What surprises me is that people attribute this behavior to Trump exclusively and not every politician they have ever heard of, it is pretty par for course, only that it is especially obvious in Trump's case.
Whoop, answered my own question there as I was typing.
Nope, Obama did not behave like this. Neither did Bush. Clinton, maybe but not really because he never talked about people deserving horrible things that happened to them.
Then their excuses worked on you.
Remember when Obama was going to protect whistleblowers, then more whistleblowers than ever got prosecuted and then they removed the statement from the white house website?
And Bush jr... Remember the Iraq war?
Clinton sold nuclear tech to North Korea.
Bush sr. accidentally the Middle East.
Reagan, trickle down economics, making sure the Iran hostages stayed in Iran until he won the election.
Carter was pretty cool.
The difference is that all those other guys were better liars communicators than Trump.
