And many more examples. Actions are be MORE Un-Presidential than a Tweet, and are more significant.
All taken out of context therefore meaningless however Limbaugh would be proud of your efforts to trash the former President.

Well,

One President illegally bombed Kosovo for 78 days straight since he couldn't keep his dink in his pants.

One President got us into endless war in Iraq/Afghanistan

One President gave rides on Air Force One for rich donors and gave pallets of $$$ to a murderous regime in Iran


Soooo.....DJT is a rank amateur compared to those fellows!

Nice try, but no. All happened, all were Un-Presidential. I don't listen to Limbaugh. But you're Mr. CNN and NBC, huh? And maybe New York Times and PBS for good measure.

Trump is a lowlife but the low point of the presidency in my view is still having sex with a White House intern in the Oval Office, lying about it to the American people, and then ruining the intern's life by blaming her for instigating it.

Remember, this is a poll of MORE or LESS.

No one can even approach Trump, who says and does more unpresidential things in a month than other POTUS's say in years (or sometimes in a lifetime).

You can come up with all the BS you like. The actual number of statements and the content of them are all in front of us for history.

I was happy to see that a very detailed recent poll of historians and others who know POTUS history rated Trump among the dead last.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...t_Poll_of_2018

Basically he's tied with two guys who were either impeached or wanted to spread slavery further. That's rare company.

Dead last in Executive ability and 2nd to last in Communication ability. I think that makes it pretty clear as far as "Presidential". His only mark that was in the top 1/3rd was for "Luck". That means we all need to pray more.

I'm fairly sure that intern went to DC specifically for such (she said so) and that her success in life was going to somehow be based on her perceived ability to rope someone in.

That whole episode, however sad, doesn't compare to just the single treatment of Yankowitch - threatening your own Ambassador.......allowing non-governmental officials to collude with others to spread and publish smear campaigns against a honest lifelong foreign service officer.

Remember, we are talking "less Presidential" in terms of statements and actions over years...not the question of Presidents and high placed people having sex..which is very normal.

In any other admin, you wouldn't even have known about such things. Remember, Congress now outlawed the type of investigation (which had zero to do with sex) that Starr spent 5 years on (whitewater). No more "independent" prosecutors. If we had that we'd nail Trump to the Wall on dozens of things...that is, if he had the courage to testify.

but he won't. So you seem to forgive anything and everything he did because....hey, you don't know about it and he won't talk about it under oath. That's interesting.

"Presidential" is what SCH president thinks it is.

Not in living memory. Maybe in the 19th century?

The vulgarity, the greed, the inarticulate foundering, the unrestrained temper - not to mention that her currently is hardly putting in any office time at all.

Somehow that's worse than having sex with a pornstar or that playboy model while your wife is pregnant with your son Then using the Enquirer to Catch and Kill the story while using your Charity to pay it all off through your sleazy attorney so the story doesn't come out during the election won in part by promising (falsely) to jail your rival just to mention a very partial list of bad behavior.



Yep that's much worse than lying about a BJ.
