First was tRump who spoke lies, laments his victim-hood and continues his hate-mongering.
Then following that were Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. They spoke love, integrity and truth. They remembered a good man who brought the best out of people.
tRump brings out hate and anger.
Clinton and Obama bring out compassion and love.

who are widely respected around the world.
Trump set a record with Gallop for how unfavorable an American President is viewed by the rest of the world.
