He's was the President of the United States, forgive me for holding him to a higher standard than your golf buddies. 

 

Why should a man not be a man?  At least Trump likes his women grown unlike Biden who is known for sniffing children.

Authoritarian?  Pot calling the kettle black.  The Alt-Left has embraced full on authoritarianism these days.

Trump tried his best to fight the pandemic.  When he wanted to halt travel early on people like you screamed "Xenophobia" when you likely don't even know the definition of that word.  Trump stood for freedom for All Americans and is the complete opposite of authoritarianism.  You are too biased, racist, and sexist to appreciate his accomplishments.

In your view, lying about the pandemic was the beat he could do? That's mostly what he did...try to create and deliver a narrative. 

Do you think that Trump was a successful and accomplished president? You do, don't you?

Rioting in 140 cities after George Floyd's death will cost insurance industry $2 BILLION | Daily Mail Online

 

This source says 2 billion.  2 wrongs don't make a right though.  I don't advocate going into the capital.  To call it an "insurrection" just shows your gullibility.  I don't think a bunch of rednecks taking selfies is much of an insurrection.  BLM storming the capital of Oklahoma in April 2021 armed to the teeth with assault weapons threatening lawmakers is much more of an insurrection.  How much news coverage did that get?  

Thanks for the source.  

I don't think the taking over of the capital in Oklahoma is comparable.  I remember seeing videos of them shorting at the legislature and none were armed.  Yes it was an "insurrection" if that makes you feel better.  

Even local news sources didn't cover it as you describe "armed to the teeth".

BLM protesters storm Oklahoma Capitol over GOP bills protecting drivers fleeing riots, police from 'doxxing' | Fox News

There is picture proof.  People standing with AR-15s in the OK Capital......You are right that taking over the capital isn't comparable.  It is far worse as they came in with weapons and were threatening lawmakers.  Peoples lives were in danger.

Touche.  Got to give you props for a good comeback.

It might not bother you at all but like I said, I hold a president to higher standards.  

You got me curious about his testorone levels being high and they are "good" and not necessarily high.  Not bad for a man of his age but I have better levels and know how to behave and talk professionally.  Of course I'm ten years younger and should have higher levels.

I actually enjoy what I do and love helping people.  This is one of the reasons I have such great respect for Trump.  I had the honor of meeting the man at a charity golf tournament for children's cancer about 20 years ago when I was still a caddy and know how good of a man he is.

Sure. Let's list the things that Trump is known for, I'll start and we can all add a few of the notable things that sets Trump apart from every other previous president:

-Trump is a well known racist who engaged in racist property management strategies and public commentary. 

-Trump is a conman and grifter with fake universities and charities used to enrich himself and family. He's conning republican voters out of money continuously. 

-Trump is a liar.  Trump lied about things big and small all through the 4 long years of his presidency. 

-Trump was credibly accused of rape, sexual assault and/or sexual misbehavior many many times.  He's the guy that paid hush money to Media stars...

I don't think Trump should have been as brash as he was nor do I do I think he should have wasted all this time tweeting.  He isn't perfect.

I will take that over Bush starting unnecessary wars or Obama killing hundreds of thousands in Libya.  Anyway now I really have to go I have telehealth psychiatry visits starting in 10 minutes.

You do realize that the Trump family didn't spend their charity money on childhood cancer, right? https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/06/06/how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business/

They were debunked in the cult, were they? LOL

Oh no, Trump doesn't live rent free in my head...there's a cost to his presence as evidenced by the state of the country by the time we got him out of the white house.

Yet nothing has ever become of this and Forbes isn't a credible source.
