It is funny how Trump simply responding to people who have harshly attacked him is described as attacking. Freedom of speech is a two way street.

Trump's a tweeting/bleating fool.
Obama did attack Rush, Fox News all the time. Rush played the audio clips of it.

Over an 8 year time period, perhaps. But NOTHING on the level of Donald Trump constantly and incessantly crying about 'Fake News' and CNN.


Trump hasn't even been in office for one year.

You have a point. I for one didn't expect the unraveling of the Republic to be entertaining, but I find myself fascinated. Say what you want about a toddler with a shotgun, but he does have the undivided attention of the room.

Of course you are going to say that as a partisan Democrat. Obama described voters who didn't vote for him as 'bitter clingers'. You make him out as though he was a choir boy.

It is funny how you act like nobody has the right to criticize Democrat liars at CNN and other networks. That's 'crying'. That's the news network that took Hillary's contrived Russia collusion story at face value and ran with it but has no interest in the fact the Clintons colluded with Russia to put together that phony dossier and colluded with Russia in the crooked uranium one scandal in which large amounts of money went to the Clinton Foundation.

It's funny that you think that's what I said.


Bottom line - Trump does nothing but further divide this country with this childish tweeting. And on a daily basis.


Obviously, he is incapable of governing anyone but his 30% base.

The country is always divided so that is just empty rhetoric. Obama didn't do anything to unite the country.

Most people either don't like Michael Moore or don't care about him, so the idea that the country has been divided over Trump's tweet about Moore doesn't make any sense.

The guy who sticks his thumb in the eye of the NRA and the medical insurance companies is not used to "someone who will fight back". That's - well, kindly put, it's a really dumb thing to say.

Heck, Michael Moore had an entire movie dedicated to attacking him, personally. Admittedly, it was a movie that the invisible hand of the market then slapped upside the head like a red-headed stepchild, but still. (Conservative comedy generally fails to work. It's funny when people kick upwards. It's rarely funny when people kick downwards. Conservatives seem to have internalized their persecution complex and merely think they're kicking down)

Did Obama criticize Fox News on a daily basis, call them out at press conferences; call them liars and threaten to pull their broadcasting license?


Did he constantly tweet insults at Mitt Romney who he beat handily ever AFTER the election was over?


Did he tweet out insults at members of his own and the opposite party?


No. He did not. He was, at the very least, a grown-up.


Trump is a narcissistic man-child who is incapable of seeing beyond his own ego.


But you keep right on defending his every action.

Your problem with Trump is you don't agree with him on the issues and he beat your candidate, not his tweets.

He doesn't attack anybody who has not attacked him first, with some exceptions like Jeff Sessions.
