/—-/ Yeah it was disgusting how Obozo spent 5 years blaming GWB for everything....Would you spend any time talking about the people whom you defeated in the contest?
I would not because, having won, the fitting place for people to focus their attention is on my accomplishments and subsequent pursuits, not on my competitors. To wit, aside from saying something like "they put up a good fight," do Super Bowl winners talk about what the other team did? Do any competitors in any event regularly and months and months later bring up, as the focus of a discussion, their competitors performance? Not that comes to mind. Instead they talk about what they are going to do going forward. Yet that is exactly what Donald Trump has been doing non-stop since having almost a year ago won the 2016 presidential election.
And what is there to come of it?
What his talking about someone and something other than governance and policy accomplishes just one thing. It's distracts attention from the performance of that which he and Congress are supposed to be doing. Of course, when there are few to no substantive merits in one's ideas, discussing anything other than one's own policy proposals, and one's efforts to effect them, reduces the time people have to discuss the dearth of merit one's intentions have.
- Robert Mueller's "Russia" investigation isn't going away until Mueller determines he's finished it, or until Trump fires him.
- The fact that Donald Trump is an inveterate liar will not be altered by discussing someone else.
- That Trump has the lowest first quarter approval rating of all POTUSes since WWII will not change.
- That Trump contracted [his term not mine] with the American people to achieve a variety of things in his first 100 days in office and got few of them done as and when claimed cannot be undone by discussing someone else. (Remember that contracts are binding only on the people who sign them.)
- That Trump has not seen passed the repeal and replacement of O-care is so regardless of whom else he talks about.
- Talking about someone else isn't going to change the fact that Trump's tax plan is vastly more favorable to wealthy people than to middle and lower income people, which is opposite of what Trump promised to do.
- Talking about someone else won't change the fact that, as a result of Trump's behavior, America is less well regarded by its allies and that allied foreign leaders don't trust him.
