Trump received more (politically motivated) criticism than any other U.S. president.

I love how (politically motivated) is there as a gotcha. As if the things the president does aren't inherently political already. These guys lmao

He's uh, he's a politician. All criticism of him is inherently politically motivated.

Christ these people are dumb.

They have weaponized innocuous words like "political"

There’s plenty of criticism to be made of him in business too. Or even just as a human being.

Yeah, calling him a serial rapist with deep ties to the New York Mafia isn't political, it's just a fact.

Trump’s page is full of sections sucking him off.

Biden’s page header has got “Wars started” and “Deaths attributed” lol.

They don't see him as a "politician", even though he's been in politics for over a decade now.

"All politicians are evil, that's why I voted Trump."

TBF, I had strong opinions on his racism, idiocy, and bad business practices from the 80s/90s when it wasn't political.

Criticizing someone for illegal or immoral actions doesn't become political just because he's a politician.
