FALSE EQUIVALENCY. More and more we see false equivalency comparing what past Presidents did to what Tweety is doing, and they miss the point OFTEN.
So we compare Presidents on three categories: sex life, money, and taxes? Folks, there is a lot more to being President!
FALSE EQUIVALENCY. Do you know what it is?
"False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency."

So many examples to stupid, false comparisons of how Tweety is criticized when he does not deserve it . . .
Tweety instincts are CEO-like, full of autocratic and tyrannical motives. Compare the CEO to a real President, JFK, who is famous for asking not what yoyur country can do for you, but rather what we can do for our country.
Tweety is inclined to be ANTI-DEMOCRACY, ignore the rule of law, like many CEOs. Tweety wants to get away with our country's treasure. JFK believed in democracy, law and order [Although he had a fight with the FBI.] and did not work, as Tweety has worked, to undermine Congress and the Justice system, or use police to brutalize suspects, or cast immigrants as rapists. JFK has not interest in stealing America's treasure as he had more than enough wealth without stealing resources.
This cartoon trying to equate JFK to Trump is incredibly disingenuous. The cartoon takes the cake. Tweety lies to our face with alt-facts and truthful hyperbole, is racist, and cannot be trusted in any scenario.
Comparing Tweety to JFK is a travesty. Tweety supporters think the sex life of Presidents is the basis of JFK's heroism. Tax cuts? Just for fact-based history, Kennedy's tax cut was pushed through Congress by LBJ because Kennedy had been assassinated (22 Nov 1963).
"JFK's Lasting Economic Legacy: Lower Tax Rates"

"Most historians say Kennedy's long-term economic impact was profound but complicated. Virtually all agree that in the short run, his policies did contribute to that golden era of the mid-1960s when the United States was enjoying one of the most robust economic expansions in history."
Also, take note, Kennedy got things done in his short tenure! Tweety has no achievement to compare to Kennedy!
Final point - Kennedy was far better than Tweety at accomplishing work!
"That boom came after Kennedy got Congress to try to stimulate the economy by passing a "liberal" agenda that included:
- Increasing the minimum wage.
- Expanding unemployment benefits.
- Boosting Social Security benefits to encourage workers to retire earlier.
- Spending more for highway construction."
More.
"So for the half century ever since, liberals and conservatives have been debating the lessons of the Kennedy-backed tax cuts. But Allen Matusow, author of The Unraveling of America: A History of Liberalism in the 1960s, says this much is clear: The cuts were game changers. Marginal tax rates never returned to the very high levels of the early 1960s, he says."
"How to Think About Corporate Tax Cuts"
Economic View By JUSTIN WOLFERS MARCH 30, 2018
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/30/business/how-to-think-about-corporate-tax-cuts.html
". . . the economic case for corporate tax cuts has almost nothing to do with what corporations do with the extra cash."
More.
"Mr. Trump boasts that he’s put more money in the hands of corporations and that they are using it to give bonuses to their workers. Many critics counter that the recent spike in stock buybacks shows the money isn’t going to anything useful like financing new investments."
More.
"The tax cut showers cash on corporations indiscriminately, not just on those with great investment ideas. Some companies now have extra cash but no ideas to spend it on. For them, the best response is to return the money to shareholders, through higher dividends and stock buybacks.
Whether that money will bolster the economy depends on what shareholders do with these unused funds."
Final word.
"Neither stock buybacks nor bonus announcements say much about whether the tax bill is working. That remains an open question. It’s simply too early to tell."
We'll see in a year or so what Tweety's tax cuts do for America. I think it will take a miracle for the economy to do what he needs it to do to save us from record huge deficits.
By the way, Kennedy physically stood up against Russia from the beginning, on the high seas, against missiles in Cuba, while Tweety hides behind an attack on Syria for gassing the Syrian people, women and children!
