Not the same at all. Reagan was never specifically charged with committing a crime, but Nixon was and it shook the nation. People lost faith in government afterwards and the mood of the country changed for years after that. Trump is being compared to Nixon and Watergate. Trump is actually considered worst because he's in alliance with an American enemy, Russia.
Serously? That goes both ways. The Democrats had no problem kissing the a@@ of their jackass! And all last year they turned a blind eye to the crimes of their jenny. They still do.
What was your point that I missed? With all due respect, I'd like to know. I was in a cranky mood when I replied to you. I meant no personal disrespect, sorry. But there is enough hypocrisy to go around on both sides.
Even though I voted for Trump, I have no illusions that he is a flawed man. But aren't we all flawed? However, no one on the left ever seemed to have a problem with Obama's friendship with Bill Ayers, a Weather Underground terrorist group whose actions led to many deaths. That alone was suspicious in my book.
If some of your heroes' dubious friendships and actions are okay, why does Pres. Trump bother you so much?
The times that the Republicans took office did not destroy my world. When Reagan, or the Bushes took office, I had no doubt they could be a leader of this country. My issue is not that Trump is Republican or his policies. My issues is his character and total lack of professionalism. This is arguably the best country in the world and the leader should represent it in that fashion. Obama, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Reagan and Carter all had one thing in common: They had dignity and professionalism. They carried the title of President with respect. This fool does not respect the office. He didn't want to be president. His ego did.
It's the president's job to keep the country united as a whole, no matter who he likes or dislike. Your personal concerns are not as important as those of the people. #45 doesn't understand this. He has belittled everyone who is not a white republican male. He as bashed black people for kneeling and has said we need stronger laws for "certain crimes", he has called Mexicans murderers and rapist (because they're the only ones that do that?) and wants to build a wall to keep them out, he says we need stronger immigration laws to keep foreigners out, and he CONTINUOUSLY disrespects women, yet he's defended Nazis, Putin, rules of The Confederacy, called a white christian terrorist a "unstable loner", and supported an accused child molesters.
All of that points to bigotry and racism. He is a complete embarrassment to this country. One year later can you honestly tell me his presidency has not been tumultuous for the entire year? How many people has he fired? Is there anyone still around besides Pence that was there in the beginning? He has displayed nothing but reprehensible conduct to those around him. Instead of always lashing out at people, he should find a way to make it all work.
(CONTINUED)
Even before the election, he showed a character that was unbecoming of a man running for president, but republican didn’t care about his character and that doesn’t say much for republicans. The vote for the party was more important than a man with no morals. Even after elected, some republican still like him. What does that say about republicans.
I bring up Obama because he was the president before #45 and he was charming and articulate. I never claimed to be a Obama fan, but I respect him (and those before him). He didn’t get on the podium and make fun of people. Had he acted like trump does BEFORE an election, theres ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would’ve voted for him. Character is more important than party. And had he acted like Trump, Republicans would’ve ripped him to pieces. Is the party more important than the man to you? You gonna tell me you like Trump? His character? His morals? He’s a pig. A extremely worthless little man.
So Obama was "charming and articulate"? Well...with a teleprompter. With all due respect, I don't think our Founding fathers held "charm" as one of the top requirements for the job.
Obama didn't "make fun of people"? We must have been watching different speeches then. I heard enough of his snotty, snarky putdowns to put him right up there with my ex-husband who was verbally abusive.
The democrats care about "character"? Then could you please explain their adoration of Hillary Clinton to me? LOL
And, getting back to character, the Democrats had no problem with the "character" of their candidate Obama'a choice of pals, ya know, like the terrorist Bill Ayers!
To be fair, I have heard your argument a lot from others, i.e., that Trump only likes white Republican males. I am female and I don't feel "unliked". In fact I love it when he opens his big mouth and tells people (the obnoxious press in particular) exactly what he is thinking! It is refreshing to have a President who isn't a phony suck up. Everyone that I know loves his candor.
Do you live in New York or L.A. or some other enclave of left wing thinking? Those little groups seem to think everyone thinks the way they do. Well surprise, we don't!
And as far as it's the President's "job" to keep the country unites as a whole. Where the h#ll did you read that in the Constitution?
Obama brought up racial issues every chance he got. Hillary Clinton called half the country a "basket of deplorables". Waaaay to go on that "uniter" thing.
I never thought much about Trump before. But when I see how he is driving the left insane because he has the guts to stand up for America, I am starting to love him. He is a President for the people, not an a## kisser of the left wing media, the United Nations or the Muslims.
"He's a pig"? Well I'm guessing you really didn't like Bill Clinton then either!
I put Obama's "charm right up there with a used car salesman's.
You sound mad. Angry. Sorta like a typical Trump supporter. Yeah, you simply don't get it. Maybe Trump is not grabbing your p***y hard enough? But if you support someone like Trump, I'm not surprised. And people like you are not worth the effort.
Mad, angry?... uh so what? Were YOU upset when angry Madonna threatened to blow up the White House or mad Ashley Judd did her moronic speech at the "pussy" rally?
Grabbing my p$#@#? LOL Typical of all you leftards who have absolutely no coherent comeback or a winning argument. I notice that you had nothing intelligent to say in defense of your heroes with all their "character". People like YOU are actually too dumb to be worth the effort!
Is it okay with you when angry lefties riot and start fires just because Milo Yiannopoulis is invited to speak on campus? Free speech? YAY for that !!!! But only when the lefties on campus agree with it!
YOU SOUND like a typical lefty hypocrite! But I am used to your kind. I remember in 1994 in the midterm elections when Democrats got voted out and Republicans voted in.
According to one of those leftwing "sages", Peter Jennings, "the people threw a temper tantrum".
So yeah, I know how that goes. The lefties are all the voice of "reason". Anyone who disagrees with them is mad and angry. Unlike all of Hillary's supporters who rioted and had meltdowns when their queen lost.
Have a Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you a few I.Q. points or at least a little common sense.
Oh, my. How could anyone in their right mind vote for such a vile man. I’ve voted Republican my whole life, and decided not to vote this election. From the start, Trump displayed immoral traits of someone not becoming of a leader. He didn’t want to be president. His ego did. He’s selfish and disrespects everyone and anyone. Since he’s been elected, he hasn’t slowed down. He talks like a immature 3yr old, and fights back at anyone who says something that upsets his fragile mental state of mind. From day 1, when you’re president, you will be criticized…..always. It comes with the job.
As president, it’s his job to unite the people. Not constantly divide it. The easy way out for him is to spend millions of tax dollars golfing and tweeting. How many people have come and gone in the White House since his Inauguration. No inconsistently or stability. Even his wife looks miserable to be around such a man. And speaking of women, you are clear that he has no respect for you. He thinks we’re objects. My brother lives in Europe and he says they laugh at America constantly now. This is the worst presidency in my life time. More drama in 1yr that some presidents that have served 2 terms. Absolute turmoil every time I turn on the news.
Ironically, I was never any big admirer of his. I knew he was a very successful businessman and a self promoter. There were other candidates I preferred.
But I saw the way the political wind was blowing. He was the only one who stood a chance to beat the corrupt Clinton machine. From her days as First Lady I grew to loather her. Just the thought of that vile creature being POTUS made my blood run cold.
His ego? And you DON'T think you need a big ego to run for President?? lol You don't think Obama has a big ego? He went on a self promoting "remember my great legacy" tour the day after he left office.
How do you know Melania Trump is miserable? Are you a mind reader? Hillary was pretty miserable with Bill. She stuck it out to ride that gravy train to the White House. Ever hear the stories of her screaming and throwing things at him during the whole Monica fiasco?
I have read accounts of her horrible treatment of staff, Secret Service, etc. She swears and curses and disrespects most people who work for her. The only people she treats nice are those foreign leaders who filler her coffers with cash.
With all due respect to Europe, I couldn't care less about their opinion of us. If some natural disaster hit or someone declared war on them, we'd be the first country they ran to.
No room to go into all the details, but for many reasons I think a lot of their leadership for decades has been a joke.
"Millions of dollars" golfing? Now are you talking Trump or Obama? If you didn't vote, I respect your choice. But you hardly sound like a Republican. The "worst" president in your lifetime? You must've been in a coma the previous eight years.
Like I said, Trump was never a favorite of mine. But since he managed to keep that vile, thieving Hillary OUT of the White House, I'm happy. Talk about "not respecting women", Are you not familiar with HER treatment of Bill's girlfriends? Yikes!
