Not only bad press, but from day one he was conspired against to the point of the right wing fighting any and all of his policies even if they were the ones that cons backed previously. AND he was trolled by Trump with the birther bull-**** so let's not forget that. And thru all of that he kept his composure and always presented himself like a gentleman.

Did the Russians show up at the polls in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and push the button for Trump? You know....the very states that Crooked Hillary ignored in her campaign.

Kelly Anne, you're back! If you can't address the issue without deflecting, please go elsewhere.

And you think the media dictates impeachment...lol. you can't be serious with that line of thinking...right?

If there had been something that was impeacheable, the Republican Congress would have pounced on it. We all know they didn't really like him.

We could be so lucky to have a drama and scandal free presidency like Obama's again. Even if you disagreed with his politics, he ran a good ship.

Absolutely correct. Mitch McConnell even said that his number 1 priority was to see that Obama was a one term president.

Collusion?


Did someone do something illegal?

I think "fawning" was the word used at the time.


The press is at war with the voters.


I'm glad President Trump communicates directly with me through Twitter.


You may like your information pre-chewed, but I don't.

Oh for goodness sake, there are a lot of differences, don't let the media get you jarred up. Previous administrations and their campaigns have talked to foreign governments. No one batted an eye, nothing happened. The people who voted for Trump aren't going to put up with any crap. Seriously, all hell would break loose.
