AH yes, I am so horrified that Trump goes counter to 'the experts.' Why just look, the experts all knew that the 1929 stock market crash was just a temporary correction & that HMS Titanic was unsinkable.

His record of accomplishment would astonish you and was accomplished despite a record number of filibusters in his way Trump has made every effort to over turn all he managed to accomplish in just one year

Trump is making the same mistakes Bush Jr did... & we all know how that worked out... it seems that half our population isn't very sharp...

The "big beautiful wall" is nothing but a Trump lie and pipe dream, and we'll save tons of money by not building it. Anyway, much smarter heads want tech and NOT concrete. I thought Mexico was going to pay.

He is putting up some fencing, that will satisfy his minions.

Tsk tsk. Not EVERYTHING Trump does is wrong. I'm sure he flushes the toilet when he's finished with his business and through tweeting.

" it seems that half our population isn't very sharp..."

You're VERY right...they v**ed for BOBO, TWICE, and then the BEAST !!!!

kemmer

Worse, they put that ignorant, unhinged libertine in the WH.

El Stupido (Trump) has been bought, lock, stock and barrel, by the very people he promised to eliminate: Deep State. And Global Deep State.

THEY know what they are doing, Trump does not.

kemmer

Isn’t it strange that cons refer to anyone who thinks [knows] Trump is a dangerous loose cannon in the WH is part of a “deep state”?
The “deep state” is currently about 70% of the American public.

Marsinah

I'm beginning to think so too. They've managed to have a big impact. Especially after they took control of the American education system (referring to the compleat VELGDS) and have misinformed the youth of America, so as to put in office politicians who can put through their horrendous agenda.

kemmer

Umm... And just what “horrendous agenda” would that be?

His record of accomplishment (one) is the biggest mistake ever. Thank God every time Trump turns over one of Obummer's mistakes.

What has Barack Obama done that gets so many people angry?

Answered Oct 3


I’m a white guy who grew up poor in a family that had been uneducated for generations. I learned the social sk**ls that were needed in my historically uneducated environment. I did not know it at the time, but that environment was marking me as a kind of outsider. My poorness showed, not as obviously as the color of one’s skin, it was slightly more subtle and difficult to discern but it was there nonetheless. Perhaps if I had known about it, if someone had warned me about it, then I could have “passed” more easily, but by the time I realized it I also realized that it was inspired by ignorance and I had no desire to belong, to pass, any more. Some would likely describe this as a chip on one’s shoulder. So be it. I would describe it as being disgusted with ignorance and having a decided preference for honesty.
Most people raised in upper middle class and upper class environments want to believe they are there because they are genetically superior. The notion that their “place” in society has not been earned is abhorrent and disconcerting. It exposes them as frauds and causes them to question the ease with which they are living life and the harshness experienced by those who were raised, like me, in lower socioeconomic environments, purely due to the randomness of one’s parents and childhood. Consequently, when I showed up in these upper middle class environments, performing better in classes, having to work less hard in school to attain better results; when I could craft, on the fly, an argument that could eviscerate the instructor or other students it was doubly humiliating. Not only had I won the argument; a poor lower class student from an uneducated family had made a fool of them intellectually and publicly. I was probably also a bit of an ass about it, which obviously did not help, but that was how things were done where I grew up and I didn’t even realize I was being an ass.
In a sense, this is no one’s fault. Just as I learned the social sk**ls that worked in my poor environment, these elitist views are the social sk**ls learned, directly and indirectly, by those in upper middle class and upper class environments. They are taught they are superior and their environments support the illusion. They are taught lower middle class people are naturally inferior, and their environments support the illusion, until someone like me comes along and makes them question this whole false and inane structure of elitism that keeps perpetuating the harm that is attributed to nature.
Obama is a far more extreme version of this than I would ever be. Not only was he smarter than others, he is smoother socially, he is more loving and caring, he is gentler and more understanding, he is funnier, he is tall, and he likely has a larger penis to boot. Damn - of course all these white elitist h**e him. If I could cause little tremors here and there as a poor white kid, Obama is a like a 9.0 earthquake causing a tsumani and a hurricane all at once. But given all that, how was he able to climb the ladder to the very top…?
The answer actually makes him even more h**ed in the end. He never challenged people, the way I did for their elitism. When he ran for President, he rarely mentioned race or the “historical” importance of electing a black man. He never talked about the struggle of black people and he seemed to realize that those struggles are a different shade, a darker one to be sure, that all people experience. Others talked about it a lot, but he did not run as the man who could be the first black President. He ran as the best choice for everyone. And he was, and still is.
I miss Obama as President, so much so that as I am writing this I am tearing up, but I am even more saddened that he has disappeared since leaving office. I know he has earned a respite, but I hope, hope, it was not all a good facade. The best people in the world do not make the world better by telling others what to do. They make the world a better place by being who they are, simply being good, because that is who they are and that light shines on others and brightens the world around them, inspiring others to look within and reveal the goodness that can shine like a star on others around them as well. We still need to see his goodness in the world. It was and is rare and it needs to shine to balance so much of what is contrary since he has left office.
