Yeah, this one got to me. Thank you, Mr. President.
It’s not just about intelligence. Trump is just by nature very deliberately and shockingly mean-spirited, vindictive, mendacious, narcissistic, and divisive. After all, those are the characteristics that appeal so much to his supporters. I don’t think he could manage to be emotionally supportive in any meaningful way even if he tried. How can a president who’s main campaign slogans was “f- your feelings” now try to provide emotional support to a nation in a time of crisis? His response is what it has always been: more nonstop lies, cursing, political propaganda, and denigrating and dismissing science.
I had Trump shoved at me. However the man is a splendid president. Biden would be a good man to threaten Ukraine with and proved he is able to threaten countries.
what a stupid response
Bush's polling was in the 20s. Not fighting back against the leftist bastards attacking him only hurt him. As for the low intellect, I thought we established one of us has a college degree, and it isn't you.
Y'all make noise about those issues, but you don't care about them. The left doesn't care about anyone or anything but their own power.
Clueless? He did more to prepare us for a pandemic than any other president in recent memory.Little Bush Jr. recognizes covid-19 is a serious issue I see. Pray for him because he thinks prayers can defeat a virus. Too bad he was clueless for the 8 years he was president.
Do us a favor and tend to your own mismanaged 3rd-tier hellhole of a country before you criticize ours.
Trump's tweet is crazy. Although frankly, rather than stay quiet, Bush should have publicly supported impeachment.
Bystanders are worse than perpetrators.

What a damn shame Democrats have done exactly the opposite of what Bush said, and politicized this.
Kind of like how Democrats now can't stop posting columns by neocon David Frum who they pilloried for eight years?I must have missed it. I liked W and voted for him both times. Just find it curious that he only gets his props after bashing Trump. When you lie down with dogs you get fleas his pappy would've told him.
Can't you post in a non racist fashion?

Anyhow...

It's funny. The left absolutely despised Bush when he was president. They ridiculed and derided him every step of the way. How did Bush react? He was very 'presidential'. He didn't fight back. Didn't argue with his critics? The result? He got fricking BURIED in the polls. He did exactly what the left wanted and he got destroyed.
Back to Bush, he's now a hero to the left again, because he's being useful to them in bashing Trump. But I remember well how they despised him.
President Trump is far too smart to play that game. He knows what entreaties for bi-partisan harmony really mean. The intent is to get conservatives to shut up and agree with the left. Leftwingers have NO interest in getting along. Their interests are purely in getting their way. Trump isn't playing. That's why he's polling at his highest level ever, despite the incessant hammering he's gotten from the leftwing media the past five years.
He got fricking BURIED in the polls.
Yes, but his numbers eroded more and more as the attacks by the media continued. And Bush took it. He was very gentlemanly, very presidential. Just like the left says they want. And he got buried in the polls for not standing up for himself. Trump is WAY too smart for that. He knows what the game is, and he's not playing.
Fundamentally the difference between W. Bush and Trump is very simple:
Bush believed there was no policy more important than the Republic itself.
Trump believes there is nothing about the Republic more important than his policies.
The last time half the country adopted Trump's way of doing things is when the South decided the economic benefits it derived from slavery were more important than the Republic, and we had a Civil War.
I am not saying Bush did not have his faults, I disagreed with many of his policies, but Bush still believed in the system the Founding Fathers put in place. Bush believed in working within the system. Trump is either ignorant of, or I think more accurately, simply does not care about the system the Founding Fathers put in place. I think the truth is many Trump supporters also don't care about the Republic either. I suspect they think to themselves, "If the system, the Republic, with all its features, its institutions, its laws, and so on have left me behind, then what use is it?" Do you really care more about immigration and abortion more than the Republic itself? What value would stricter immigration policies and laws against abortion have for you if we didn't have a Republic anymore? Why would you throw everything away so you could stick your finger in the eyes of people like Jim Acosta? How does that make any sense?
The thing rabidly hateful and partisan Trump supporters have to remember is the following:
...in a big country of 327 million people, you're not always going to get what you want. Sometimes your favorite bill is not going to be passed. Sometimes your favorite policy will not be adopted. And you're going to have to live with that because that's the price of living in a Constitutional Republic that has hundreds of millions of citizens. Sooner or later, in order to get on with living your life, you're going to have to compromise with your fellow citizens. And it's fine if you don't want to compromise, but what's going to happen is the world is going to move on without you and leave you behind...just as it's already doing, just as you fear it's doing.
W. Bush was a two-term President. Trump has already been impeached and will likely not be re-elected, so there's that.
What's the point of being President if you have to destroy the country in the process?
If you think your political opponents are not worthy of participation in the same government then there will never be any hope of compromise.
