The best I can see here is an attempt to minimize the fact that Trump--the current president of the US--didn't do anything that perverse because some unnamed politicians somewhere at some time in the past made a racist statement.
Great advice except his tweets affect things going on in this country. No one is crying we're simply responding to communications from the potus. We simply want to be represented on the world stage by an adultAll the crying from the left hasn't done anything to stop him from being himself.
Don't read his tweets if he gets you that upset. Learn to live your life not trying to change someone.
What are these tweets affecting other than your feelings? Nothing he has said so far has had any effect on me.Great advice except his tweets affect things going on in this country.

In Trump’s first year in office, tweets from @realdonaldtrump have cut the cost of an Air Force contract, undermined White House messaging, forced federal agencies to rebuke them, stoked a congressional investigation, spurred the former director of the FBI to leak a damaging memo, possibly led to the appointment of a special counsel, created new legal trouble for the White House, announced a new military policy to the surprise of the Pentagon, upended a Republican plan to gut an ethics office, nearly derailed two bills the White House backed and been cited by multiple judges ruling against the Administration on several issues.
So, the sky really is falling due to his tweets? Everything seems to be going along nicely from where I sit.He uses twitter to conduct policy, his tweets affect a lot more than just feelings. Here’s just from his first year:
Donald Trump's Tweets Really Matter. These 27 Examples Prove It
He's the freaking potus. Quit playing stupid social media games like a teenager and realize the focus will always be on him
Handing our awards like every other potus before him isn't the same as insulting people and praising murderous dictators on Twitter. Only one is below the officeNever stopped Obama from being a fool in from of a camera or handing out gold medals like pop tarts to his Hollywood idols. You didn't complain about his lack of respect for the position. You may even have been one comparing Bush to a chimp, but without commenting on Clinton's lack of respect for the office ... and probably the furniture and subordinates.
How quickly the left forgets Hillary Clinton's own racist comments in trying to sway the black vote. Oh noes! Moral equivalency! But...but... Trump's the one that made it okay to make racist comments.
The sad thing is you guys keep telling me it's not about politics when you won't even acknowledge your own side has engaged in similar rhetoric.

I'm not beholden to a party which your idiotic hypotheticals seem to imply. My views are in this forum if you're truly interested in reading instead of guessing
Who really cares about meaningless things like these? Is this really what you spend your time looking up?Sure all presidents handed out those medals in more limited quantities ... but look at the categories that Obama doted on ... throwaways vs serious stuff. Personally, I'd do away with the Medals of Freedom anyway ... they are kinda like state memorials for people half the country seems to dislike (to put it kindly).
