Why do some people keep bringing them up when asked questions about Donald Trump? Trump is president NOW. The buck stops with him. NOW. The decisions are his and his alone. NOW. How does bringing up the past do anything to facilitate/mitigate/ameliorate with regard to the situations we face TODAY? Is Trump only there to compare with what others did in other times or is he here now and responsible on his own alone? NOW?
Whew I just felt an arrow whiz past my head! Some people are intent on analyzing Trump's every move without giving a thought that he's doing nothing that past Presidents have not done. They've lied, broken promises, cheated, treated people (women) badly and completely forgotten their campaign promises.
It certainly is an indication of how Presidents/politicians past and present behave and, therefore, does come into the discussion. Trump is just a man he makes mistakes and pointing out that his behaviour is nothing new to the office of the President is a valid point to make.
