“Trump divided this country.”
The division goes back to when Ronald Reagan was POTUS. Before him Jimmy Carter was made fun but it was in the good natured way that almost every president was made fun of by the public and the media. They made fun of him for being a peanut farmer, and having a brother who was a self-described beer drinking redneck. There was even a beer named after him; Billy Beer (I still have a can of it). The point is that it was humor, and it came from both sides of the isle.
Things took a turn when Reagan was POTUS. That was when the left began it’s campaign of hatred. Gone was the humor, and it was replaced by vitriol. All manner of personal attacks. The left literally HATED Reagan.
Each successive Republican POTUS was subject to worsening hatred. GHW Bush was next to draw their hatred, then GW Bush was treated in an appalling manner. Even an animated film depicting his assassination and the celebration of it was produced and distributed.
Then Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. No sooner did he ride down the escalator at Trump tower than the left started on him. Trump didn’t take the high road like the GOP presidents before him. Trump is a fighter and he knew that turning the other cheek didn’t work for Reagan or either Bush.
Make no mistake, it’s a flat out lie that Trump divided the nation. Those of us who have been alive and awake for decades know what a blatant lie it is.
Now the left will try to counter with the things we said about Obama, Clinton, and Sleepy Joe and it’s true, we said those things. But the point is that it DID NOT start with Trump.
