Those portable goalposts are really convenient, aren't they?

Who exactly is arguing that?

I did not condone what this ONE guy did, and would not do it myself. I also would not do much of the things done and said in the previous f̶o̶u̶r̶ twelve years disrespecting the president.

FIFY

Change that 12 to 20.

And, hate to tell you that the disrespect shown Obama was nowhere near the level shown even Bush, let alone Trump

Not sure you're right about this. Impossible to prove either way.

I think it all depends on what group you're looking at in regards to disrespect. Celebrities at award shows? Hands down more disrespect for Bush/Trump compared to Obama.

Zoom out from that narrow (but VERY visible window) and it's a lot less clear and likely a lot more of a toss up. And I'd note that we probably need to be talking about post-Iraq Bush.
