Trump's first year in office marked by controversy, protests
Reuters ^ | December 6, 2017 | Gibson

Posted on 07/01/2022 7:09:49 AM PDT by Phoenix8

Photographs showing that the crowd at Trump’s swearing-in was smaller than at Barack Obama’s first presidential inauguration in 2009 caused the first ruckus in his administration - but not the last.

Trump’s first year in office was colored by an investigation into whether his campaign colluded with the Russian government to affect the election outcome, insults and threats of war with North Korea, and an effort to pass business-friendly legislation.

Oh my. I like going back to MSM articles from 4 years ago and comparing them to today on Trump/Biden. Summary of criticisms: 1. North Korea. Trump was arguing with them. Today: North Korea has resumed missile development, building bombs they stopped when Trump was POTUS..WORSE 2. Russian Collusion. Today..…FAKE NEWS. Steel Dossier was proven faked and made up. Russia and Ukraine are in a war. ..…WORSE 3. IMMIGRATION Trump banned several Muslim countries and was called a racist (thought religion and race were different???). TODAY. Utter disaster on the border..…record numbers of illegal immigration. today..….WORSE, worst ever in fact. 4. Charlottesville protestor killed by white nationalist Who hit her with his car. Trump refused to call one side evil. Today..…forgot the black man (BLM) that drove into the Wisconsin parade of white children and grandmothers already? Did Biden call his whole side evil??? Today..….SAME. Haters are going to hate regardless of their side. 5. NAFTA/ECONOMY/INFLATION LOL do I even have to discuss this one? I thought not. (PS it wasn’t all COVID or the War, our economy and inflation tanked after Biden took office and BEFORE the war).

While Biden’s first year in office marked by turning the economy and the future of society into a garbage dump.

my favorite part of the trump administration has been the last few weeks/months - the Trump’s SC picks doing their thing - the gift that just keeps on giving.

There must be no controversy surrounding incoming Presidents.

At least if the incoming President is a Democrat.

"Trump's first year in office marked by controversy, protests"

Yes, all in response to two of Presient Trump's vows, viz.:

"Make America Great Again"

and

"The party's over. I'm going to clean up Washington!"

Yes, those two vows caused all the "controversy" and all the "protests." Of course, obviously, this says everything about the protesters and those who consider these vows controversial.

2. Russian Collusion. Today..…FAKE NEWS. Steel Dossier was created by Chris Steele using fabricated input from one or more Russians affiliated with Vladimir Putin and promoted by lawyers affiliated with Clinton, who is known for facilitating the Russian purchase of Uranium One. Russia and Ukraine are in a war, since the blankets Obama sent them instead of weapons failed to deter them from invading...…

His first year in office was marked by false allegations against multiple people, and fake investigations by the FBI/DOJ, at the behest of Hillary Clinton.
