If it were Obama we'd never ever have heard of hirings or firings the way we do with Trump.
You keep saying that but you can never back it up.

It's all part of the witch hunt.
The term "witch hunt" implies looking for something that isn't real. In this case, the witch is real, so ironically, it isn't a witch hunt.

No, there was no witch, it's been nothing but a witch hunt from the beginning.
Then why have there been so many indictments? The so-called "witch hunt" found a lot of wrong-doing by people Trump hired. If he isn't bright enough to hire decent people, at least the so-called "witch hunt" was useful enough to root them out.

... they merely, rightly, objected to his positive remarks about a murderous Communist regime.
If the positive remarks were true, there's no justification for objecting to them.

Actually even if they were true they were right to object to them because the implication of such a positive statement is that it seems to justify or at least gloss over what was the murderous Communism of Cuba.
Good things are good things even if they're done by bad people.
​
And you don't seem to mind glossing over the murderous gangsterism that Castro replaced.

I don't know anything about what Castro replaced so I'm not glossing over everything.
That's glossing over it right there. How do you know Castro wasn't an improvement?
