Obama, when he invited Speaker Ryan to sit in the front row during an address and then excoriated him. That's when Obama lost me.


Bill Clinton, when he lied under oath.


Roosevelt, for not telling VP Truman a single thing about the atom bomb even though Roosevelt knew he was dying. Truman did not know it existed.



Teddy Roosevelt, for continuously telling lies about his physical prowess.


Buchanan for not stepping up to the plate and preventing The Civil War.


Andrew Jackson for numerous transgressions against congress and against common good behavior.


Actually, Trump has done pretty well. But a lot of people would prefer he "acted Presidential" as opposed to governing effectively. That's the whole purpose of this thread. Thankfully, Trump is just going to do what is best for America. Liberals should just get out of the way.

Nice try to deflect away from all the fantastic news and winning lately though OP!
That isn't the question asked and you know it. You are deflecting. Which person has said "grab em by the cat" yet tweeted that a punk band asked to play a hockey all star game cursed.

People are more interested in results than a lawyer wearing expensive clothes using polished vocabulary to lie his aze off and avoid being called a liar by relying on sentence structure, punctuation and a thesaurus....and an official media propaganda machine.


Schumer told us the CIA has six ways of Sunday to get back at you if you annoy them.


Does Parliament act 'presidential'? Seems to work for the UK.


Ebonics was mainstreamed, tests altered to accommodate cultural differences in a show of tolerance.


Tolerance is no longer desirable when it comes from a different background than a Harvard lawyer????


Beat a guy down for three years, accuse him of all sort of crimes, treason, being a foreign agent and flawed character and you expect a polished statesman????


Pelosi lost it when a reporter asker her a question, said not to mess with her.


Biden went apoplectic when asked a question he didn't like.


These two have not been under unrelenting hate and fear mongering from all quarters for three years and yet their expressed outrage is tolerated by the same media and pol party who find trump deplorable and unfit for office for not fitting into a traditional mold of ex presidents.


I suppose if your surgeon's socks don't match and he ends his sentences with a preposition, you will shun him for a well dressed surgeon with excellent vocabulary and a not so stellar operating record.

Except Trump is an adult, and is capable of acting like an adult/not exhibiting childishness while still being the same policy wise....but he chooses not to elevate to that level, because he lacks discipline and doesn't give a flying f.

He could do both, and citizens should hold his feet to the proverbial fire re doing both. Being the POTUS is a privilege, and he is our employee.

who cares. I care about policy and results. I don't need a role model. Some of you apparently needed a dad or some other role model growing up.

I don't think people voted for a billionaire and reality TV show star based on his presidential charisma

Not in my lifetime, maybe one in the distant past that people forgot about, or perhaps never.

I don’t know how old you are but you must be perfect if you have not uttered anything that you have been sorry for.

None of these come close to Trump's behavior on a daily basis. Do you actually listen to the words coming out of Trump's mouth?
