What you said above is complete and total fucking bullshit. You should know this. I think you do. And I'm not going to explain it to you. Again. But every time you say it, someone should tell you that you are full of shit. So, you're full of shit.
You're welcome.

Trump is President, elected lawfully (yes, he is). People who dislike him are and have been asserting his presidency is somehow illegitimate.
Obama was President, elected lawfully. Clinton was elected lawfully. People who disliked them asserted throughout their Presidencies that they were somehow illegitimate.
These are 1:1. In each case, the
authority of each President was identical. They were duly elected and had the power to administer their offices. I used
authority for a reason. They held identical authority under law. And the people who claimed that they did not hold that authority were never able to make the case for why they took that position.
I was citing a fallacy among the right and the left that appears to have taken hold since Clinton -- that if you don't like the winner, the winner is somehow invalid. That's bizarre thinking. If you asked Obama or Clinton haters why they took that position (and they did), they could provide no credible answer. If you ask Trump haters why they take that position, they can provide no credible answer.
I cited Bush II as an exception because there is a solid argument his Presidency was illegitimate.
I don't include you in the crowd of people who think Trump is somehow illegitimate. I assume you think he is legitimately elected and needs to be removed. I wasn't so sure about Adder.
