Just NO, WaPo Just stop the false equivalency. It's old and makes no sense...

Nos. 44 and 45 broke the mold. What does that mean for the future of the presidency?

Fuck you WaPo.

1. What the everlovin'....

I thot WaPo reported reasonably.

Who wrote this BS.

Dolt45 broke our country and the expected and deserved standard of living for many.

2. That isn't what the article meant by breaking the mold. It wasn't equating 44 and 45

This is the mold he is talking about that was broken:


"For more than two centuries, until the election of 2008, American presidents all looked alike. They were white and male and every one of them came to office with experience in the government, military or both. Barack Obama, the first African American president, broke one mold. Donald Trump, who had neither military nor government experience, broke the other."

Unfortunately, I think it is a pay wall, but it has little to do with policy and issue, and more to other factors:

3. That's exactly what a false equivalence is

Ignoring highly relevant and material differences in order to make a more meaningless assertion that they have done something similar.

Yes Obama was the first black president.
Yes Donald fraud is the first president without government or military experience.

Otherwise, Obama was extremely normal and Donald fraud has committed multiple crimes, multiple impeachable offenses, trampled all over ethical norms, and displayed complete contempt for a majority of America.

But let's ignore all that and focus on the little bit of trivia they have in common.

5. A meaningless article with a clickbait title
