Why do we hear so much shit about trump when we didn't hear it about obama?

Republicans like to argue that the media only pays attention to his screw ups and not the good work he's doing.
Well...Obama was doing good work too (or at least work that some people thought was good and others didn't, same as trump) but he wasn't in the news every other day for saying or doing something stupid and\or immature and\or possibly criminal.

So is it a conspiracy by the fake news media or is trump maybe not exactly presidential material?
Or do you go a step further and say that his lack of basic social skills and ignorance of world events is a refreshing change from more measured heads of state like obama?

Dont forget that educated people, like the mainstream media, take more offense to guys parroting Nazi propaganda and methodologies.

It's not just left vs right. The problem is, the Nazi analogy IS used all the time, imprecisely, and no one wanted to think it could happen here.

I'm not really saying it has, but putting him in office was a step in the right direction. Giving him a Reichstag like opportunity has not, and I hope it doesn't.

But..... Wait and see if in 2020 we don't get the war time president thing with North Korea. This could be far worse then Viet Nam, obviously, but it won't develop the same way, and Trump is no LBJ.

The battle will, and I think, should be at the ballot box in 2020. Any other showdown is either impossible practically, or worse than the alternative for the system.

I'm all for investigating and proving Trump is a crook, but he can't be taken down by it. The best shot is voting him out because enough people know it. It's sad, but this mother f er will pardon his cronies, and I don't see pushing for "justice" to be a decent plan.

Of course, the problem is convincing the people who drink his cool aid, and I think that's very hopeless. I'd aim for friends and family who didn't vote, or maybe people who just hated Hillary.

And pray. Or meditate, or whatever it is that might help
