last night a friend reminded me of Trump making fun of that handicapped reporter and it got me thinking about what acting like a president means.

In my lifetime, the track record is actually pretty horrible.

Clinton - Bold faced lie to the American public about his adultery

Bush - too many to pick 1

Obama - clean in my eyes (on the surface) until last week

Trump - many

Biden - Senile old man

Obama really lost a lot of respect in my eyes after perpetrating the "very fine people" lie. He was the gold standard for presidential behavior.

The most Presidential thing I've seen in my lifetime is Trump standing up after getting shot and chanting Fight. Unscripted and raw. We get very few moments like that these days

They have all been horrible since the 80's

They all sold America to overseas but everyone is worried who the politicians hang out with

Just my opinion: Obama intervening to overthrow the Libyan government when we promised to leave them alone if they gave up their nukes was probably the worst foreign policy mistakes since Bush. That kicked off a worldwide nuclear arms race and ensured no dictator would ever again disarm. We will promise not to attack you, and then just do so when we change our minds in a few years.

Also endless bombing throughout the Middle East and assassinating an American citizen abroad without a trial.

while I generally agree with you, that's tangential to the point I'm making.

acting presidential is different than policy choices

Oh, got it makes sense

Obama I agree with mostly. I wasn't a fan of all the drone strikes which killed mostly innocent people though. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but at least with Trump you get what you see.

Trump never made fun of a handicapped reporter stop lying

Love how the republicans have too many to list and Obama’s fault happened after he has served and Joes is just ageism

ageism is a discriminatory term and I'm not doing descriminatory. he's senile.

what's your point otherwise?

Trump and Bush have many gafs, Biden does too I guess

Didn’t know he had a diagnosis or is that just an opinion?

👍

Obama- 1. if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. 2. Drone killing US citizens abroad

presidential actions, not bad policy

Obama was your gold standard? So you're cool with bombing innocents in Syria as long as the talk is good? Do you realize the media purposefully highlighted everything bad Trump has done and purposefully hid everything bad Obama has done? You think seriously that Obama is a good person behind his act youre retarded.

Do you want an actor or a president?

Obama at the time of the Zuckerman trial: „If I had a son he would look like Trayvon and I think they [his parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves."
