It recently occurred to me that the Democrat/MSM campaign to remove President Trump from office does not involve a comparison with what other Presidents have done but rather to some higher standard. For example, should FDR have been impeached for interning Japanese Americans? Truman for bombing Hiroshima? JFK for authorizing the murder of SVN President Diem? LBJ for the Vietnam War? Reagan for aiding the Contras? Bush for WMDs? Clinton for corruption? Obama for unauthorized payments to terrorists?
Are President Trump's alleged transgressions really worse than those of these former Presidents? Or is he being held to a higher standard than any other President?
Most of what you posted is kind of skewed. The internment camps were started in the early fog of war and what the people favoring honestly perceived as self preservation. JFK authorizing assassination of Diem was totally against policy, but not sure I would not have supported the hit, if I was old enough to read the papers. Beside, Kennedy faced the ultimate coup for reasons we will never be sure of. Johnson escalated and doubled down on Kennedy policy until he realized the truth, that the people we were hand picking and supporting were no better than the ones we fought against, and the domino theory was just a talking point, He could have doubled down again, but he self impeached by refusing to run and be a part of it anymore. You left out Nixon. The lying, corrupt crook was impeached constitutionally and the Republicans rightly told him to get out or he would be thrown out. Some people talked about impeaching "Father Ron", but he really was a great communicator, ;and he gave up the perfect scapegoat who took the entire blame for running an illegal war under table and trading arms to Iran out of his office in the basement of the White House. He got a pardon for his crimes, and a career as a right wing mouthpiece. I did not favor the pardon, but it was Bush's prerogative and he later kicked the crap out of Iraq's invading army and sent them back to Baghdad or straight to hell. By the way, your put Bush out of order. After Daddy Bush, we had Clinton and unlike you I distinctly remember him being impeached. It was in all the papers. They have even referred to it on FOX NEWS recently. Baby Bush was a dope and he was used by his handlers to start the 2nd Iraq war. We had a perfectly good war of righteous vengeance seeking the terrorist ass hole that sent planes to attack civillian targets within our own country, but it was slow. He wasn't showing progress and recruiting of patriots to defend us was way up, see they convinced him to start another war. Beware large standing armies. There will always be cabals in this country that want to put them to use. There never was much of a push to impeach because the lie of WMDs was successfully sold and too many people had egg on their face. That lying toad Hillary even bought into it. I don't remember much about Obama payments to terrorist. It must not have been a big deal. He only had majority support early in his term. The Republicans must not have thought it impeachable.
Trump seemed like he was probably corrupt before he was elected. He didn't break into any computers, but used stolen information from the break-in. He invited Russia to break in to computers and two days later, they did and he relished every bit of support the Russian stolen information could generate for him, appearently while his underlings coordinated to receive the stolen merchandise. Then everybody associated with him started lying about it, and obstructing justice to hide crimes, and tampering with witnesses and going to jail. He is a more crooked president than we have seen lately and has always acted like the biggest ass hole president in my memory, often taking actions or making states for the supposed joy of pissing off Democrats.
He will be impeached, not because a different standard is applied, but because the constitutional standard is standard enough. Although, it could be argued Americans can stomach a liar and crook better if he is not a liar and a crook and an obnoxious asshole.
