The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Only a fool criticizes the President who is doing everything he can to support and defend the Constitution.

Ahh, the good old false dilemma fallacy. It is foolish to insist on mandatory support as long as he intends well. He is the president of the USA, trying really hard isn't good enough. Defending his statements just because he is "doing his best" amounts to blind devotion.

I also suggest you consider the difference between criticize and critique.

I am glad Trump spoke out against the violent anti protestors but that isn't the issue. The issues is that he makes statements that lend credence to the allegation that he supports nazis. He makes stupid comments that just lead to more drama that could and should be avoided. I don't care if there was one good nice person in the nazi rally, the president should not come out defending people who march in a nazi rally, it is politically stupid. I wish there was some good explanation for Trump's comments such as a social speaking disorder like autism or Tourettes or something because at least then I could defend his odd speech and maintain my integrity.

Obama defended BLM and even sided with Treyvon Martin. He is a better speaker than Trump but he did Yoga flame the fires across the nation.

People continued to riot during his tenure. But the media didn't make any correlations. Now they try with President Trump.

I fully agree with that criticism of Obama.
