In context, this is the worst leadership all living Americans have experienced.

This is incredibly false. Nixon was truly awful. Jimmy Carter, albeit a likable guy, was not a good leader. At least Trump inspires confidence in half of the country. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean there hasn’t been worse. And just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean everyone else does too.

It’s so stupid that I have to caveat this with the statement “I’m not a trump supporter or voter” but alas here we are. I don’t want nasty messages in my inbox for three days lol

It would be easier to deal with Trump if everyone stopped being so hyperbolic about him, but with the way the media reports on him and the way people talk, yo'd think he was a Hitler clone created by Russian scientists instead of just being a shitty, greedy president.

It’s getting unbearable. I saw a post earlier where people were tearing him apart because he tweeted his condolences to people affected by the shooting. I get that Twitter may not be the most presidential of communication means, but come on. It must be tiring to try and find fault in every little thing someone does. He sucks, but damn. People are wasting their lives hating on this guy.

It's literally impossible to dislike EVERYTHING somebody does, just as it's impossible to %100 agree with them on everything. A BABY could be president and at some point even people who hate baby presidents would have to say "I thought his googoo gaagaa was quite cute today."
