Not even close.

No 24/7 news cycle with a TV in every home and a cell phone in every hand.

The only real medium was newspapers which didn't reach half the population.
So according to you and Trump, having the press say bad things about you is worse than being assassinated. I"m going to disagree as I think the worse thing that can happen to any president is being assassinated.

If we want to talk about press and mudslinging, I think John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Q Adams, Andrew Jackson, and James Polk might have some things to say about how bad the partisan press treated them and their families.

If he is innocent, Mueller will reveal it. But he will also take Comey to task, the press to task, in short anyone having anything to do with this will be called on the carpet.

That still doesn't answer my question concerning performance. The people did not hire Trump to jack up their insurance with pre existing insurance increases & that's not what he campaigned on....so yea, I have a attitude against the creep. I also think Trump is a scumbag when it comes to women, a non christian & a spoiled child besides. He calls General McMaster a pain in the ass for correcting his blathering for example. No, I aint a gonna stop till he grows up & takes responsibility for his actions....he is a prescription for failure for America, as was BO, Clinton & Carter before him.

Kennedy? JFK was my president while in the military.
He was loved by most. I don't remember much scuttlebutt at all against him.
In those days I was a democrat.

You should look at what those 4 men all have in common. They all were assassinated while in office.

OH, well what about Reagan, he was shot as well and often was verbally bombarded by his enemies.

HankD
I thought about adding him, as well as Teddy Roosevelt since he was also shot at, but figured I would let those 4 men have their place in history. I think its bad enough that Garfield and McKinley are ignored when people think about assassinated presidents.

True..... but all politicians get criticized. That's the nature of the job. Trump just cant tolerate anyone who disagrees with him so why is he in that job? :rolleyes:

True, though I know that factually I don't attribute anything special to it.

Not good. I admit.

They all were in the process of changing the world (so that the oligarchs were striped of authority).....silly them. You guarantee yourself a short lifespan. Though he wasnt a president, you can include Bobby Kennedy.

FDR was & is still greatly criticized. He was almost shot but the assassin missed him. He gave my grandfather & my wife's uncles shovel ready jobs. He also was crippled from polio...He also had to guide the country through war & depression....so Id say he suffered.

Stop making things up.
And what are you claiming that I made up. That Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy were assassinated while in office? That Adams, Jefferson, Q Adams, Jackson, and Polk had horrible press about them?
That Trump said " No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."
That you agreed with Trump about being treated the worst?

But words are in no way worse than bullets as those 4 men can attest.

Which means exactly nothing on the subject at hand...treatment by the press.

You would have a point if members of the media actuallyt pulled the trigger.

As it is, you have nothing to refute Trump's statement.
