Being proud doesn ' t mean they think they ' re the best . I ' m proud to be spanish or catalan , really but I don ' t think Spain is BETTER than other countries . <| sep |> I know deflection is the greatest conservative counterpoint but it ' s getting lame . Trump is the president elect , he should be held to standards of the office of the presidency not in comparison to his general election opponent . Seems to me the linked story is about the Clintons . If anyone was deflecting here , it wasn ' t me . Neither of them is in office now , but only one of them was when they sold out our national interest . There exists a real conflict of interest in the current situation and it seems the president elect doesn ' t give two shits about to utilizing the power of being the leader of the free world to increase the wealth of his family ' s personal empire . One of the two candidates in the general election has a documented history of doing exactly that while in office . The histories of both candidates showed it was likely they would do more of it . That ' s on both the Democrats and the Republicans for choosing corrupt criminals as their candidates .
