Thursday's presidential briefing stands in sharp contrast to Monday's meltdown.

Trump offers a reasonable set of guidelines and backs off his "It's total. It's total." claim to governmental authority. He not only acted in a presidential manner but he wrong-footed the governors by putting it back on them. This is constitutionally correct and politically astute.

It also fits the Trump Doctrine: The buck was never here. Unless it was a good buck, and then I invented it. It is the best buck anyone has ever seen.

So on Thursday he says its the Governor's decision. Then on Friday he tweets out criticism of only Democratic governors saying their states should be "liberated." He is just a complete ******* with no leadership qualities at all. At a time of severe crisis he goes oout of his way to foment division.

You just have no memory of a republican that didn't take it up the ass, none of us do.

When Washington refused to side with the French in their conflict with the British, Thomas Paine (the Tucker Carlson of his day) had an essay widely published. In it, he asked "whether[Washington] had abandoned his principles or never had any in the first place?"

The point is that anyone who has ever been President faced withering criticism. The idea that this President is somehow unique in the nature of his political and media adversaries is laughable. What is unique is his reaction and his constant attempts to divide us.

There has never been any president or candidate for the office who has been as viciously attacked as Donald Trump ...not even close .

The attacks began the day he announced his candidacy and have only increased in volume and lunacy .

Even George Wallace was treated far better.

---

They(democrats and republicans alike) just didn't want an outsider coming in and seeing the scams they were perpetuating on the American people

That's why democrats attack like wild dogs and republicans don't fight for him

And we all lose because all this

Need to make it a disqualification if a government worker or his family or friends benefit from his government job more than his paycheck. Without that nothing changes

---

That might be a good policy, but you do realize that would knock Trump and his favorite three children and son-in-law out of the coins. I don't think there is much chance of T-rump going for that.

Bill Clinton ( who was a better president than either Trump or Obama ) never took even a quarter of the garbage that has been leveled at the fat orange guy .

Was a different time .

---

To be fair, no one has ever thrown as much back as the fat orange guy which pretty much nullifies any comparison with other Presidents.. That only causes the other side to ramp up more and feeds the beast.

---

You say it causes the other side to ramp it up... I say it exposes them for who they are

He hasn't divided the country... maybe he's divided the democratic party... but the country has been severely divided for, oh, 200+ years now?
