The jury handed in the results on Trump even before he was elected. Corrupt, dirty, low life, scumbag. He stood no chance of being anything but the most corrupt president, weirdo.
Remember when mainstream GOPers tried to undermine his candidacy? They knew what they'd gotten into before he won the ticket so they held their noses and embraced him afterwards. I have no respect for them or their religious handlers. In God Money we trust is their motto.

All too well.

A lot of false dignity involved to hold their heads up high or to look any one in the eye. It's pretty gross up in there and that's saying something. I think the goal/hope was to make it less gross, the result is the ushering in of the grossest House Majority. It was some serious bile they had to swallow down but they did. All we're left with is evil robots now. I am completely disgusted.

I believe the trump admin is completely corrupt and incredibly damaging to the us but at least they didn't start a pointless war like the bush admin did.

Hell nah. What has Trump done that holds a candle to knowingly lying to the American public so that you can go to war (Vietnam & Iraq).

Knowingly lie every time he opens his mouth. Give as little shit about any life that's not his own as the presidents you're comparing him to. Treasonous and corrupt because it's his nature. Willing to sell America out. Capitalize on and encourage the worst in Americans. Violate and degrade women. Cheat on and cheat people... and there's more that with some certainty points to a willingness to throw any number of lives away to suit his very volatile, spiteful, greedy, gluttonous, malicious whims. He has an extremely narrow view of who doesn't classify as garbage people (Putin makes his non-garbage person list). Add that all up? He's too demented and dangerous to keep around to see what he might do.

Stop being a mindless tool, alright?

Really? You're eager to find out what he will do?

He's appointed only people who intend to destroy much needed programs designed to keep people breathing clean air and drinking clean water. He's gleefully raping the country. He's not only about sending our young away to die he's big on killing them on their own soil. Ugh, yuck. Call yourself small and dim, I'm too tired.

And he'll definitely start a war with NK
He doesn't need to. He's inciting enough home grown terrorists to get his death toll numbers up.

You're a complete lost cause darling. If you're defending anything about Trump there's not a single redeeming quality within you.

I would say Trump, but when one thinks about it, corruption has been widespread in several administrations. You have Johnson lying about Vietnam, Nixon with watergate, Regan with Iran contra, and who knows what else Cheney and his other cronies did to try to spread their ideas of democracy. Then you have the second Bush manufacturing evidence to justify a war that cost thousands of American lives and many times that in Iraq, both enemies and "collateral damage". And of course Clinton the Lewinski escapade, which imo is less serious, at least in effect, than the other abuses of power. If I had to pick one that I think was the most ethical president, it would have to be Carter. Not saying he was an effective president, be I do believe he was above corruption. I would also say the first Bush and Obama, whether one agrees with their policies or not, really did not have administrations riddled with corruption.

I would say it is the Trump administration, but I don't if there were other administrations that were even more corrupt but had the sense to hide it. Trump is arrogant and flaunts his corruption for all to see, kind of like Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me." He don't give two shits about anyone but himself and seemingly has no shame.

If you're saying that the recent mass shooters are batshit crazy leftists whose TDS drove them over the edge, I won't argue with you.

While Trump's has be the most openly corrupt administration, I have to wonder what we still don't know about the others. Especially Bush and the wars.

You were never meant to know. Both parties and subsequent Presidents don't want a close inspection.

Except that data shows that it's right wing terrorist groups that are surging under Trump. These are the people who believe that they will "make America great again" by eliminating immigrants, feminists, black people, and LGBT.

Who cares about pointless comparisons that have nothing to do with corruption?

You do know what corruption is yes?

Yes you say? Then yes, Trump is pretty damn corrupt. I suggest you start with Mr Kushner's oh so interesting real estate deals.

I looked in to it too. Trump loyalists are definitely batshit crazy or in other words... Insane in the membrane

Well, I personally wouldn't go that far. As a matter of fact I'd go much farther than you did when describing their absence of situational awareness, laziness of intellect and willful disregard of the real world that resides outside of the surreal confines of "The Trump Zone". ;)
