We have become numb to Trump. Seriously:




Can you imagine President Barack Obama tweeting this?

Can you imagine President George W. Bush tweeting this?

Can you imagine President Bill Clinton tweeting this?

Can you imagine President George Bush tweeting this?



I'm just curious what will happen when somebody complains about the unpresidential behavior of whoever succeeds Trump.

any other President being in business with a Crime Cartel and it's not THE major story?

That there are no calls from Congress to investigate.

2. Unpresidential is right. Can't wait for the day he becomes "un-presidented"

But you know who is not numb to Trump? Robert Mueller!
Every day that this orange idiot and says and does something stupid, I know that Mueller is at his desk counteracting that with some new piece of evidence.

4. I can't imagine any other human behaving this way, let alone a POTUS

I think of the previous presidental "scandals," Jimmy Carter's Playboy interview, George HW Bush didn't know the price of bread, Obama wore that tan suit. And it gets worse every day.

15. He certainly doesn't act human.

Every president has flaws, some more than others, but I have never doubted that any of them didn't do what they believed was right for the American people. Trump thinks of no one but Trump, and you're right, he seems to have been programmed that way. And the truly scary part is that he doesn't care. Whenever he's called out, rather than attempting to make amends like a normal human, he just doubles down...

10. He had to pay $25m to people he had conned. He boasted of sexual assault.

He openly asked Russia to hack Americans. He accused an opponent's father of being part of the plot to kill JFK. He started his campaign with a racist diatribe against a neighbouring country. He built his political base with an absurd racist conspiracy theory about the president and his family lying for decades about where he was born.

The unpresidential behaviour has been there from the first time people heard of Trump.

11. Trumpsters have been crowing about how Trump tough talked China into releasing them
Mon Nov 20, 2017, 10:43 AM

and that proves he's not racist and world leaders fear American fire and fury once again.

Meanwhile people involved are not sure what Trump had to do with it.

to this POS dismantling the US. He is using Russian policies to do so much damage psychologically to the citizens of a country to disorient them. For example FOX news/Right wing radio, to get to those who are very weak and can be manipulated. Well we can see it's working for that 30 or 36% who are supporting this POS.

Then there are the remaining population who won't do this
