Compare 44 President’s quotes in history to 45. This proves that Trump is inept, unqualified, unprepared, corrupt, incapable of the truth, without conscience, without honor, lacks empathy, and is truly what psychiatrists call a malignant narcissist. Our Democracy is shaking and if elected again, we and the World will be slaves to the rich and powerful. We will be publishing quotes from former Presidents every day for 44 days and compare them to todays President YAHOO. We are on number 14 (fourteen).
Franklin Pierce
14th President of the United States
Franklin Pierce was the 14th president of the United States, a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. He alienated anti-slavery groups by supporting and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act, yet he failed to stem conflict between North and South, setting the stage for Southern secession and the American Civil War.
Franklin Pierce:
“A republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The history of all popular governments shows how absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.”
“I acknowledge my obligations to the masses of my countrymen, and to them alone.”
(on Congress) “In a body where there are more than one hundred talking lawyers…you can make no calculation upon the termination of any debate and frequently, the more trifling the subject, the more animated and protracted the discussion.”
Donald Trump:
Donald Trump Insults the Pope
“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian.…If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’ ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this would not have happened.”
—In response to remarks by Pope Francis saying that “a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” (February 18, 2016)
Trump Accuses Cruz’s Father of Helping JFK’s Assassin
“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being—you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don’t even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”
—Suggesting that Ted Cruz’s father may have been involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, despite the fact that no proof exists of any such link, Fox News interview, May 3, 2016
There’s certainly a lot to find out about this subject.
I really like all the points you’ve made.
