(79,293 posts)I taught all four of my children that, when I was speaking to them about their behavior, the "but what about so-and-so?" was not acceptable. Indeed, there would be a consequence for that alone, but it would not under any circumstance deflect from our focus on their behavior. Children should learn this simple lesson by the age five, as it will be important for the rest of their lives.
I was thinking that there was a good chance that this fellow had the wrong forum to advocate his position. This was based in large part by my understanding that Trump, rather than Obama, is the current president. I am right on that, I'm sure.
Under President Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran and other nations, there were no missile attacks or IEDs targeting US troops in Iraq. Trump changed that. He owns the violence, and the violence owns him.
