Literally Trump who later became president made a big deal about birth certificate.


"trump says something dumb" more news at 11

the presidency is not "not saying dumb things"

it's signing or rejecting bills.


The president is the face of leadership for the country. The way they address the country and the things they say is unquestionably a huge part of the presidency.


he was never anyone's president. it's been 4 years of "never trump"


So, people who say "never trump", their words hold value?

But Trump making lies up about Obama don't hold their value?

Inconsistencies abound. Not a surprise.


uh no. Trumps words dont hold value. Where have you been?

"Trump says something dumb at 11"

But yeah, the never trumpers words do, theyve been fantastically consistent.


Just because Trump is/says something dumb doesn't mean his words don't have value.

A random person on twitter saying "never trump" doesn't have the same value.


there were however, millions of them and there still are.


They can say "not my president" all they want, just as Trump can say he won the election, when he clearly didn't.

One of those is far more impact, though. One of those is a person who runs the executive branch of the strongest government in the world. The other is someone making a post on twitter. To compare the two is wrong - period.


No. the other side is millions of emotional people with incorrect data posting on twitter getting everything wrong but then getting retweeted thousands of times based on a headline.

bless you that you think that doesn't do anything and is beyond analysis.


That’s a normative assumption. A lot of people pick presidents based on different merits like personality traits or demeanor.


the closer you get to saying you want to have a beer with them, the longer my eyes will roll


My statement was a general observation, going personal about it and then insulting me is not very charitable.


There is nothing in my statement that is personally insulting to you.
