    True - the damage was started in the Nixon era, really, but even in GB's case, although he was taken the mick out of (rather unkindly, it must be said - it's never nice to mock someone for a speech impediment) it was a) never with as much malice as Trump attracts - no-ne ever depicted him as pile of shit - and b) the office (as opposed to the person) of POTUS wasn't demeaned as much as it is now. Trump has managed to drag things to a new low.

    So the leftist media prints a picture of Trump as a pile of shit - and it's Trumps fault for making them do it? Nice example of how nothing is the Lefts fault in fact they're not even responsible for their own actions.

      Yeah but such things don't come from nothing. Call people sh*tholes and you can't complain about being called shit yourself, can you?

        Seriously - what is it in that post that is down to "Kool-Aid"? Are you really blaming the Democrats for Trump's outrages?

        That you accept the media's version of Trump hook, line and sinker. Don't even question it. It's funny - I don't recall you posting about any of Obama's scandals.

        Nope - Trump is a big boy. I just wish the media would even be half so anxious to destroy liberals as they are to destroy others. It gets old.

          More of that Kool-aid?! He didn't call ANYONE a shithole. He called a couple COUNTRIES shitholes. Big difference. Kind of like when people call the US the "Great Satan"... right? Or burn the American flag?

            That's not really a relevant difference, but let me re-phrase it for you: call peoples' country a sh*thole and you can't complain if you get called a sh*thole back, can you?

              God that is such a boring old trope of an argument. "I am rational and independent of thought - you are brainwashed and unthinking." Is that all you've got? Get over yourself.

                Its a very relevant difference. Folks (like you) who don't see the difference (or don't want to) are calling the comment racist. It's not racist to call a country a shithole - it might even be accurate.

                      In other words, yes that is all you got. Try looking in a mirror sometime.

                        I wrote folks (like you) who don't see the difference... ...because you seemingly didn't see the difference between calling a person a shithole and calling a country a shithole. Sheesh!

                          It makes no odds though - call someone's country a sh*thole and you are likely to be called a sh*thole yourself, and can hardly complain about it. That's all I was saying. Besides, the difference is moot - a country is made up of its people. When Trump used that word he wasn't referring to the landscape.

                            Who's complaining? My initial reply was one word... "Classy".

                              He never called anyone a shithole. He called Haiti a shithole which it is. And if you went there I'm sure you'd say the same. Point still stands - how can you say Trump has dragged it low when it's the Left doing that.
