I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.

Okay, I was looking for a fight because I have utter contempt for most Presidents/nominees . As much as I despise Trump, I am equally repelled by Obama, Clinton, and others. I was in no mood for badly flawed POTUS being hyped beyond recognition.
@Jolly_Esquire Yeah, the womanizer responsible for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, who brought us to the brink of nuclear war over Cuba, Vietnam.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@theonlyadult @BarackObama This is hype beyond which even Trump is capable. This man doubled an unsustainable national debt,warred on others— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@tpowers6pack @realDonaldTrump Obama and the rest of the Intolerable Left is exactly how Trump got elected. Obama lost control of Congress.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@pauliebird2 We waited 8 years of the slowest economic recovery in US history to get rid of this incompetent bastard.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@MrsStinkFingers Yeah, it was George W. Bush, not that incompetent bozo in your picture.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@Phonda_Deone @POTUS44 Guess again, fascist. Obama was none of those things. He had a paper-thin resume going into office, out of office.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@MikeLevinCA This is the populist so vain for a third term in office, that he handed Woodrow Wilson the Presidency, huge mistake.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@gigirules7 Lincoln "sacrificed" the Constitution and the next generation to the bloodiest, most unnecessary war in American history.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@SilverAdie You are in a state of denial. Clinton was the second most unpopular politician in modern history. More than 250M didn't vote HRC— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
@Kamgirl47 WRONG, IDIOT! She barely won a plurality of voters, and more than half of Americans didn't vote.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
It takes chutzpah for someone to think he's qualified. This country was built despite Presidents, not because of them. #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
All the illiberal alt-left fascists are paying homage to their failed authoritarian wannabe Presidents of the recent past. #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
If you think Obama made for a passable President, then you are too easily satisfied. He laid the groundwork for Age of Trump. #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
I was not for Trump, but the leftists spamming this hashtag are making his case. "Elections have consequences." - Obama. #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
Jeff Jacoby, columnist for the Boston Globe, reminds us of the last great Democrat POTUS, Grover Cleveland. https://t.co/Jjd0Ar6Fuf— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
Grover Cleveland set the standard for Presidential integrity. He vetoed hundreds of bills, supported free trade, sound money. #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
When is the last time since Grover Cleveland you had a fiscally conservative, pro-trade, anti-intervention Dem nominee? #PresidentsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
Trade wars. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Who starts them? Morally corrupt economic illiterates. https://t.co/wM6wibqzAY— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
The fact that Yiannopoulos has been removed as CPAC keynote speaker is a necessary, insufficient step. No mainstreaming of alt-right #CPAC— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
It's bad enough that Richard Spencer, another alt-right piece of garbage, tried to invade a pro-liberty gathering over the weekend.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
I hold Trump responsible for the alt-right cockroaches coming out of the woodwork emboldened by his morally corrupt, fear-mongering rhetoric— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
This is Soft Rock America, reminding Trump he'll never be reelected if he breaks our trade-enriched economy: https://t.co/04hHB2gNuy— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 20, 2017
It must be something in the water of Washington state. SCOWA rules against the economic liberty of florists; Bill Gates wants robots taxed.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
Now Trump is trying to blame the Swedish rape incident kerfuffle on FNC coverage. He's hoping that anti-FNC leftists will go for the bait.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
How pathetic is it that Defense Secretary Mattis has to reassure the Iraq government that the US will not steal the nation's oil. Trump!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
Let's go to Trump's latest job approval rating: 40%. No other first-term POTUS has gone under 50% this early in his Presidency. Bush had 62%— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
It would be one thing if Trump lost popularity over principle. Trump gets in trouble because he has no self-discipline, can't set priorities— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
The immigration and trade fights go beyond Trump's economic illiteracy. Unauthorized immigration is down over the last decade. Trade win-win— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
Maybe 90% of job losses in manufacturing since the 1970's is due to production efficiency, not to temporary trade-related displacement.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017
We all know about Washington and the cherry tree myth.Can you imagine the myths the alt-right has for Trump?Like he called ICE on his nanny?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 21, 2017

Facebook Corner
[responding to my point about Trump's state of denial in the campaign about and initial reluctance to disavow former KKK leader and supporter David Duke, which the alt-right troll labeled "pragmatic".]
It's political opportunism and a lack of personal integrity. Trump has always spoken his mind, and he specifically criticized Duke twice on the record during the 90's/2000 campaign. Then 16 years later, he has politically convenient amnesia. Look how long it took for him to speak out against his supporters in Boston pissing on a sleeping Latino homeless man.
It's called integrity, and Trump has none of that. Recall that Duke won the LA GOP nomination during Bush 41's Presidency, and Bush and the GOP refused to support him. That wasn't "pragmatism". That was principle.

I hate to point out the fact that the offer to make Washington king is a myth, was promoted by a colonel (Nicola) who was expressing a private opinion with no popular mandate. https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/gbi/docs/kingmyth.html
