[Hoot Gibson]

Don't forget Jack Kennedy.

Oh there is no need to review your posts, I remember them. But I'll tell ya one thing, if there were presidents facing much tougher obstacles than Trump's case, you or nobody else can find them among the examples you offered up in support of your statement. Trump has remained unflinching despite the fact that he's gotten nothing but the back of somebody's hand at every turn.

And in just hitting the some of the high spots, He is an innocent man, being hounded by possibly the most powerful prosecutorial force ever assembled; 24/7. They've gone after his family and his associates. NO president has ever had to face down his own DOJ before, and among the more noteworthy and powerful against him are the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the DNI, the DIA plus what, 10 more US intelligence agencies? A rabid left wing judiciary, several powerful news networks, literally hundreds of hate mongering billionaires and other men and women of means who've set up shop on the internet against him, Hollywood, members of foreign intelligence agencies, both Houses of the US Congress and certain among his own cabinet. And all this certainly not while dealing with trade issues and military issues of the ominous world powers of our age. And in a time when absolutely any information one may seek being hadable in nearly real time.

Trump doesn't need anybody's help against the weasels out there who want to see him fail. Let alone my own. TV didn't even exist for anybody you mentioned except Reagan. His enemies did do their worst with the way they used it at the time, but they were girl scouts compared to today's dog pack.

If by unflinching, you mean repeatedly threatening to veto spending bills that did not contain funding for a border wall and then signing spending bills that included no such funding, then you are correct, Trump has been unflinching. Presidents are in charge of and responsible for the Executive branch of our government. President Trump is the ultimate executive in our government. Your posts since he assumed that position would have us believe that he is a powerless victim of circumstance, when nothing could be further from the truth.



As for TV not existing in JFK's day, that would be news to Richard Nixon, whose loss to Kennedy in the 1960 election historians have attributed in part to his refusal to wear makeup in front of cameras during a televised, sweaty debate performance.


Besides, Americans did receive news from a biased media in the days before TV existed. AK 47s did not exist in Lincoln's day either, but people have been dying from gunshot wounds since before this nation was founded.
