Is Trump the first US president to be called a clown and told to shut up on live TV?

Possibly.

I only saw a few short clips over her but seriously is that the 2 best America can offer up for that job?
@SW-User That's the problem with Corporations running the country.

@SW-User Those were my words in 2016.
@Iwillwait 2016 was the epitome. 2 of the most hated people for POTUS. It took the Republicans decades to get the Cons to hate Hillary that much but I still think Trump was there to lose. Putin and Comey made sure that didn't happen. Trump expected to go on TV and complain about The Rigged Election for a decade. Trump was shocked when he won.

@Pitchblue I agree, that's what was so hilarious. I think Trump was shocked to learn he won too.
@Iwillwait He would have never taken the chance that all of his dirty business, like laundering money for Russia and Tax Fraud would be exposed had he not thought he'd lose but could still turn it into a profit. Now we find out all of his properties are losing money and that his golf course in Scotland was bought with money from the heavens. No explanation where hundreds of millions in cash came from when no bank would lend to him. How did Jared get a 99 year lease, paid up front, when his mortgage, 1 billion dollars, was due on 666 5th Ave. A rundown building with virtually no occupancy?????

@Pitchblue I don't have those answers, Re: (Scotland)I know most development happens on investor's backing a project up.
@Iwillwait So who invests with Trump when no one will loan to him and he has multiple bankruptcies?

@Pitchblue You'd be surprised who would choose to align themselves with The President financially. Banks have a fiduciary responsibility to their Share Holders and risk management criteria that would take them out of the options for his funding. Private Sector is a whole different story.
@Iwillwait He was a private citizen then and Deutsche Bank said they didn't want to loan to Trump after becoming President because of the probability he would not pay the loans. I'm not sure when he got 60 mill to refurbish The Washington Hotel, which is losing money even with the Saudis paying to rent whole floors but never occupying the rooms.

@Pitchblue I understand he was a citizen, but still not your average Joe, his celebrity status does bring clout. Private Hard Money lenders may take the risk.
@Iwillwait I bet US lenders will still not lend to him.

@Pitchblue Private Investors may. Who knows, I am thinking most won't, but you never know. Regardless of where his financial backing comes from, he is a developer and will most likely keep doing long after this is all over.
@Iwillwait Hes in trouble financially now and that is a threat to the country with a President who does things his way regardless of the Law or the Constitution.

@Pitchblue So you believe he would abuse his Office for financial gain or policy/law making for financial gain?

I am not advocating that in any shape, but I cannot seem to figure out whom as president did not do that.

Maybe Reagan, maybe Lincoln.
@Iwillwait Trump is abusing his position for financial gain now. How did Jared get a 99 year lease paid up front for 666 5th ave? Why did Trump family and friends get stimulus money? Why is Trump Corp profiting on the Washinton Hotel and Mar A Lago plus every time Trump golfs. Why is this admin redirecting Air Force and the VP to Trump's property in Scotland. Again did he get loans from Russia and what will he do for Russia when hundreds of millions in loans comes due during his presidency? No other President has been in a position like this.
