What specifically is 'fake stuff' about Trump?
Post# of 123769
And, please, don't try to equate occasional double standards of LIBERALS...there I fixed that for you....with the 'in their DNA ' continual, repeated, double standards and hypocrisy shown by too many conservatives.
Trump first supported the accused pedophile Roy Moors, and his WH ignored the delayed security clearance of a wife-beater. Sleazy.
Trump has been accused by over a dozen women of predatory sexual advances. And his dumb ass lawyer has just admitted to paying a hooker to keep her 'quiet' before the election. Sleazy
For what OTHER reason would he have paid her?
And what happened to the deficit hawks who shut down the gov. over a debt ceiling hike, who went berserk over the Stimulus and who continually railed over spending, debt and deficit under Obama?
I called it early. Watch for tax cuts and spending out the wazzo from these GOP dick-heads, and the hell with debt and deficits.
Nailed that!
Now for an historical take on not just sleaze but criminality and incarceration, take a look at the following. Then consider my next call. Trump will come in somewhere between Nixon and Reagan on the 'crime chart'.
Here’s a quantifiably more objective measure of corruption and yeah, sleaze.

Overall, Richard Nixon’s administration had the most criminal indictments and convictions. Wikipedia’s list enumerates 13 specific individuals who were convicted and imprisoned over Watergate alone, but notes that a total of 69 officials were indicted for the scandal and 48 were either convicted or pleaded guilty.
(Nixon himself is not included; after his resignation, President Gerald Ford gave him a blanket pardon, sparing him from any potential indictments. However, his first vice president, Spiro Agnew, is included for indictments unrelated to Watergate.)
The Reagan Administration is next with 26 indictments and 16 convictions (including guilty pleas), followed by the George W. Bush Administration with 16 indictments, all ending in convictions or guilty pleas.
The Nixon Administration had at least 15 people serve at least some time in prison for their crimes, while Bush 43’s administration had at least 9 and the Reagan Administration had at least 8.
(Scooter Libby’s sentence is included here even though Bush pardoned him in 2007 before he was sent to jail, since the pardon did not expunge the crime and the pardon itself is a political act, not a judicial determination.
But others whose convictions were later overturned—like Oliver North’s and John Poindexter’s—are included under indictments but not convictions since it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to second-guess the courts’ reasoning for overturning those convictions.)
