If these people are truly scum (and they are - we have all been saying it for years!) criticizing Trump for counter-punching "twice as hard" does not make any sense.
George W. Bush was called every disgusting name in the book and said NOTHING in response. He was called a racist during Katrina, had shoes thrown at him over his Iraq war, pictures depicting him as a monkey...and worse. How did that work out for him?
Oh yeah, Republicans lost Congress and the country ended up with an undocumented Kenyan for 8 years. But hey, at least Republicans could hold their heads high because their guy acted all "presidential" and stuff. face)(*^%
Oh, and how could we forget President McCain and President Romney.
Politics is war. Turning the other cheek against these scumbags makes about as much sense as fighting Islamic terrorism with candlelight vigils and Facebook filters.
There must be a cost to the kind of vicious 'reporting' we are witnessing from the fake news gaystream media. President Trump understands this all too well, which is why some of his responses are, well, harsh and personal. Tough titty. Respond he must, or they will chew him up like every other RINO.
Tread carefully, Mika...tread very carefully. Ask Rosie O'Donut and Megyn Kelly how well going to war with Trump turned out for them!
Is this "presidential behavior?"
Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States.
It is now.
