RBG and Scalia: life goals.

Upvoted because true

I would also like this: And we used to have an America like this

In our lifetimes even!

But then Trump came along

He has ruined all of this. Really he has.

I’m not aware of any pictures that exist of him hanging out with all the former Presidents like this. He hates them all, basically. But plenty exist without him.

Your homework assignment is to prove me wrong. I’d love to see such pictures if they exist.

Vote Biden if you want it back.

I don't think you really believe it by the very fact you can't even agree and upvote without spewing more hatred toward the current president. Nice job not doing what my meme suggests.

These tweets are a deep dive, from the very weeks after he won the last election.

Some folks like myself were optimistic that after the ‘16 election, he would shed his prickly campaign persona and grow into the office of President

Well?

Were we right?

No, we were wrong.

Four years later: nothing compels me to afford the President more respect than he affords the American people on a daily basis.

Your insistence on respect should start at the top.

200,000 plus dead and dying.... there is not enough hate to spew at him. f**k him and his tramp family, the sooner he is gone, the sooner the Nation can heal and get back to normal.

I found a few pictures of Prez. Trump with former presidents but none with Biden. Things that make you go hmmm.

It took less than a minute. It wouldn’t actually be hard to find Biden with other presidents considering his Senate ranking through the years and 8 years as veep.

The more telling fact is that politicians and former presidents alike don’t want to associate with Trump because (as Alec Baldwin once famously said tohis own daughter) he is “a rude, thoughtless little pig.”

None of the Bushes wanted anything to do with him. Bush Sr. called him a blowhard. Bush Jr. said Trump didn’t know what it meant to be President. He was essentially banned from Barbara’s funeral. He attacked Bush Jr. for appealing to the protestors and rioters amid the George Floyd protests to calm down.

He alienates his friends and cozies up to his enemies. He is the single most polarizing figure in politics since I don’t even know who.

OrangeManBad

Yeah

Pretty much

Oh, and if you're really that worried about Trump having pictures with other presidents

There’s at least one photo out there! Good job!

Thank you for answering the challenge.

Trump still hates all of their guts, and it ain’t hard to tell. He’s said as much.

Lol, a handshake line with Reagan.

That was so long ago it doesn’t count.

Why shouldn't it count just cause it was a long time ago?

A picture of Trump with the other living presidents at Bush Sr.’s funeral, and then one from thirty years prior where Trump probably paid big money for the photo op.

I’m convinced!

That's more pictures than Biden has in his 50 years in politics, lol.

Hahahahaha no.

They gave a picture, I gave similar pictures in return

That was way before he developed the insane revisionist policies and malign view of other recent American presidents that he holds and promotes today.

Check his 2000 platform when he ran for the Reform Party, even as late as then he was pretty reasonable, though some similarities can be detected with his 2016 platform.

It wasn’t until about 2011 that he started to promote birther nonsense etc.

And indeed. He used to be a Democrat as well!

The MAGA worldview is a crazy twist in a much longer history.

Those tweets were so long ago they don't count ;)

No, those tweets launched his MAGA persona and are the reason his supporters love him today.

He's an American and he's helping this country. I'm glad to have him on our side.

Man you're funny, come up with that all by yourself?

Besides, he was a Democrat so long ago (1987) it doesn't count ;)

You got your pictures, be happy

Hey, I'm not the one assuming that someone getting a picture taken with someone else means they're all buddy-buddy. Talk to kamikaze about that.

Yeah, Donald Trump is actually soft-banned from this group for all the hate and nonsense he’s spewed.

Color me surprised

"well number 1 we aren't stupid"
"they would insult us before we could even start"

That's irony

I was only pointing out the irony ;)

Someone posted a photo of Trump at G.W. Bush’s funeral in 2018, spotted with former presidents temporarily on this occasion as if it were a point in Trump’s favor. I guess that chain of comments has been deleted.

It would have been shocking for Trump not to have been there.

But there was no mistaking that Trump was the odd man out. He has had barely any contact with the club of former Presidents otherwise.

G.H.W. Bush’s funeral*, sorry.

Oh, and I see those other comments now. Must have clicked them away somehow.
