(7,220 posts)He is the real deal, the gold standard of both presidents and human beings.
Meanwhile, swampmonster is busy golfing and trying to sell his shitty ego-trip portraits from his fake charity.
What a bizarre contrast.

Damn.

(37,648 posts)There he is, a multi-millionaire who lives in a mansion of his own, now. Sailing with celebrities and whatnot. But he still does the good things he's known for. His character hasn't changed.
We were lucky for eight years.

And Trump wants to take away the ACA and Medicare.

(11,005 posts)How I miss him and Michelle. Everytime I see their pictures, it calms me down a little bit. It reminds me that there are still adults in the room.
He looks absolutely adorable in that Santa hat.

(25,791 posts)He is warm. He is real. He really likes people, as does Michelle. He has fun making people smile. He is one of us. I love everyone's reaction. I hope there's more video soon. I wonder what he is saying to those lucky kids.
(and he's looking good)

Honest, warm, caring and nice.
