Trump is all of those things, though, while also bringing new and hitherto unexplored depths of awful to the table. (And I don't remember people calling Bush a traitor.)
Oh, they did.

A big part of our current problem is we've overheated our rhetoric so much that criticisms of Trump sound exactly like criticisms of past presidents. We have no words to explain how he's different.

Yes. He is also a target of the probe.

When Trump raped one of his ex-wives he also defended Trump by saying under the law a husband forcing himself on his wife is not classified as rape.

With a serious local catastrophe. He has proven that he's quite unable/unwilling to read the mood wrt international catastrophes/tragedies. Hell, has he said/tweeted anything on the Portland Stabbing victims?

Lot of people bringing up Barron Trump in a dumb way lately, I don't think anyone ever cared about whether Obama's kids saw large mobs of angry people lynch and burn effigies of their dad.

A thought occurs to me with all the talk about Barron, when was the last time he has even visited his kid? must be 3 or 4 months by now.

There was a statement on the @POTUS account that was obviously not written by him. Nothing on @RealDonaldTrump, or heaven forbid, an actual live statement.

There are other kinds of catastrophes. Trump will have a Katrina. He will handle it worse than Bush.

According to Trump, on 9/11 he was in his apartment watching people jump off the Towers 4 miles away, in New Jersey watching thousands of Muslims celebrate, and at Ground Zero helping to clear rubble so I assume during a serious catastrophe he'll simply spread his arms and transcend the bonds of time and space again.

If you ask someone: Which party is more likely to try to cut Medicaid and similar programs the answer will always be the GOP. For someone who worked all his life he sure doesn't seem like he was alive during the tenure of any Republicans.

I mean it doesn't even matter if you think cutting it is a good or bad thing, just check the voting records. Just look at the party line, or hell just ask people around you with better memory than you.
This isn't even stupidity, this is willfully erasing reality from your mind and replacing it with fantasy.

Donald Trump will send humanitarian assistance and twitter well-givings to Russia after the first hurricane it has seen in over a century.

North Dakota will see zero in relief funds.

Edit: Meant North Carolina but at this rate who knows.
