Trump is asking the wrong question

Treasonous Trump Demands Democrats Treat Him Like They Treated Barack Obama

This time, as Democrats go full-speed ahead on impeachment, the president’s freak-outs are becoming increasingly laughable and somewhat pathetic.
<snip>

On any level, comparing the current disgrace in the White House with Barack Obama – a man of character who led a scandal-free administration for two full terms – is the very definition of insanity.

But the real question Trump should be asking in his tweets is this: Can you imagine how the Republican Party would react if Barack Obama committed even a fraction of the impeachable and treasonous offenses that this current president has? - PoliticusUSA


You only need to reverse Obama for tRump to realize how far gone the rethuglican party has gone.

Same way Chump treated Obama - Rudely! Hatefully! Without mercy!

That's what Chump deserves.

It seems to work so far. This is about him, his actions and behaviors and what is happening right now.

When will people tire of the logical fallacies he uses? The deflection, whataboutism and false equivalencies are glaringly obvious. When it points at him, he points over there and says, "What about...?" Oh, come on. It's glaringly transparent and more of sign of guilt and culpability than anything else. It is not even crafty, it is just plain evasive. Answer the damn questions, Agent Orange!

This is a most cowardly tactic and I find it infuriating and frustrating that the sensationalism of the media has them running for any of these fallacy bones he tosses out. They should be calling that out. Are they concerned that logical fallacies are too much for people to learn about and utilize to discredit the tactic?

Really, it is just incredible that this stuff flies around like confetti and it is given any credence at all. That's not just Trump's fault here. He uses them, but they are being taking seriously and entertained as if relevant.

Enough!
