One cannot compare what he did to what Obama did (or other Presidents for that matter) when one refuses to deal with the vast history of the Drumpf family during their brief presence in this country (the earliest being the 1880s), as well as just the last 40+ years of controversy after controversy after controversy.

Those who are multi-generational Americans know the Drumpf type and Zakaria's naivety will hopefully be reduced if he would start over and do some research on where this man is coming from.
