The contrasts of today were jarring...

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.

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

Pew Research had similar findings.
