What if Obama said the things Trump has said?

[Aegon]

You mean like...

"bitter clingers"

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Where's the lie though?

"get in their face"

I don't know what's wrong with this one? He said to be passionate and argue with your conservative friends, neighbors, etc. Do you think it was promoting violence? Because I'm pretty sure he never asked a crowd to physically assault people. You know who did, I assume.

"the police acted stupidly"

He apologized and said he regretted saying that. Do you remember the last time our current president did that?

"if they bring a knife..."

Another one I don't see the problem with? Do you uh... Do you think he was talking about literal knives or guns? Or a metaphor to describe the brutality of the campaign trail? Which do you think is more likely?

and my favorite...

"if you like your plan you can keep your plan..." bald. face. lie.

False and terribly misleading. Agreed.

But to pretend that Trump and Obama gave the same amount of bold faced lies would be ignorant in its truest definition. And to pretend that your examples even TOUCH the unbelievably dumb, childish things that come out of Trumps mouth is asinine. Those are some examples from 8 YEARS. Do you know how many lines I can show you just from Trumps first 100 days? Stop pretending he isn't unique in his "way with words'
