NOT even feckin' close.
I believe this is intended to be a hit piece by National Review.
Comparing Trump to Johnnson is nuts. Johnson was a sociopath. There is no reason to think so of Trump.
Johnson was always a politician who used political power to get rich.
Trump made his money in the market. He never was in office before becoming President.
Trump had to give up quite a bit to become President.
Johnson always made sure that he gained power and money from his political maneuvering.
Good Grief. Now Trump = LBJ? NOT!
TRUMP = TRUMP!!!
It’s real simple, but the morons in the media have their deadlines.
The dangerous issue is that the political opposition today is utterly insane with virtually no moderating elements in it.
Couple that with a younger generation that is easily led and incapable of critical thinking carrying out the insanity.
I had considered NR as only fit for toilet paper when stuck in the woods without TP. Now I’ll treat it like toxic waste. Trump’s about as non LBJ as you can get.
Stopped reading right there.
Not really 'Fake News' - this is simply ‘Non News’!
Just Fund's wet random druggy dreams posing as fake fake news.
So in conclusion: "This is not even fake news! It's ‘Non News’ from a deeply disturbed mind of a Never Trumpster in total free fall from reality!"
Were there nothing to look at save LBJ’s personal relationships with other people, it would be merciful to forget him altogether. But there is much more to look at. He may have been a son of a bitch, but he was a colossal son of a bitch. . . . Nevertheless, he was capable of inspiring strong attachments even with people who knew him for what he was.
I don’t know just how much of a “miserable person” Donald Trump is.
Project much?
Very good article about LBJ. Missed that it was LBJ that opened the “lock box” of Social Security funds and moved the money into general funds that he could spend on other things.
LBJ was also known to brag about how even the dead people in Texas voted for him to be Senator. He was a well known womanizer, like JFK, who he later served as VP. After passing the Civil Rights legislation giving all the welfare, he was quoted as saying “we’ll have these n*****s voting for Democrats for a hundred years”. ...LBJ has been considered since the JFK killing of having involvement, as the two hated each other; he was only chosen to be VP candidate because JFK wanted to win Texas and similar voters.
NRO is really grasping. Where are the bodies of Trump’s victims? I know of none, and surely our great, professional, objective, media (sarcasm off) would have uncovered them by now.
Old Man Johnson had many victims, most notably Henry Marshall of the USDA. The Clintons are much more like LBJ than Trump is. Jackson or Truman are better comparisons with President Trump.
The first sentence dictates this be posted with a huge BS Warning....
Johnson was a compulsive adulterer who fathered several illegitimate children (most aborted), and a serial murderer. JFK was his dozenth murder victim.
This piece is vile sewage.
Let me count the ways he was just like Johnson.
1. Career politician
2. Had a massive political machine and well established political power
3. Obtained the presidency as V. P. To an assassinated president, thereby falling in under his agenda
4. Didn’t run on his own well stated agenda
5. Didn’t campaign at all for the presidency
6. .....
Well I give up. Other than these obvious comparisons, Trump path as president is nothing like LBJ’s.
And I’ll have to admit, anyone who thinks these five thing fit, should seek help.
The National Review is nuts.
And for the record, regarding the overall topic, Trump may be blunt, but he’s definitely no LBJ. One particularly notable difference is that he hadn’t even held political office prior to the presidency (even Ronald Reagan had a brief stint of California Governor before running for the Presidency).
Until he starts exploding at his military advisors with obscene names for giving advice for the war, does any particularly vulgar actions like holding meetings while he’s on the loo, capitulating to media lies, cynically supporting welfare programs specifically to have blacks vote Democrat for a century more while referring to them by the n-word, or anything like that, Trump’s about as similar to LBJ as Barney the Dinosaur is to Godzilla. If anything, he’s more comparable to Ronald Reagan.
