    Both the above searches gives interesting results. Especially if you chose Video in the top Google menu. Quite entertaining.

    It's hard to forget that this actually is the president of the United States of America performing like that...

    I shows he is not all that smart. If he sets the precedent of prosecuting an ex-president, it may very well boomerang on him. One day, in the not too distant future, Trump will be an ex-president too...

    Hello Michiel,

    It's hard to forget that this actually is the president of the
    United States of America performing like that...

    MvdV> I shows he is not all that smart.

    Donald Trump is above average intelligence. Maybe not
    the stable genius he claims to be, but definitely above
    average. And he does have decades of experience in show
    biz, as the main star of his own reality tv show. So
    please, do give the guy credit where credit is due.

    MvdV> If he sets the precedent of prosecuting an ex-president, it may very well
    MvdV> boomerang on him.

    No US president has ever been prosecuted, or even indicted,
    for a crime. No former US president has ever been prosecuted,
    or even indicted, for a crime. However, many people believe
    if Trump wins a second term that he will have his AG prosecute
    not former vice president Joe Biden, but former US president
    Barack Obama.

    Not even Confederate President Jefferson Davis was ever
    indicted or prosecuted for any crime. After his side lost
    the war, he was apprehended and detained for a while, and
    then let go. Without ever having been charged.

    If Michelle Obama knows what is good for her, she will accept
    Joe Biden's offer for her to serve as vice president. About
    twenty minutes after being sworn into office, Biden will retire
    and Obama will become president.

    A lot of people thought that was the plan four years ago
    with Clinton. First she would win in a landslide. Then she
    would get rid of her vice president by naming him to the US
    Supreme Court (or some other job). Then she would nominate
    the other Clinton as vice president ...

    MvdV> One day, in the not too distant future, Trump will be an ex-president too...

    The president is always addressed as Mr. President,
    or President (name). Even long after he has left office.

    President Carter is still Mr. President, even at age 96,
    having left office on January 20, 1980.

    President Trump will still be Mr. President, regardless of his age.
    Or even if he is doing time.

    However, once a president is dead, he/she is no longer Mr. President.
    Or Madame President, as the case may be.

    So you haven't seen the news

    Did you?

    Q: Why is it so important to you to make this a global competition?

    A: Ask China.

    This to an Asian-American female reporter. I don't understand why China (as an entity, do you have a name and an address?) should have the answer to that question.

    Q: What crime are you accusing Obama of?

    A: OBAMAGATE!

    What type of crime is that actually, and how does US law define it?

    it's damn embarassing is what it is. And people STILL think he's a "stable genius" and "the smartest president we've ever had"

    One thing is for sure: you guys will have a heck of a time trying to repair all the foreign policy damages he's done in just e few years.

    a) Alienating and insulting most old allies while kissing up with dictators in Russia and North Korea.

    b) Trashing a lot of international treaties.

    c) Setting up high tariffs -- because the stupid SOB thinks that it's the other country that has to pay for it, rather than your own citizens.

    Hello Everybody,

    vitriol - n. something resembling acid to make caustic, corrosive,
    or biting. [The Merriam-Webster Dictionary]

    Even the Senate Republicans think Trump is wacky over this "Obamagate"
    bullshit.

    So you haven't seen the news but saw fit to comment anyway. It's a typical tactic of the left to attempt devalidating a situation by expressing how 'others' may be reacting to it. It is a premise based on a fallacy. It really
    shows that you lack the basis to make a point or lack a substantive opinion.
    If you gave me that, it would be met with respect.

    Trump is a damn embarassment.

    Instead I got vitriol.

    Daniel Traechin

    Well. Let me see. Does the entity known as Daniel Traechin
    get what he deserved? It might not have been what he wanted,
    but it certainly does appear to have been what he got.

    First, he claims others "haven't seen the news but saw fit to
    comment anyway." Not that Senate Republicans have anything better
    to do with their time, but still. Perhaps Mitt Romney, a Republican
    Senator from Utah, can explain to him what the duties of a US
    Senator are, and who they represent.

    He then goes on to claim "it's a tactic of the left to attempt
    devalidating a situation by expressing how `others' may be reacting
    to it." Since the exchange that took place was between the POTUS
    and a member of the press, his next statement contradicts what
    he had just said - "It is a premise based on a fallacy."

    What premise might that be? What fallacy might that be?

    President Trump made a claim. An outrageous claim, unsupported
    and unsubstantiated, that Barack Obama had committed a crime.
    A reporter from the Washington Post asked him about specifics
    of that claim. This was President Trump's response -

    "Obamagate. It's been going on for a long time. It's been going
    on from before I even got elected. And it's a disgrace that it
    happened." ~Donald J. Trump

    The reporter then pressed him to name the crime, which evoked
    President Trump to respond in the only way he knows how -

    "You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to
    everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except
    yours." ~Donald J. Trump

    So. There you have it. The POTUS is a legend in his own mind.

    Hello Björn,

    It took 4 years or so to dig out from Bush's idiocy. I'm thinking its
    going to take 16 to dig out from this...

    Assuming that you can start directly next year and don't have to wait another Trump term, because that will totally destroy USA.

    What a pity.

    USA was actually on the way to become great again, thanks to the Obama administration. And the rest of the world was there for the ride.

    Do you still have that old beat-up camper available for homeless
    visitors from across the pond?

    Not to worry. Trump's idiot children will save us!

    And if they don't, well, by then I'll be too old and grey to care,
    so it won't really matter anyway.
