6/4/20: Out of some twisted sense of civic duty, I feel I should follow Donald Trump on Twitter.
This morning, I logged on and found the following post from
the president. I decided it was time to do my speck as a citizen and respond:

First, let me apologize for my egregious grammatical error, which I assume you’ll notice. I will not insult your intelligence by pointing it out.
Second, Trump’s tweet got me thinking. What other differences
were there, related to Trump and Obama?
____________________
Trump
and Obama: Nothing in common.
____________________
I made a quick list:
A former member of Trump’s cabinet, Gen. James Mattis accused him of being a threat to the U.S. Constitution. No one in Obama’s cabinet ever said that.
Obama won the popular vote. Twice! Trump didn’t.
Obama inherited a mess when he took office. The U.S. economy had shed 3.6 million jobs in 2008. Trump inherited an economy which had added jobs for 76 consecutive months.
Obama didn’t whine about inheriting a mess, though he did.
Trump did whine about inheriting a mess and didn’t.
Obama believed climate change was a threat to humanity. Trump is unable to grasp basic science.
No one in the KKK ever said they approved of statements by
President Obama. Trump has many fans in that organization.
Trump slept with a porn star. Obama never.
Trump paid off the porn star, to keep her quiet. Obama didn’t
have to. He only slept with his First Lady.
Other former presidents like Obama. None of the surviving former presidents has any love for Trump. (George H. W. Bush didn’t either.)
Trump got impeached. Obama didn’t.
Obama worked out a deal to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Trump tore it up. Now he can’t get a replacement.
Trump once claimed that when Obama left office 93 million Americans were looking for jobs.
(Okay,
that one was just stupid.)
No member of Obama’s cabinet had to leave office in the face of multiple investigations into ethics violations. Scott Pruitt, Trump’s pick to lead the EPA, did.
No member of Obama’s cabinet had to leave office after
racking up $1 million in expenses for personal travel – and charging taxpayers.
Tom Price, Trump’s first choice to head up Health and
Human Services, did.
Trump’s Secretary of Labor, Alex Acosta, had to resign after it became widely known he had let the sexual predator, Jeffrey Epstein, off with a slap on the wrist. Obama’s name was in no way linked to Epstein.
Trump rode on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita
Express,” several times. Obama never did.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson once called Trump a “fucking moron.” No member of his cabinet ever called Obama a moron, let alone a “fucking moron.”
Mr. Trump suffers from a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Mr. Obama doesn’t.
Obama left office with a 57.2 percent average approval rating. Trump hasn’t broken 50 percent yet.
