These were the days when the world not only had respect for a U.S. president, they loved him as much as America did.
His representation of his country on the world stage was NEVER viewed as it is by a man now viewed as the global village idiot.
His name appears ZERO times in the Epstein files. He never needed to praise himself once, name a road or a building after him. He never sued the DOJ or filed malicious law suits against those who disagreed with or criticised him, because real men can take criticism.
He didn’t pretend to have a healthcare plan, he passed one into law. He never mocked disabled people or asked not to be seen with service members who had lost limbs in service of this nation, neither did he call those who fought and died for this nation ‘suckers and losers’
He won an ACTUAL Nobel Peace Prize and didn’t have to make up numbers for how many people attended his inauguration. He needed no monuments to his presidency because he had absolutely nothing to prove.
He served his nation with honour dignity and respect, the same respect he afforded America’s allies. He did not run an international extortion gang from the Oval Office and certainly didn’t send masked thugs into red state communities to brutalise them in order to instil fear.
He rebuilt a broken economy after the housing crash he faced in the year he was elected, handing off a growing economy when he left office in 2016.
He never stole money from low and middle income workers to hand tax cuts to the rich, while setting up a crypto bribe pipeline.
His speeches will go down in history as rhetorical masterpieces, with joined up coherent sentences and punctuation.
He never once felt the need to post an inflammatory vile and disgusting video about ANYONE, because he is a good and honest man, who remains to this day a beloved statesman and a man Donald J Trump will never be, even in a tan suit.

@BarackObama No, we saw age, frailty and cognitive decline on full display; it was not just a "bad night". If Biden stays he will lose to Trump and be forever held responsible for the consequences.
Only 2 days to go...

Well said Dr Indy Kapila. None of us @BMA_Consultants @BMA_JuniorDocs like this and just want to be getting back to looking after patients. The urgency of getting negotiations restarted cannot be understated. There is only one side that is refusing to talk. Credit @Channel4News
Date for your diary Saturday 11th November - A night at the musicals at Churchdown Community Centre GL3 2JH.

Historic but hugely disappointing day as @BMA_Consultants and @BMA_JuniorDocs have been forced onto the picket lines by @RishiSunak and @SteveBarclay’s intransigence and unwillingness to negotiate a fair deal for doctors
Your claps on the doorstep of Downing Street are worthless
Thank you for striking again today and until 7am tomorrow.
Your action will help #FixConsultantPay and give the NHS a better future https://t.co/v2yAkHMxOc
“Doctors remain ready and willing to negotiate a way out of the current pay disputes.” @RobLaurensonD4P@_VivekTrivedi and @Vish_Sharm form an unprecedented united front to urge PM @RishiSunak to come back to the negotiating table.
Very clear explainer of the crucial context of calls to #FixConsultantPay from @trentconsultant on @TimesRadio
“It’s not about one year” and goes back to the 2008 financial crash, since when government has “kept tightening the belt” for doctors, but not others
We like to think of paeds as a friendly speciality, and it often is - but 19% of trainees are at high risk of burnout in the latest GMC survey.
So at least a few (or maybe more?) in your work place…
Given paeds already high attrition rate we need…(1/)
Next Tues 30th May will be quite a big day. After speaking at the Oxford Union, I'll be watching Channel 4 at 10pm - the premier of the documentary Gender Wars, featuring voices from all sides, including mine. https://t.co/Llgovtruol
Reminder for brave, resilient types who think they can bear to face my ideas on gender identity - my book is on a kindle deal for 99p at the moment.
(NB Extra counselling is available for Oxford students affected by this news)
