George W. Bush is a gentleman and his father, George H.W. is too, even more so. Both were attacked maliciously and aggressively by the media and by their political opponents. I admired the civility of both presidents who were above the fray. But their presidencies suffered defeats because they were unwilling to fight fire with fire. Donald J. Trump is a different man, a different politician and a different president. Trump is a street fighter. He is going to be aggressive and cunning when politicians and the media come after him.
President Trump is naturally combative, having honed his skills on construction sites among hard-hat workers. He knows the common man and he believes that if you dont stand up to a bully, hell run over you and enjoy doing it. He does not back off from a fight, and thats exactly why working class and middle-America elected him President. The American people are tired of political bullies who throw their weight around and hit below the belt rhetorically. Donald Trump in effect said, You hit me, Ill hit you 10 times harder and Ill throw you out of the ring. Voters in 2016 responded that they wanted the bullies busted!
I prefer civility. I like a good debate. I was a champion intercollegiate debate coach. I like confronting opponents with respectful, cordial and logical argument. Generally speaking, thats how things are or should be done. The GOP was fairly good at that -- but in the past the media-political complex generally were also playing by common rules of engagement; civil exchanges were expected in the halls of power. Yes, there were exceptions and media distortions are nothing new, but there used to be limits (celebrity children were off limits

Yes he is — A Street Fighter WITH CLASS , as has been said.
Their presidencies ‘suffered’ rollover defeats because they are both globalist NWO quislings and ringers.
Here's a picture of one of your beloved Bushes to swoon over.
Thank God for Donald Trump! He is exactly the President we need now! MAGA!
This is why Rush has played the Rolling Stones “Street Fighting Man” dozens of times on his show in the last 18-24 months and I don’t get to hear him as much as I’d like.
I admire the intelligence and fortitude of the man who fights against the uncivilized horde attempting a coup. So the author and I will have to agree to disagree.

Plus he has Steve Bannon, another well known street fighter, in his corner. Can’t hurt.
The fact that the Bushes, like Mitt Romney, couldn't bring themselves to say one sentence critical of Obama during his Presidency but suddenly come out of their slumber to attack Trump during the primaries and general election tells you that their failure to oppose the Democrats successfully had nothing to do with being "gentlemen."
Trump is cut from the same cloth as President Andrew Jackson.
The refusal to defend is, in my opinion, a part of Bush’s legacy I consider disastrous. He conditioned the left to expect a president to be a stationary target who serves as a punching bag. In a perverse way, it’s almost expected that the left is reacting in the irrational way they are because they think that they’ve been denied yet another entitlement: A sitting duck in the White House. A complacent, overconfident enemy makes for a target rich environment, and Trump is proving himself an able shooter.
Bush’s complete refusal to defend himself led directly to the rape, murder, and enslavement of thousands of Yazidi women and children.
The high ground ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
He’s a martial arts guru - sophisticated street fighting.
