So I guess my life experiences and human interactions should have no influence on what I think. I guess I shouldn’t consider the influence my family had on me, considering my grandfather never made more than $7 per hour and paid cash for everything. I shouldn’t consider, having grown up in the construction trade, seeing some workers always broke because they made bad decisions and others succeed because of good decisions. I guess I shouldn’t be influenced by people I met in the Army in 24 years of service. I stick by my words. I’m tired of excuses.

Ahh, "the good old days". They aren't ever coming back so you can forget about "the good old days". Technology has taken care of that.
Social media has taken society to a new low. No humility, no morals, people say what ever is on their minds, do what ever they feel like doing, good or bad, with no regard to others. Our new president has set the bar low in that respect and he has a lot of followers!

Things started to go off the rails with William Jefferson Clinton. Until that time, our presidents' dalliances were kept away from the public. Clinton made it okay to screw around on your wife (Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky), assault women (Paula Jones (settled for $850,000), Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey), and viciously go after them if it's politically expedient to do so (HRC, George Stephanopoulos and the bimbo eruption squad). President Trump is a piker compared to Clinton. Clinton is the one that set the bar low.

The bottom line is that politicians having bad character is as old as organized government. Our present President is a fighter, and I like that. The more the left goes ballistic, I know he's doing something right.

So he's above all the rest because he fights back?

You are the one that said he's above the rest, not me.

Sadly, you obviously missed my point. Sorry for bothering you.
