Yes, well, John Adams did not say those things to the entire population of the world. There was no audiotaping, videotaping, or tweeting. Instead, if jibes like that became public, the object of your insults might give you the choice between a retraction and getting shot.
On the topic of adultery and men who live in glass houses, let’s put Marla Maples aside for just a moment. Why would someone who supports a man who bragged about trying to seduce someone else’s wife by taking her furniture shopping have any problem with adultery? What about a man who bragged about being able to grab women–well, anywhere he pleased?
Why would someone who mocks his political enemies using every electronic medium known to humankind have a problem with someone who does this while appearing on a late-night comedy show? I’ve seen the video of Trump mocking someone with a physical disability!! What gets more vile than that?
Let’s not even get started with the things Trump has said to Howard Stern, while on air. The Billy Bush tapes should not have been some kind of big surprise to anyone.
No, if you support Donald Trump, I think you concede that you do not care what anyone else’s candidate says or does. No matter what it is, there are probably several videotapes or audiotapes of Donald Trump doing something as bad or probably far worse…and not things that John Adams would have let go by without a sharp comment, might I add.
He is the President of the United States. He needs to start acting like it. His supporters need to quit making excuses for his improper attacks and willingness to repeat or make up outright falsehoods. We all realize that Donald Trump has no future planned beyond his presidency, but a few other people in the Republican Party would like to.
