There is a difference between acting presidential and being the President. Last night, Donald Trump read from the teleprompter, followed his speech, and performed a role for 50 minutes. But we, the American people, have learned not to trust the words that Trump says, not after we've seen him compulsively lie over and over again. We judge Trump not on the words he reads from a teleprompter, but by the reckless decisions he has made since taking office, decisions that say much more about the type of President he wants to be than any speech he will ever give. We judge Trump not by comparing him to the low bar he sets for himself, but rather by seeing how small he is in comparison to the great Americans who previously held that office and showed us that it is the actions and decisions of a President, not just their words, that define their successes and failures. The Trump of today is the same as the Trump of yesterday, and we know exactly what to expect from the Trump of tomorrow. That is why we must continue to hold him, and all of Congress accountable, and not get swept up in applauding a President for simply speaking as a President should.
