In case you lost count, what real presidents dont do

There have been 45 presidents since George Washington took the first oath of office at New York City’s Federal Hall on April 30, 1789. Since then we’ve had good presidents (Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, TR, FDR, Truman); bad presidents (Grant, Harding, Hoover, Buchanan, Nixon, Tyler); and adequate-enough presidents (most all the rest).

But we’ve never had a fake president, until now.

Donald J. Trump is our first fake president. How do I know? Simple. Real presidents don’t do what he does.

Real presidents don’t:

Endlessly Tweet their random thoughts, which some aides tell us just to ignore and others say are official policy;

Put totally unqualified family members in positions of great responsibility;

Rip affordable health care away from 23 million Americans;

Seek to shut down an FBI investigation;

and saved the article.
As always, I love to read the "comments" section if the article is from a news source. This was no different - some amazing comments that just startle the s**t out of you, unless you realize that we do have people that thought Orange-Cheat-o was worthy of being the president of the US.
