To the editor:
Jonah Goldberg lays out a false moral equivalency when he compares the norm-breaking of Presidents Trump and Obama. Trump’s behavior is completely different.
Trump calling the media the enemy of the people is different from President Obama trying to prevent illegal leaks. All presidents attempt to stop illegal leaking, but they do so without demonizing the fourth estate. Trump attacks the media merely because he does not like how he is being portrayed, no matter how true it is.
And while all politicians may lie, Trump is not even tethered to the truth. He even bragged that he just made up facts when discussing trade with Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau. Trump lies with the same ease and frequency as he breathes.
Trump has taken the most ugly and base characteristics of a bullying teenager and made it his brand, which because of his position has sullied all Americans.

Note from KBJ: Barack Obama really is all the things leftists falsely say that Donald Trump is: liar, racist, narcissist, bully. Leftists are great projectors.
