He's the President. They are not. I hold the most powerful person (arguably) in the world to a different standard than an infotainment anchor or non-name celebrity.

You can't judge people by two different standards is these situations. You're basically saying that the media is allowed to try to get the guy thrown out of office by any means necessary and he's just supposed to lie down and take it because he's the president. That's total nonsense.

quote:
The only other powerful entity/country/institution outside of the media that has called out Trump without human dignity is North Korea.

And Hollywood and left wing political parties and around the globe.

quote:
Plus, it's hard to feel sorry for Trump getting blasted by the media when he has tweeted provable lies, like that he denied the offer to be Time's Person of the Year, that his inauguration crowd was as big as Obama's, or that he received more electoral votes than anyone else in history. These are provable lies.

I don't give a shite if he gets blasted for things like that. It's when he gets blasted for trivial shite, especially trivial shite that turns out to be true.

quote:
And what about him constantly bringing up Hillary when he seeks attention? She is not even in political office. She has no relevance whatsoever to his job as President. He simply mentions her name to rile up his base of support.

He typically brings her up only when she goes after him. She's been on a blame tour for a year now and she won't stop whining. I don't blame him for calling her a corrupt loser because she is one. She's still in her glass house throwing stones.

quote:
Trump is far from a victim. He is the single most powerful, or at least one of the most powerful people, in the world. If he keeps tweeting the way he does, most of the world will continue to label him an embarrassment of a President. It's all in his (tiny) hands.

No one is claiming him to be a victim. He's simply the target of an elitist and pretentious group of people who can't stand to not get their way. That's why they're going after him like they are.

What he's doing is hurting, not helping, in regard to getting thrown out of office. He constantly contradicts himself, and it's provable. His own attorneys want him to stop. His tweets have already been used against him in court.

Hollywood goes after the status quo for everything. They have been extremely liberal for quite some time. They have been against every war and every conservative for a while now. What makes Trump different is that he attacks back, causing more trouble for him.

Trump brings up Hillary and Obama every chance he gets. He knows they are hated by his base. It's not the other way around. Obama and Hillary aren't even in office.

Trump is the definition of elite. Billionaire, Manhattanite, Democrat (until recent years), loves expensive/ostentatious things, divorced multiple times, attended elite schools, etc.

Don't believe the rhetoric. He has rebelled against other elites partly because they aren't as shallow as him and haven't made all of their wealth by strong arming real estate deals domestically, filing for bankruptcy, then strong arming real estate deals abroad...
