Anyone else find themselves "cleansing their palate" after seeing Trump?

In other words, you see footage of Trump acting a jackass and you feel compelled to then go watch footage of President Obama in the same setting when he was President just to get an idea of how a President should act?

I just watched President Obama's last address at the National Prayer Breakfast. It was respectful and dignified. Completely night and day.

I have turned off the news. Can't stand to hear his name, his voice, the word 'president' in front of his name. I will fight him with every breath, I will sign whatever someone puts in front of me to stop him, I will keep laughing at the stupids in my office whenever they say how great he is, I will continue to challenge the lies they spew, and ask them over and over "THIS is your guy?".
