Obama had integrity; Trump is qualitatively different

Despite disagreeing with most of Obama's policies, Frum holds Obama was a man of personal integrity whose misstatements (e.g. 'keep your doctor') were political art or honest errors rather than conscious Trumpian lies, making Obama not analogous to Trump, who is qualitatively different from anyone in American history.

Obama was a man of personal integrity. And I I hope that politics allows one to say, man, I I completely disagree with 85% of what this politician did, but I respect the way in which he did politics.
