And many of the same people complaining about Trump would have been defending clinton. Yes there is plenty of hypocrisy on both sides, my apologies if I implied otherwise. But there have been plenty of things Trump has been loudly criticized for that you barely heard a peep over when both Reps and Dems have done it in the past.
Just to give you an example, I've posted many times in this forum that I think both Biden and McConnell should be investigated for dealings in china where their family members allegedly made a lot of money....nobody really seems interested in it. But when Trump suggested that china should help investigate these allegations, people lost their freaking mind.
Oh, ok. Yes, there is hypocrisy all over.
Instead of giving another useless example of it, I'll just say that the reason we are supposed to accept Trump tweeting things like an upset child, insulting people including foreign allies, and lying when the facts are right there for all to see is because he was supposed to be different. He was supposed to be the billionaire to "drain the swamp" and make things better for the factory workers and cut government and fix healthcare and NOT BE LIKE THE USUAL POLITICIAN. That is what he said.
Instead, he has fixed none of that. He has made it better for people of above-average means like me and probably you. But our deficit and debt have gone from something to complain about to something to downright fear (even before COVID and worse now). There is no real manufacturing rebound. We have to put up with the same antics of other politicians but at much more intensity. We have severe polarization that he foments purposely for his benefit.
In other words, we put up with a lot of completely unpresidential (nearly anti-social) crap from him and the hypocrisy is just like every other politician. We are paying a high price for a couple of regs removed and abortion friendly judges. I am amazed at the free passes he gets for his failures from so many people that in the past were very critical of anyone in the Federal goverment like yourself. The change is drastic.
