It's like everyone forgot 2009-2017

The media, Republicans, Trump, and his supporters are shocked and appalled with the level of hate and disrespect that Trump is getting. As if they forgot about all the hateful, crazy, and nasty things that were said it about President Obama.

We should treat with just as much respect as Joe Wilson gave Obama when he shouted "You Lie!", or when Alito shook his head and was mouthing off under his breath while Obama was addressing Congress, or when Jan Brewer wave her nasty finger in Obama's face, or when Trump led the birther movement, we can go on and on

... they are JUST FINE with the dozens of unethical or illegal things Trump has done since taking office which would have them shrieking themselves hoarse had Hillary or Obama did even ONE of them. There would be impeachment proceedings going on RIGHT NOW.

Instead with Trump they just ignore everything or if confronted just insist "it's not illegal." "It's no big deal." "It's all fake news." "You people are just sore losers! You lost, GET OVER IT!"

And of course they're busily rewriting history to pretend they dutifully worked with and respected Obama and gave him every chance. As if they weren't shrieking racist epithets and burning him in effigy, both literally and figuratively.

No, these people have nothing they can say to me about any issue from now on. It'll be hilarious though, next time we have a Democratic President and they resume to moaning and screeching about him/her playing golf or going on vacation!

I could say he is a Resident. But he is illegitimate because he is a puppet of another government. He was installed in America's White House by a hostile foreign power.

And his "election" is illegitimate because Russian interference in OUR election renders that election result illegitimate as well.
