I remember when...

I remember when presidents, after the hoo ha of the election, professed to be the president of ALL the people.
Not just the president of their party, or of the people who voted for him.
ALL of us.

At some point, either during or shortly after the inauguration, they would speak to the entire nation in an attempt, whether lip-service or actual desire, to at least partially close the rifts that may have been (were certainly?) caused by opposing ideologies.

Not this guy.
No sir. No ma'am.
Not Donald John Trump.
"WE DON'T NEED A LIBERAL IN THE SENATE. WE DON'T NEED A DEMOCRAT."

Thank you, Mr. Pres...no, I can't say it.
He is not and he never will be.

George W. Bush should thank you every day of the rest of his life.
You have saved him from going down in history as the worst president of the United States ever.

"George W. Bush should thank you every day of the rest of his life.

One of the most honest and concise statements ever make about Trump. Bush Jr. is being normalized. Of course that shouldn't happen and won't completely. Jr. was stupid beyond stupid. So is Trump. Bush Jr. is still worse in my opinion because the deaths he was responsible for, on all sides. But in terms of utter stupidity and lack of concern for others, Trump and Jr. are very similar

Shut up and learn what has been done, how it's done, and your take on how to do it.

I've never seen an executive who didn't do that.

Trump thinks he's just superior to everyone else and knows everything.
