You might have avoided the downvotes if you had made it clear what your point was. As it reads without the edit, it sounds like you're arguing the opposite of what your edit says.

Edit - to be clear I did not downvote

Thanks for the reply. I had thought putting quotes around threats and including "appear to be good causes" would be enough. Lesson learned!

Trump supporter? I cannot wait for Trump to be gone. If I were a Trump supporter, I would refer to him as President or President Trump. More like person who is not triggered just by the mere mention of Trump.

I never even insinuated Obama's threats were not for good causes. Part of being a president is to execute laws and regulations which includes threats of action.

Since I have no doubt someone will take my "President" comment above out of context, I will not refer to a political figure by their former position title. To me, wishing/expecting to be referred by their former position is akin to using it as a title of nobility and expecting to be treated as nobility.
