Who was the last Republican president that was not regularly called stupid by the Democratic media?
Well, guess that means they can't be right once...
Who was the last Democratic president that wasn't regularly called a Socialist by the Republican media? Guess that means politicians like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez can't be Socialist... who knew?

Think my point flew over your head, StA. Before JFK did the Democratic media regularly call Republican presidents stupid?

Clinton, you could call Clinton a lot of things and we did, but socialist wasnt one of them. Hillary, maybe. And "Republican media" didn't exist till what the 90's anyway, maybe the late 80's.

Yes. Eisenhower was old, recruited by both parties was stupid because he chose that one. Hoover was called stupid, great recession. Calvin Coolidge was called stupid because he didn't speak much Silent Cal. How far back do you want to go. T.R. was a silver spoon rich kid, who wanted to cowboy rough ride all over the place a bit like George W Bush.

Yeah. It's pretty much been a thing going back at least to Lincoln.

Fair enough, then. Still got nothing to do whether or not Trump is stupid and that you could have accomplished more of your goals with a less ignorant, less narcissist and more self-confident president. His own tweets and way of talking mark him as way below average intelligence and above average level of ignorance of...almost everything.
The media's portayal of him is irrelevant in that regard. Something doesn't become true because the bad guy's media say it's not true, or false because they say it's true. It's an idiotic logical fallacy.

I am not 100% on what exactly happened to that refinery, but my fake news meter is pinned over in the red since this morning with all this blaming Iran.
