Why does Trump get such an easy pass?

[OliverQ]

This phenomenon is truly mind blowing to me. Is the man actually the Anti-Christ and has some mystical sway over people?

Erin Burnett on CNN said that "if Trump solves the North Korea issue, he will go down as a great president, no doubt about it."

Even if he helped with the NK situation which is a very big if, how does that excuse the million other crimes, lies, and corruption he's guilty of? How does one good thing wipe clean all the horrible things?

He's not in office legitimately. He can never be viewed as good, no matter what he does.

I'm so fed up with people letting him off the hook for everything, including the so called left-wing media.

1. Because he's a Republican. Different set of rules and expectations apply.

[a kennedy]

2. and the damn repubs ARE in control of EVERYTHING.

[ananda]

3. Never forget that the MSM is essentially rightwing corporate.

And hardly ever fair and balanced.

And then there's all those ratings from 45's never-ending
bloviating and off-the-cuff policy making.

4. I feel the same way

It's like he can commit any crime, utter any lie, break any law, and no one does anything about it. Why do we even have laws?

7. Like he said before...he could kill someone on 5th Ave

and no one would care. I have a feeling that Putin has evidence of wrongdoings on his part to blackmail him. Most people think it has to do with sex but I have been listening and thinking about it and I believe it has to do with money laundering and his businesses tied to Russia (possibly as far back as the 90s).

We have to punish PUTIN AND THE GOP for allowing it to continue.

8. Absolutely! He needs to be held accountable! He is nothing but a criminal!

5. In the Air Force we said that 1,000 Attaboys were wiped out by one Aw Shit.

In Trump's case, it sounds like 1,000 Aw Shits can be wiped out by one Attaboy.

Is a puzzlement.

Actually, I don't think giving the North Koreans the validation they've been seeking for decades is worth even one-tenth of an Attaboy, but with Trump the bar has been set so low...

6. I agree that as a corrup racist he can never be viewed as good. But if he somehow

hit it off with Little Kim and started significant movement toward peace, I’d give him credit for that, with an asterisk. Don’t expect it to happen, but you get too scoundrels together, something unexpected MIGHT happen.

Ironically, if something good happened, his base would hate him for not bombing NK.

9. It's not just the fact that he's a Republican. His followers see themselves in him.

And they like what they see.

Racism. Misogyny. Xenophobia. They approve because they are selfish, greedy, fearful hatemongers.

Right down to his so-called Christianity. No true follower of Christ would support this evil being, but these modern-day hypocritical Pharisees... well they are enthusiastic supporters.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Nothing is more frustrating to me.

He is literally the worst person in the world and has been for a long time. And nothing, NOTHING, has caught up with him yet. I want nothing more than to see this disgusting excuse for a human being to get what he deserves and I hope it is brutal.

[Awsi Dooger]

14. Same

The old saying about it's not how you start it's how you finish needs to apply to Donald Trump more than anyone. I don't care what it is as long as he ends up a disgraced laughingstock.

History will treat him poorly but that won't matter if his life ends minus the stain of infamy.

[thinkingagain]

11. I know it drives me crazy its like

If he shit in the middle of the street in broad daylight his people would run over to him pat him on the back tell him he’s awesome wonderful great etc all because he didn’t shit on the side walk where people would have to step around it.

12. I do not understand Trumps power to control people.

He seems to just suck them in.

13. Ryan and McConnell are his enablers, they should be the focus not Benedict Donald
