has an axe to grind (Never Trumper) or a bit of both.  So give that a try and maybe you wouldn't be so quick to cut and paste something just because it feeds your TDS beast.  This one didn't pass the first test for reasons stated previously.  

There are lots of articles I've read that were critical of Trump that passed all tests and it confirms something I already knew about him. He is not perfect, he has certain issues that concern, bother and annoy me........you know, pretty much like every politician.  But at the end of the day he isnn't Hillary and that is a real blessing.....at least for me.  I get it that you feel the opposite and understand that.  But try to find substantive issues to pillory him with and you will be more credible.  For example, had you shared an article critical of the Trump administration for their slowness is adding staff and nominating lower court judges I would agree wholeheartedly.  But this kind of crap about paying his golf course to host a charity event is petty and immaterial to the real issues we face, not to mention just plain dumb.
