As a citizen Trump for years attacked Obama without provocation. You know what they say about dishing it.

What is your standard for TV anchor on a major news network?

You didn't mention that one.

Donald Trump is essentially the CEO OF OUR COUNTRY. When he speaks, he speaks for all of us. He represents the United States of America every time he opens his mouth.
If Mika says something stupid, she isn't representing me. If The Donald does, then he is.

I can't fathom that you don't see the difference here.

Awww, that's mighty big of you Kitty. But I don't think the POTUS should be held to your level.

All I see is a straw man argument. Either behavior is acceptable or unacceptable. You can't have it both ways.

How can you people condone this behavior? How does this dignify the office of the Presidency?
I guess the people who voted him in thinks it's fine. I personally think his conduct is lower than the lowest bar of Presidential behavior, but I guess his followers don't mind.

Sure you can.

This idiot you elected is meeting with world leaders and statesmen/women. His behavior is embarrassing. He's a very very powerful man who acts like kids in my child's fourth grade class.

It doesn't matter what I call him, it does matter what he calls others. Welcome to the real world.

Did Mika Brezenski, what this topic is about, say this about Obama?

Mika Brzezinski Called President Trump: Narcissist, Ignorant, Stupid, Mentally Ill, etc - In Less Than a Minute

what is more unbelievable is that he has time to watch all this. If he didn't watch this and someone in his family or his staff mentioned this to him then it becomes even more unbelievable!

"Boss they are saying bad things about you on channel number 419"

Thank you.

You guys just proved what I said about holding a double standard.

And if Mika had said those same things about Hillary or Obama, you would have gone to DEFCON 1.
