so the leftist fascist vulgar "vanityfair" comes with a faux list
Only in vanityfair could a successful businessman, with 700 successes (and failures) be passed off as a serial bankrupt
• Only in vanityfair, could twist an anti ILLEGAL platform into on an anti-immigration platform.
^^^^This. The Left has to LIE, and misrepresent to make their points, which are all false as they are based on lies. Sad.
Graydon Carter, ex-editor of Vanity Fair, one of the people Trump most hates, coined the original description of "short-fingered vulgarian."
Here are his musings on Trump's win:
Trump's "Only In America" Election Win
• Only in America could a serial bankrupt pass himself off as a successful businessman.
• Only in America, a nation built on a history of immigration, could a man who married two immigrants—one of whom is alleged to have worked illegally when she first arrived—run on an anti-immigration platform.
• Only in America could a man who kept a volume of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside rule over the second-largest Jewish population in the world.
• Only in America could a man who avoided the draft—with a deferment for pesky bone spurs on his feet, which somehow did not hinder him from playing tennis—and who insulted war heroes and their families become the commander in chief of the greatest military power on earth.

I think the cited criticisms are valid, but the framing of it as "Only in America" is bad journalism at best, propaganda at worst.
There are some logical fallacies here:
• Only in America could a man who kept a volume of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside rule over the second-largest Jewish population in the world.
Well, only one country can have the second largest Jewish population in the world.
Look, if you want to point out these facts, I am all aboard, but the puerile whinging tone of "Only In America" schtick is very middle school Jan Brady-esque and a real eye roller.
If the author is trying to match the cringy hyperbolic rhetoric of right-wing news sources, kudos, you did great!
You mean like Obots lapped up every lie off Obama's lips like little kittens? And there were lots of Obama lies.
Is this all you have? I am certainly not what you call an "Obot". When you have nothing of substance to add there always is the "what about" huh? It is 2019 & Obama is gone forever, time to face the truth that Trump is a LIAR on steroids.
^^^^This. The Left has to LIE, and misrepresent to make their points, which are all false as they are based on lies. Sad.
But I notice you're not disputing any particular thing you claim to be a lie.

Yes, but to me, it's more than that. Some people avoided the draft because they were in school. Bill Clinton, for instance, apparently tried to join the particular niches of the military, but ultimately at least he was a serious scholar. Trump's goal was just to pursue money.
Recycling a 2016 opinion piece. Are you running out of material?
You can expect to see more of that in 2020. They are already priming the pump of foreign governments helping Trump win again. Those Demwits are so predictable, aren't they?
