Who was the BEST leader who ever existed and the WORST? Why do you think so? Excluding religious figures.
There are two noteworthy points about your reply.
The first is unimportant, yet it’s worth the mention that my post was a question, it was not a statement.
Much more significant however is that, you are either inadvertently attempting to change the meaning of your post, or via equivocation, you deliberately substituted the meaning of a given word in one context for another context that is inappropriate in order to make your argument.
Allow me to explain.
I know, you never said “most of” and I agree that you mentioned “some”.
However, your post is unmistakable and it clearly says QUOTE “Some of the supposed "chaos" is actually just a lot of whining from sore losers.” UNQUOTE
“Some” in your sentence clearly refers to chaos!
The rest of that sentence “…is actually just a lot of whining from sore losers.”
You are not limiting “the sore losers” in any way.
I think I am perfectly accurate about what you wrote, or do you disagree? This post was edited by Grasshopper at August 4, 2017 5:45 AM MDTOK Randy, the subject clearly touches a raw nerve with you, so please give me some slack. I understand why you find it tedious to hear people complain about your president, especially if it is such a relentless attack. Still, “it’s a free country”, is it not?
Call it whining or griping and your annoyance is self-evident however, if we demand respect for our opinions, we really ought to return the compliment.
Let me ask you a question. Is the POTUS behaving like a competent leader? If your answer were to be ‘Yes, he is a competent leader’, then our discussion would be over.
As for foreign leaders’ opinions about the POTUS, I see, read, and I hear the news from around the world. Over the last six months, clear signs of contempt directed at Trump have emerged from many countries as well as from their leaders, even from those he hasn’t insulted … yet … , so I feel vindicated in asking my earlier question.
If only he would begin or perhaps if he would just show signs of trying to behave anything like a competent president, many people would presumably begin to shut up. Unfortunately, there seems to be a fat chance of the POTUS changing his outrageous ways in the near future, so why not just let those voters complain until they’re blue in the face, or until the POTUS is gone?I see no problem comparing them.
Objectively, "Honest" Abe was one of the worst US Presidents ever.
While I don't like Trump's Presidency so far ... at least he hasn't caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
And while he rants against the media ... he hasn't jailed any journalists or editors for speaking against him.
That's what I "diagnosed" him as prior to the election.
But I've been saying for decades that America is heading this direction.
Charismatic leader ... heavily divided electorate ... increasing ethnic tensions
It's all heading towards a collapse, if you ask me.
