TRUMP Thread

The MOST embarrassing POTUS of at least the last 100 years.

 

Agreed.

 

Oh please, you think people didn't talk shit about Obama, that he didnt demand their loyalty, etc..your liberal MSM just protected him because they were afraid of the "backlash' if they weren't kissing his butt, lol.

 

Bliss, Fox never missed a chance to tear into President Obama, for any reason real or imagined. MSNBC, and other so called "liberal" MSM did in fact criticize President Obama on numerous occasions, per below is just one example.

 

Too bad the clamor for Trump's income taxes isn't as intense as it was for Obama's birth certificate.

 

I never realized before you were one of Trump hardcore 30% voter base.lol
I don't know anyone who defends the guy anymore and many conservatives acknowledge it was a mistake to vote for him into office.

Trump is catching fire from top level cabinet members within his own administration. That never happened under Obama.
No one within the Obama administration ever called him a 'moron'.

7 months in, Trump has already fired his National Security adviser, a U.S. attorney from NY, his top Middle East adviser for the National Security council, his deputy WH chief of staff, his FBI director, his chief of staff at the WH, two(!!) communications directors, his Office of Government Ethics director, his Press Secretary and top press aide, his chief political strategist and Deputy Assistant to the president and now his Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Trump is running the Oval Office like a reality TV show.
And now at a WH dinner tonight with some of the Pentagon's top generals and officers, Dotard made the ominous comment, "this could be the calm before the storm,' which many observers took to mean Trump plans to de-certify the Iran nuclear agreement with no alternative in place.

I don't have time to go over all the random crap that comes out of the man's mouth when he's tweeting from the WH bathroom, or the more vocal criticisms from legislators within his own party.

Nope, Trump is a total embarrassment.
What's scary is he's worse than that. Trumptard is lazy, incompetent, dispassionate to other people's suffering, an uncritical thinker, wholly ignorant about nearly all the institutions of the federal government, completely self centered, thin skinned, temperamental, petty, unethical and shortsighted.

Remember when Hillary haters said she was a war monger??
Watch Trump.

He's pushing us dangerously closer to a military confrontation with both Iran and North Korea.

The man can't get one piece of major legislation passed despite having control of both the House and Senate.

It's hard to be in office for less than 9 months and people are already saying you're worse than Dubya ever was.

That takes a special kind of demented talent only Dotard could master.

To paraphrase Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, "Whatever Donald. It's your deal."(moron.)lol

 

Not so fast, guys! There was...um...uh...er...shit, that name was on the tip of my tongue.

I guess y'all are right after all!

 

This is 100% true. Remember all those times that Obama took to social media to openly criticize and/or insult people who dared to say anything even remotely negative about him? And all those times he referred to negative stories as "fake news?"

He certainly did that kind of thing much more than Trump does, that's for sure.

 

I’m not claiming that President Obama (or any other) was an angel and/or totally innocent and such, but...

In terms of being a total embarrassment... 45 easily takes the cake. Even this latest thing with Puerto Rico... Goes to an island that’s reeling after being hit by a major hurricane, talks about their bad financial state and tosses rolls of paper towels out like they’re gifts. Who does shit like this. Only this dude can be that big of an asshole. He totally kissed up to TX and FL, and basically said drop dead to the folks of Puerto Rico.

 

Nixon?

 

Nixon was pretty bad and is generally considered to be one of the worst Presidents ever, but he was also an incredibly smart man in general. If not for Watergate he would have gone down as one of the better Presidents in history. He created the EPA, opened relations with China, signed Title IX into law, and ended the Vietnam War among other things.

 

?If that second pic is true we did well.

 

More embarrassing than Bush the younger?
I have no opinion really, just curious how America feels about the comparison.
To me they both just seem like absolute buffoons.
Republican party must really have a loyal base of support if those two can get themselves elected.

 

Oh, God yes. By leaps and bounds. I wasn't a fan of Bush but he was at least able to deal with criticism like an adult.

 

You just listed all the things that are now seen as strengths & virtues in Amerikkka.

 

Trump is the best thing that could have happened to Bush Jr's legacy. Trump has got liberals remembering George W. Bush's version presidency as the good old days.

In fact, Bush's post-presidency approval is at 59 percent, it was only 35 percent when he left office.

 

No comparison. Bush had his issues but he at least gave a decent enough impression. He was
Indeed buffoonish at times, but he never spewed the hate the was Trump does. I wasn’t a Bush fan and not a conservative but I’d take him back over what we have in a heartbeat.

 

People insulted Bush nonstop but he was too busy using his House and Senate majorities to pass legislation, not complain about, well...everything.

I'm sure that he had his days when he was absolutely pissed at the media in general for the way they covered him and his administration but he rarely, if ever said anything about it. He knew exactly which battles were worth fighting and which battles weren't worth his time. Trump is never, ever going to be able to come close to doing that.

 

Interesting. All we ever really heard about Bush over here was through the media, who pretty much portrayed him as a drooling imbecile who could barely string a sentence together.
The inference being that he was a puppet leader, with the strings being pulled behind the scenes by (most likely large corporate) powers unknown.
I was just a kid when he was elected though so maybe not entirely objective lol.

I definitely agree though that Trump is a hate-filled egomaniac who seems hell-bent on his own agenda.

I guess neither are really great choices for president, though Trump would seem to be more dangerous. A loose cannon, whereas at least Bush would probably be more stable.

Thanks for filling me in guys. It's really interesting hearing your views on this stuff.
