The mainstream media was nothing but Obama TV for 8 years. Obama supporters kissed his butt the entire time and I rarely heard them criticize Obama or any of his policies. You were called a racist if you did that.

It was very much a cult and still is.

I could go on, but you'll just say Obama built that.

Trump may not act presidential, and trip over his tongue on twitter, but at least he doesn't have the dark seed of corruption that was running through the Obama administration. People have forgot that Obama and Hilary did crap like use the IRS to attack opponents. Stuff that would have landed other people in prison.
No corruption in this administration, I think you are just a bit out of touch. Whether its Flynn, Price, Mnuchin or Scott Pruitt there is plenty of corrupt individuals, supporters actually accept his appointment of his unqualified son-in-law as normal. Then there is Manafort.


The president doesn't run the IRS by the way, nice deflection but that's what Trump supporters want to believe.

Exactly. There is a difference between being to the point/honest/no nonsense and being a petulant bully. One can be honest and to the point without being a bully. One can be no-nonsense without being ugly about it. What Trump did was not only unnecessary, but it was uncalled for.

I can come up with a good list of right wing lunacy. Both anti-Obama and pro-tRump.

I'm not saying Obama supporters aren't delusional but there are a lot of Trump supporters are full on delusional and use conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists to support claims.

The way it works is SUPPORTERS of a president usually don't criticize their man. It's up to the opposition party to do that. The press didn't find as many issues with Obama as they do with Trump is because Obama was NOT FACT AND TRUTH CHALLENGED like our current president. Obama also didn't avoid press conferences and try to hide things from the public. If he'd start comporting himself with the dignity the office deserves and has always gotten in the past, Trump would have far less push back. You act like a pig, don't expect to be treated like a derby winner.

Yes the media was silent on Benghazi, F&F, Clinton’s emails, IRS, Iran, Israel, Iraq, Isis, immigration, he just floated through his 8 years unscathed.

Apparently he watches a lot of CNN. I don't care about Don Lemon he seems like a tool but LeBron James is a good guy. He is a successful businessman which Trump should admire and gives back to his community. He is also a very smart guy.



What Trump said about him was poor taste and petty. Especially after a segment about the school that James opened.
