Earlier quoted context omitted.

Obama did a better job communicating with emotion through a tweet, than Trump did with a live press conference.

Oh I think Trump does a great job of displaying his emotions through live press conferences. It's just that a lot of people feel quite differently about these issues from the way he does.

Trump seems to be able to display only two emotions: Anger and Frustration, that's an insufficient set for what is needed.

Insufficient set for what is required to be a normal human being.

You made your point with your first comment. There is no need to keep posting your (poorly worded) opinion multiple times in this thread.

This seems as good a place as any: I find it very interesting how strongly the reputation/actions of the successor president effect the previous one. A great many people disliked Bush. It seems like that really helped Clinton. Bush's reputation doesn't seem to have been helped by having Obama follow him (in general). If he was followed by Romney or McCain I get the feeling he wouldn't be remembered as harshly. If Cli…

> A great many people disliked Bush. It seems like that really helped Clinton. It helped Obama as well. I don't think it's disparaging towards Obama at all to point out that he basically won a Nobel Peace Price ten months into his presidency because he was not Bush.

That's true, is forgotten about that.

In times of conflict it's easy to lose sight of the fundamental goodness and decency of people, goodness and decency that will flourish if given the opportunity. Great leaders remind us of this when anger and hate pull us apart.

great leaders dont indiscriminately bomb innocent countries nonstop for 8yrs (only president to be at war entire 2 terms... EVER) take your virtue signalling somewhere else plz

Since we are off in the weeds, War was never officially declared unless I missed something, somewhere. So we were never technically "at war" with anyone (still are not). Perhaps Trump wants to change that with all of his saber-rattling with North Korea.
