Your argument is like saying one is better than the rest because one only beats his wife once a week and the rest does it 6 times a week. We are supposed to be living in a democracy in the USA in comparison to the rest you have mentioned. Hardly a level playing field to try to exonerate Trump’s negatives.
Exonerate? Mmmm, I don't think so.
That's not really an appropriate analogy though is it? There's a period of turmoil at present but in essence Trump's history. Well, at least until late 2024. At which point he will of course be 78. Far too old to start a 4 year spell as leader of the free world. Ohh - wait a minute!
"Love" wasn't mentioned, or inferred, but if you think what I say's wrong try posting something critical of those dictators. Usually, you won't have to wait long before the pitter patter of tiny minds rushing in to defend. Normally in the form of "We've heard it all before. It's MSM nonsense" or such. That, no matter what they get up to. Those who'll float the most nebulous (absurd) conspiracy theories as being the obvious truth will normally contemptuously dismiss the likes of in yer face Russian shenanigans as fairy tales.
I think you're being very kind to RH in saying "a little defensive" I suspect he might even be a tad offended at that luke warm description
Nevertheless, all of those despots - because they certainly fit that definition - unlike Trump, have considerable blood on their hands. By that I mean the real bullet/bomb/state executions/assassination stuff, not victims of a pandemic. Moreover, again unlike our man Don, all of them will likely rule until either they decide not to, die naturally or somebody whacks them. Yet, they and their actions rarely appear on the forum (who would dare!
), whereas criticism of Trump's gaffes and idiocies form a daily diet. What are you all going to talk about when he's gone??

(yes, what’s good for the goose, it’s also good for the gander), however, Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump, so what does that tell you, that either Trump could have gotten 14 million more votes or that 15 million more voters than what Hillary received in 2016 hated Trump to vote against him. The bottom number is, Trump lost by a landslide in popular vote and electoral college. Time to move on as soon as Trump accepts his defeat or when he gets evicted from the White House on January 20th.
Well, that's all a bit obfuscating but what it seems to tell me is that Paphitis was right and your assertion Trump was a victim of mass rejection doesn't really bear up. Whatever the stats and despite all the histrionics clearly he lost though and it's bye-bye Don time.
I sincerely hope Biden doesn't turn out to be an "I told you so" President. I think you get a better idea of the next 4 years by looking at those behind him. He's obviously just a congenial front man.
