Donald Trump.
He was a joke right up to election week, and people were talking of impeachment even the day after he was elected.
When he suggested that the elections were rigged, Obama told him to “Stop whining” and Biden told him to “Grow up” and Clinton’s closing remarks were a very defiant “How DARE he criticize the integrity of the [U.S. Election process].
Of course, when he won the electoral college vote all of the sudden it was collusion with the Russians that got him elected (but wait… if Hillary won the POPULAR vote then how were there hacks???)
Many younger people who have not lived through history believe Donald Trump is a dictator along the lines of Hitler. They REALLY believe this. When you mention the Holocaust and Germany’s “Final Solution” these young people under age 25 claim he is inticing riots and is doing the same thing to “immigrants”
When you look at respectable news magazines—they are more concerned that Trump referred to someone as “That Gentleman” rather than say his name (Kim Jong Un) and there is virtually no comment about the content or outcome of the meeting to which the name was mentioned.
Yet already, before the first hundred days, terrorist holds have been wiped out, our allies respect us again, neutral nations respect us. Jobs are created in the Coal and Steel industry, and the stock market is way up.
To be fair, however, it is hard to defend Trump when he speaks his mind without restraint or decorum. Anyone can find a true and actual quote to support their anti-Trump position.
Even two days after Trump had allowed the military to wipe out an ISIS stronghold, and made good diplomatic relations with the Chinese president, many in the U,S, were not even aware of this and were still believing in Trump’s coziness with Putin (even when Putin was making threats) and—instead of protesting Trump’s use of a bomb or the horrors of the threat of nuclear war, they were protesting and firebombing en masse that Trump needed to show his tax returns. (what little of this information that had been leaked showed that he paid a higher percentage than Obama and a higher dollar amount than entire media networks)
I do not think the anti-Trump hysteria with people comparing him to Hitler (and really believing this), threatening to commit suicide, offensively showing their body parts, and ceaseless accusations about collusion with the Russians (even when Trump and Putin are not on good terms and have no previous association)—and conspiracy theories about power outages in New York and San Francisco—will ever end—as long as Trump is in office, no matter how well off the States are at the end of the term.
