My problem is with people like you and sam80, who keep making excuses for Trump and trying to say he is just like all the other politicians when clearly he is not.

In much the same way that sam80 was trying to equate Barton and D’Souza with Zinn and Chomsky. Trying to obfuscate the glaring and salient differences by focusing on the similarities that aren’t relevant to the topic.

Yeah, I get it. I’m just not as worked up about Trump as you are. The country elected Donald Trump, and he’s acting like Donald Trump. I don’t see the purpose of the perpetual apoplexy over the fact that he behaves precisely like one would expect, and I suspect that it is actually very useful to his cause. Truthfully, I am more concerned for the psychological well being of some friends in the event that he is re-elected, which is not at all unlikely. They are already in a toxic spiral.

None of the other people you mentioned in this post have ability to launch a nuclear strike to assuage their egos. None of them are hurting the integrity of the US because their lies make them look like buffoons.

It matters WHAT the lies are and WHY they are told. The fact that you don’t understand the difference between Trump’s lies and the lies of other politicians says more about you than them.
