To be fair, no president was this rude. at least, not in public.

He is many things, but honest isn't one of them.

they aren't exclusive notions. and everyone is learning just how much "honesty" is a red herring.

Nobody is.

LBJ was a well known asshole. Did you actually think about your statement before you wrote it, or just assume that it would be true?

Yay personal attacks! There is a difference between being an asshole and being an asshole on tv/radio/twitter. The only way LBJ was same as Trump would be, if LBJ went on TV everyday and yelled profanity and called people names. Because that is what Trump does when he rage-tweets every morning.

LBJ was a well known asshole on every medium that was available to him.

Does Trump use a lot of profanity? I've never really noticed. What I notice is that he makes fun of his opponents a lot, but I don't really see how that is considered rude, when his opponents are doing the same thing back to him.
