Why can't we do such a simple thing? You don't have to respect Donald Trump as a man, however respect his position as the most powerful man in the world. You might say he says hateful things but I can't think of any specific times where President Trump has said something hateful. If you have examples, hook me up.
As far as his policy. He hasn't even been elected for a full year. Let the man do some things and if you still don't like him then express dislike(notice I did not say hate). The reason the democrats lost the presidential election is because everyone is so tired of the constant whining. The reason the democrats will lose the next election is because they have been whining since Presidents' inauguration. If you would like me to elaborate I will.
The extreme amounts of disrespect to this current president is not quite what President Obama received, but it's almost that level. President Obama and his wife were likened to monkeys constantly. His legitimacy as an American was brought into question over and over for a reason that is obvious. President Trump has been attacked to no end by the far left simply because they don't like his words. It's truly sad. Does he bring some of the 'hate' onto himself? Of course he does. However, hating everything he does, making false news articles, and overall just lying about the things he says or does is just wrong to do to anyone. If you can't see that you are part of the problem. You are the reason why 'liberals' are seen as whining softies.
If you think I've missed something or am wrong on some account, by all means let me know.
The position of president and the person who holds that position is a two-way street. They influence one another. Even a bad president deserves respect for the position he holds and a good president just makes the position that much more respectable, but the other way around is also very well true: if you have a president that's making a complete mockery of the entire presidential institute, well then the position becomes a joke likewise and that's what Trump is doing right now. He lacks almost all the qualities a president should have and has way too much he shouldn't have. He is simply not "presidential" and if you accept that someone like that is a genuine president, you make it that much worse because you are accepting something that should have never occurred as "normal", which is a frightening thought.
It's disturbing how much all the parodies that have been made about him seem to be barely different than the actual reality.
And dude, seriously? He has made so many offensive and disrespectful comments that the only reason we forget about them, is because the next one immediately overshadows the previous one before we can take in the gravity of what he said earlier. If any other politician would have said even one thing of the many things that came out of Trump's mouth, his career would have been finished, but Trump seems to be thriving on it.
His term lasts only 4 years, so there really isn't much time here to be taking things slow and we are at the stage he should be starting to show some results. And the democrats didn't lose the election because they whine. All politicians whine. The reason Trump won was because he was not from the establishment. Officially he's a republican, but it's a public secret his own party isn't too fond of him either. Both the democrats and the republicans screwed up big time during this election and made the exact same mistakes. So unless they are really that stupid to not learn from their own mistakes, the situation should be quite different during the next elections. Not in the least because I wouldn't be surprised if Trump himself wouldn't want to go for a second term purely because he got sick of it all.
I don't get where this confidence of yours comes from about him winning the next election, but he lost the popular vote with a huge margin from Clinton. The only reason he won was because of an outdated electoral system he promised he would change, which hasn't happened as far as I know. He has no reserves whatsoever, so if Trump doesn't yield any noteworthy results, he's kinda screwed as people who voted against him are seriously not suddenly going to vote for him. So if people who originally voted for him because he was different, but it didn't change a thing, well it's questionable how many of them would be able to take another 4 years of that circus.
And Obama wasn't ridiculed. I don't even get where you got that. Yes every president is mocked to a certain degree. Republicans and democrats continuously mock the other parties' president, but overall seen Obama was perceived as a well-educated, well-spoken, idealistic and charismatic president. Someone who personified the virtues of a true president even if you didn't agree with the things he said or did. Trump on the other hand is a complete caricature. You don't even need to put much effort into mocking him as just watching him being himself is like watching some presidential reality TV equivalent of the Kardashians. And if you want fake news, you don't even have to bother to create fake news about him as you just need to wait till he opens his mouth again or sends a twitter message. The chances you can find some random BS in there are quite high.
Frankly the way how you are perceiving this is highly disturbing as it seems you have accepted Trump's erratic, irrational and irresponsible way of saying and doing things as something that's more or less normal and that it's how people react on it is out of the ordinary. It's the other way around.
