Obama was attacked by Fox News nonstop for 8 years. He threw jabs at them and was obviously frustrated with the way they covered his administration. But the difference between how Obama treated Fox and how Trump is treating the MSM is night and day and it goes directly to my point.That’s fine and very well may be an accurate description of both men, however my pint still stands. They way they carry themselves and how they treat others, especially their opposition determines how they are viewed by the masses and Trumps style is distained by many which is why there is so much backlashYou are talking politics, I’m talking character. Trump is an in your face gutter rat shit talker. That causes a visceral reaction in many and why so many are so deeply opposed to him. Even those who don’t follow politics either love him because he represents a “fuck you” to government or they hate him because he represents and egomaniac bullyOf course they are dicks to him, he talks shit about them non stop. Trump is a villan, he picks on people like a school yard bully. Obama stood for hope and was inspirational. Put politics aside and just look at each mans character and how they represented themselves and our country. That’s why they are being treated different.
You think Obama wasn't just as much a villain to those who opposed HIS vision of what America should be? The Obama White House used the IRS against it's political opponents. The Obama White House used FISA courts to spy on it's political opponents. The Obama White House deliberately lied to the American people about the Affordable Care Act...thinking they were too stupid to understand what was going to be passed! The Obama White House waged a war against the entire fossil fuel industry attempting to shut down both coal production, off shore oil drilling and fracking.
Obama may have been "inspirational" to you if you believe in big government interfering in the lives of every day Americans but if you believed in the Constitution he was a complete "villain"!
Barack Obama may be smooth...he may be adept at reading from a teleprompter like a well seasoned news anchor but that doesn't make his "character" any better than Donald Trump's! Trump is New York City personified. He IS an in your face...won't back down bully...because in the world he worked in that's what's required! Barack Obama is a politician. A Chicago political machine politician to be exact. He represents a "fuck you" to people that believe government should play by the rules.
If that's an accurate description of both men...then how does your point still stand? Obama didn't have to get in the face of the media because again let's be honest...the media almost always went along with the narrative that the Obama White House was putting out. Why would Barry fight with those who didn't go after him? Trump on the other hand has been attacked by the media from the moment he was named the GOP's nominee. He's been in a never ending fight with people who obviously hate his guts for beating the candidate that they supported wholeheartedly.
