Hypocritical liberal media goes bananas over Trump tweet
Hypocritical liberal media goes bananas over Trump tweet...
Donald Trump tweet-
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
Obama was just as wrong to engage in yah-boo schoolboy threats as Trump was.
Chronic diehard psychopathic megalomaniacs like Kim jong-un do not respond to reason and to enter into a protracted 'tit for Tat' war of words with his kind of psychotic only serves to demean the office of the President of the United States of America.
It would have been better to have let him bluster away unanswered thus giving him enough rope with which to hang himself on the international political stage.
Obama used the same language, and we were told how wonderfully mature he was. So was it four year old language from Obama, and if so, why no liberal outrage?
If it wasn't ok for past Presidents why is it suddenly ok for Trump? Why do you constantly excuse his childish actions by trying to point the finger at other people who are not the current President of the United States?
And your outrage is where? Do you not see the hypocrisy on the Right for always trying to excuse Trumps actions for something they would have BLASTED any Lefty for doing?

But we didn't condemn Obama for saying it. That's the point.
Except your "proof" of said hypocrisy was cherry picking a few words and not taking into consideration the entirety of his speech including lamentations of actions should they occur. He stated a fact, we 'could' do this....and stated a reason or reasons why we shouldn't. Comparing the two statements is like comparing apples to oranges.
There is also a very large difference from what you are cherry picking from his statement vs. what Trump said.
Obama:"Mr Obama gave warning of the possible consequences. “We could, obviously, destroy North Korea with our arsenals,” he told CBS News. “But aside from the humanitarian costs of that, they are right next door to our vital ally, [South] Korea."
Obama was stating a fact and added the concerns regarding it. Trump, the current President, is having a pissing contest. One of many that he's had so far. At the very least his actions are not indicative of a person who should be held to standard higher than that of a 3rd grader.
My statement was in regards to what Obama said. I wasn't calling into question the truthfulness of Trumps statement, merely the quality of professionalism from our President.
My defense was to your claim that what Obama stated was comparable to what Trump stated. They were not. Neither one lied, the execution of statement is what's called into question. Obama stated we could but followed up with why we shouldn't because of the loss of life. Trump stated we could and followed up with how large his piss stream is.
Most world leaders use similar or harder language. Most leaders in all of human history used similar or harder language. The fact is that the liberal snowflake-ization of some of the West is what is new.
Are you interested in quotes from past Presidents, Islamic leaders, North Korean leaders, or perhaps Britain's own Winston Churchill?
Are any of them the current President of the United States? The man needs to stop acting like a petulant child stomping around the playground and start acting like the leader that we need in this country......and he needs to get the heck off of twitter.
Are any of them the current President of the United States?
Obama claimed Trump would never be a President, so Trump must not be President.
The man needs to stop acting like a petulant child
He actually demonstrates behaviors that he learned from all of those years as a liberal. Liberals tend to do and say eccentric things. Libs used to love his antics.
stomping around the playground and start acting like the leader that we need in this country
The economy, market, and job growth are at record levels. It's almost unbelievable.
and he needs to get the heck off of twitter.
Obama tweeted constantly. We conservatives lived through it.
Obama claimed Trump would never be a President, so Trump must not be President.
So what if he claimed that? Most people did and look what happened, Trump still is.
So it's Liberals who are to blame for Trump, a grown man, acting like a petulant child? Still trying to excuse his actions but reaching pretty far for the rest of that. That orange in a wig is trash TV incarnate, which is probably why you work so hard to excuse everything he does by blaming everyone else.
So it's Liberals who are to blame for Trump, a grown man, acting like a petulant child
I wouldn't say it's libs fault how he acts. I would say it's libs fault that he got elected. Trump was a repudiation of the left's toxic version of identity politics. He was also running against the worst candidate the libs have ever offered up.
He probably wouldn't need it if the media would show the people his achievements or defend him, but alas, if you're a Republican, the left and its media army relentlessly tries to destroy you. He has to use twitter to even have a mainstream media voice.
He was doing a show of force. Right or wrong, is he President now? Do you think the current President of the United States should have a more professional attitude being in the position that he is in?
Again though, the hypocrisy in this particular instance is only measured on a half truth. You cherry picked a statement and tried to incorrectly compare it to this.
Do you think the current President of the United States should have a more professional attitude being in the position that he is in?
"Professional" is a semantical word that is defined by whoever is using it and who they are using it against. It can mean anything. Is the economy, job growth and the stock market at record levels? Yes. Are companies giving out bonuses, upping minimum wages, and upping 401K plan contributions? Yes. Professional? You tell me.
I think you want it to be semantics because otherwise your choice for President is screwed. He holds the highest office in the US, he needs to be held up to a higher standard than trash TV.
The "liberal media" has threatened nuclear war against North Korea? This is most interesting, bronto. Except, there are just a few small problems. First, no it hasn't. Second, the (American) media is not "liberal" and this was proven in 1988 by Herman and Chomsky's exhaustive study of the last fifty years of American media history. And third, I don't want the planet I live on destroyed by nuclear warfare because of a pissing contest between two equally stupid, narcissistic, despotic world leaders.
