Back in the day; when liars were outed for their activity we were taught that the word "phony" was the most applicable descriptor for such a person.
Back in the day stupid people didn't line up to worship at the feet of such a person in the most embarrassing display of lemming behaviour ever witnessed on this continent.
Even the stupid people had more self respect back then..
But why do you (as a Canadian who snow-birds in the U.S.) care if Americans (by the particular laid out process) elected a liar?
You obviously care in some fashion, else you wouldn't bring it up.
Do you think it is somehow going to change 'how you snow-bird', or do you just like wagging your proverbial finger and feeling justified in doing so?
(It has to be something besides the tariffs and the G7 etc. insults. You didn't just all of a sudden feel this way after those two things)
Who'se Obama and what has he got to do with this topic?
You sound like George Clooney .
One of the Fox people interviewed George Clooney on a red carpet during the Obama administration. The Fox person said "Obama", and Clooney grimaced and replied "He's not 'Obama', he's the President of the United States."

I don't presume to speak for another, but I would ask one question:
Do you care what your next-door neighbor does, if said neighbor's actions have a potential impact on your life?
There are threads on here almost every day where Americans question the actions of other countries, countries with which we share no borders at all. In light of that, I think Canadians can be excused for feeling they have at least a small stake in what we do here.
He talks about grabbing p***y in private, but denies it in public.
He said"and they let you" but the msm media and Trump haters conveniently leave that part out. He didn't force anyone.
He admitted to it. He said that he is not that same man that he was 20 years ago.
Most of America forgave him and was made obvious on election night. The ones that didn't forgive him didn't care what he said. They just wanted to created a distraction from his opponent's defense of her hubby's ongoing actual sex crimes. You will see even more evidence of that forgiveness in 2021.
I heard the audio of that John Melendez prank call to Air Force One, and it really proved that Trump speaks with exactly the same demeanor and language in private as he does during a television interview.
He never deviates from his genuine persona, always himself, no act.
You could copy and paste that phone call onto a television interview and it would be a perfect fit.
Yes, the liberal media and the liberal celebs(if you can call them that) think they are so clever and keep trying to catch President Trump at something and it just backfires on them. It shows Trump to be who he says he is. Publicly and privately.

Enjoy your delusion. You won't be prepared in 2021 on election night so liberals will be blindsided. Again. MAGA

These three go together, so I'll answer them as such.
Better a fake who doesn't degrade the dignity of others than a "real thing" who deliberately sets out to do so to others.

"Refreshing" candor used to demonize, degrade, or strip dignity from others in a contemptuous spirit, and worse encourage frank bullying of those others? Nah. Polished, carefully chosen words and fence walking is DEFINITELY the lesser of the two bads. At least it doesn't give a green light to the "haters" out to throw feces on the essential personhood of others...mock the disabled (NYT reporter), the overweight (Alicia Machado), the allegedly unattractive (Carly Fiorina), appeal to negative and especially false caricatures of those of lower power or social status (illegal immigrants being disproportionately more likely to commit rape, deal drugs, and general crime - The evidence is ambiguousat best.

You'd probably give your left nut to have Trump's charisma.
Anybody who finds it entertaining to hurt, harm, or degrade others a great personality has a serious lack of compassion for their fellow human beings - especially if any bad they do is trivial compared to the dehumanizing they receive.
Charisma by itself says nothing about the quality of the person. Charisma can be used for evil things as well as for good ones. Even worse, charisma can convince easily-swayed people that a bad thing is really a good one. No thanks. Better a good-hearted bore than a charismatic d-bag.
Speaking more generally, all I see in Trump is kneejerk personalized anger and/or contempt clearly out of proportion to the severity of the problem. What bad, if any, justifies Trump's abusive comments toward them (and his base's distaste for that matter)? … meaning, What level of hurt, harm, or degradation do Trump's opponents do to others that justifies Trump and his base psychologically bludgeoning and demeaning them? Also, how do you know your own standards for trashing others make any sense? So far, it looks like Trump's fans simply saying about their opponents "They're icky! That's why I don't like them!" is a more honest and "refreshing" expression of their views rather than simply believing the standard rumors about such and such horrible thing "those people", and assuming that thing applies to every one of "those people".

Putting on a nice front does not mean trashing everyone behind their backs. Trashing in general, up front and behind backs in equal measure, is not only immature but it also is excessive.

That is worrying.
So Trump isn't just acting that's actually his really persona.
