Meet the “modern-day president”: Donald Trump may have degraded the dignity of the office beyond repair – By Bob Cesca / July 3 2017
It seems like a year ago, given the tsunami of tweets and gibberish that came from President Donald Trump over the weekend, but it was only Friday when Kellyanne Conway appeared on “Good Morning America” to criticize the news media’s coverage of her boss as “neither productive nor patriotic.” Ah yes, the patriotism trope again. You might be old enough to recall how, throughout the comparatively bucolic presidency of George W. Bush, we were repeatedly told in no uncertain terms that criticizing the president while American troops were in harm’s way was unpatriotic and undermined the troops. Let’s review:
“You don’t criticize the commander-in-chief in the middle of a firefight. That could be construed as putting U.S. forces in jeopardy and undermining morale.” — Bill O’Reilly, April 2004
“I’ve held this in long enough. I really suspect that these liberal tactics are damaging, maybe even killing the morale of our troops.” — Rush Limbaugh, June 2007
“The only ideas that they espouse are ways to undermine the troops in harm’s way and undermine their commander in chief while they’re at war. Your candidates have no idea how to keep this economy strong.” — Sean Hannity, October 2006
