We 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.  Dictatorship will follow.  We will be publishing quotes from former Presidents every day for 44 straight days and compare them to 45, our current President YAHOO. We are on # 31 (thirty one).

Herbert Hoover
31st President of the United States
Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman, and politician who served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. A member of the Republican Party, he held office during the onset of the Great Depression. Prior to serving as president, Hoover led the Commission for Relief in Belgium, served as the director of the U.S. Food Administration, and served as the 3rd U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

So it’s natural to speculate as to whether the ignominious political fate of Herbert Hoover, the man who sat in the White House as the Great Depression began, awaits Donald Trump when voters deliver a verdict on his tumultuous presidency in November.

The 31st and 45th presidents are similar in a few important ways, beyond a common Republican Party membership. They are the only presidents never to have served in any elected office or in military leadership. They both possessed great personal wealth before becoming president. They both held themselves in high esteem, and were known for stubbornly rejecting sound advice.
The two men also differed significantly in more obvious respects. Hoover was the consummate self-made man; he was orphaned at the age of 11 and performed a host of mentally and physically demanding jobs before he found his destiny as a mining engineer. Trump was the classic silver-spoon scion, and never distinguished himself academically or intellectually. Throughout his life, Hoover was addicted to hard work and believed deeply in science and technical expertise. Trump’s work habits have been erratic, and he famously does not trust experts. Hoover was devoted to his only wife, Lou, and never considered remarriage after her death two decades before his own. Trump was a playboy until well into late middle age, if not later.

Herbert Hoover:

“No public man can be just a little crooked.”

“Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.”

“The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law.”

“Votes are the professional politicians’ idea of the food of gods, which is kept in pork barrels.”

“The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public offices.”

“Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.”

“When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.”

“It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.”

“There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.”
“Fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air. It brings meekness and inspiration, reduces our egotism, soothes our troubles, and shames our wickedness. It is discipline in the equality of men; for all men are equal before fish.”

Donald Trump:

“I will be the greatest jobs President that God ever created.”

“They dislike me, the liberal media dislikes me. I was always the best at what I did, I went to the Wharton School of Finance, did well.”

“You know, you see what’s going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that’s what we’ve done. We’ve stopped it. (Pertaining to the virus)

“I mean, think of it, the United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point.”
It’s 38. And it was 38 when Trump said this.

“Other countries, that are smaller countries, have many, many deaths. Thirty-two is a lot. Thirty-two is too many. But when you look at the kind of numbers that you’re seeing coming out of other countries, it’s pretty amazing, when you think of it.”
Yes, he is patting himself on the back. And yes, he is wrong about the number of deaths. And yes, this quote is literally whatever the opposite of empathy is.

“I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about.”
Well, this isn’t ominous at all!
