" “Deranged Jack Smith and I watched him yesterday go up and talk. He talked for about two and a half minutes. He was shaking. He was so scared. He didn’t want to be there. Because ultimately, these are cowards. They’re cowards.” - DJT I watched Jack Smith speak. He didn’t look scared at all and he certainly wasn’t shaking. Trump, on the other hand, sounds pretty scared, not to mention deranged and cowardly. Projection at its finest. ---

Yes, honestly speaking Trump has gotten mountains more bad press and attacks than any president in recent memory including criminal charges and two impeachments . But that is because he has done oceans more to deserve attacks and bad press. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Really, his family **has** been through a lot > [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Trump has gotten mountains more bad press and attacks than any president in recent memory Well yes, but we’re talking about POTUS families here. Quick review: - Clinton: Daughter harassed and mocked; wife slandered and made into a right-wing punching bag for 30 years - Bush II: No malice directed at family that I can recall, despite the POTUS himself being reviled by Dems. - Obama: Wife called a transvestite and compared to an ape. - Trump: Very little malice directed at family members who didn’t call it down upon themselves, with the possible exception of slurs against Melania’s past. Trump complaining about what his family has suffered is pathetic, but hardly surprising from the leader of the We’re-All-Victims party. ---

I’ve seen a very few catty remarks directed towards Barron as well. But far, far fewer than towards the “active” family members. In general I agree the Democratic family members have gotten more abuse, however I think it is just a function of human society is that there will always be some dickwads everywhere, even if in differing numbers and vehemence. Not trying to “both-sides” too heavily here, but I think the basic takeaway is being an involuntary celebrity sucks ass in certain respects and anyone who is willing to subject their family to that intense pressures of public scrutiny by becoming (or even running for) president is to some degree kind of a selfish person. Obviously when it comes to Trump that last is a vast understatement. ---

That same Trump family that was declared a criminal enterprise in a civil tax trial. The same family as officeholders in Trump Univ. that had to fold and return monies received as tuition to a fake school. The same ENTIRE family that start/skimmed all the receipts to their fake charity. That had to return all donations AND SIGN CONSENT DECREES INDIVIDUALLY barring them from ever starting or participating in a charity again. Are we talking that poor picked on family??? Oh the horrors!!! ---
