- le-mark 1y agoNo it really hasn’t been the norm outside the past 10 years or so. Historically the new administration gets a few months, then they own it.
- gryfft 1y agoI really do not believe this was the case before 45. One of the generally-agreed-upon criteria for presidential candidates was that they act "Presidential", which was understood to be a sort of universally unoffensive masculine stereotype? E.g. Before 2016 it would be unthinkable for the President of the United States to openly curse beyond a "TV-PG" way. As I recall, other Presidents might decry Congress etc. but would almost never out-and-out criticize the direct previous official actions taken by the office of the Presidency.
- mexicocitinluez 1y ago> Generally, yes. As part of an executive order, no. Huh? Can you offer a single example of this pre-Trump?

- mexicocitinluez 1y agolol, gtfo “We inherited a financial crisis unlike any that we’ve seen in our time,” That's a fact of reality. Trying to compare what Trump is doing to simply stating that we were in a financial crisis when Obama took over is while every single argument with someone from the right should be done knowing they don't stand on principles and will literally redefine words and reality to try and make a point.
