Ah, so you'll setup a strawman like the last time?
I like a president who shows himself to be normal. When Obama called Kanye a jackass off camera I liked it, I think others did as well. Obama was charismatic, so was Bush to an extent, and of course Bill Clinton was. This isn't some false choice between a plastic president and a relatable, blunt president.
Trump is different. He doesn't have the character of a serious man. He is petty, thin-skinned, hyper-focused on media. I expect the leader of the free world to be an honorable, respectable person. That doesn't mean they don't have certain flaws that we all have, it just means they don't act like little bitches.
Not to mention it's not like the president holds his tongue just to satisfy uptight media people. The president maintains message discipline in foreign policy matters and domestic matters to get shit done and not cause crises.
Yes, the choice is between a childish buffoon and a philanderer who can't keep his dick in his pants around the interns.
So the president should respond to Joe and Mika's criticism with personal attacks on her facelift? The President of the United States should lower himself to the level(or below) of his media critics?
That's a bold strategy Cotton.
I don't like that our president has such thin skin either.
