This is a cop-out statement. Saying all presidents (at least in our memory) are assholes only serves to suggest that Trump is just another asshole in a long line of assholes and therefore he's no worse and blah blah blah.  

Trump is absolutely the worst president in my life's memory going back to John Kennedy, and given I bother to study history once in awhile, one of the 2-3 worst ever.  And his inept contemporaries on that list didn't have worldwide, 24X7 instant communications and massive nuclear arsenals.  That alone puts him at the top of my Worst Ever list.  It's not even that his heart is in the right place but he's just "new to the job", or that he means well but just likes to kid a lot. He's an intellectual fool, self-absorbed with the image he created of himself, and used to getting his own way, ethics, laws and common decency be damned. He could give a flying fuck about the rest of us, as long as he gets what he wants.

We've handed this dangerous maniac the keys to the greatest country ever devised by man, the most powerful and world-threatening arsenal of weapons ever created by man, and unchecked authority to send atomic weapons thousands of times more potent than Fat Man & Little Boy that could, in fact, set off a chain reaction of events that would make The Road seem like a child's fairy tale. Civilization-ending inhalation.  I'm not being verbose - this is a real thing, has been since the '50s.  Every president since Eisenhower knew this and treated the prospect with is due reverence, "assholes" that anyone may have deemed them to be.

I have no bone to pick with you. I've seen your name & posts from time to time but can't say I know anything about you. This is about all of us. This is about survival of our way of life, and quite possibly our very lives.We're beyond the point of witty comments, personal politics, and trying to convince each other who's right and who's wrong. The freedom we enjoy to put our opinions in this Forum without being dragged into the street and shot is in serious jeopardy.  Those that don't see that are either not paying attention or don't give a damn.

I've been forced to stop dealing with this by not watching the news, not engaging in the dialog, and burying my deadhead in the sand of the Grateful Dead catalog.  I can no longer look away and wait this out. This poor excuse for a human being has got to go, and soon. 

Resist or explain yourselves when we're standing on the smoldering ashes of our heritage. Resist and stop wrapping yourselves in the guise of Patriotism and slogans. Resist or in the end it won't matter.

Just a few miles south of the truth: 

Jared Kushner Calls Kim Jong-un “Totally Unqualified Person” Who Got Job Only Through Nepotism

Kushner noted that, instead of working his way up and acquiring the skills necessary to do his job, the North Korean leader had been given huge responsibilities and power “only because of family connections.”

“There’s only one word for that,” he said. “Nepotism.”

Deep throat?

Gives a new meaning the the phrase "Go fuck yourself"

when was the last time we had one who wasn't?  Trump just wears his asshole on his sleeve (and apparently a vagina in his neck).

Am I asking for too much to expect that the President of the United States should not an asshole?

I'm so so sorry.
