I figure Trump’s supporters have to brag it up now. This is the apogee of the Trump administration. It’s all going to start going downhill on January 20. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > You really shouldn’t compare the election of Obama to the election of Trump. Obama is smart, careful, kind, and informed. What adjectives would you use to describe Trump? Even his biggest fans seem to think he’s an asshole. Not to be confused ad a Trumpee, but Obama was a weak President. If hr was all you mentioned, a clown like Trump could never have been elected. Obama is a distant, unqualified (because of lack of experience) man. The world and the USA would have been a better place had Hillary won in 2008. ---

In two years the U.S. unemployment rate will be at least two points higher. I wonder if any Trumpists want to take bets it won’t. You aren’t a snowflake if you’re pointing out a real problem. ---

Obama is a distant, unqualified (because of lack of experience) man. The world and the USA would have been a better place had Hillary won in 2008. If Obama was “unqualified” due to lack of experience, Trump must be _negatively_ suited to the job. But anyway… how was Obama weak? I get that he was frequently _called_ weak, but what are some actual examples of weakness? ---

Enjoy your time in the sun. Dems ran the one person who could lose. They won’t make that mistake again. I wouldn’t count on that, there seems to be a very strong resistance to learn the lessons from this debacle. IMO someone like Trump could only get to where he is now when the level of political discourse reaches rock bottom levels, do you see many people trying to rise that level? What I see is more of the same, further descent into in-group dynamics, people who want to see things get better giving up due to an increasingly toxic environment and others that want to see things get worse because they just love the whole sorry spectacle. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > . . . how was Obama weak? I get that he was frequently _called_ weak, but what are some actual examples of weakness? Well! He couldn’t close Guantanamo, and he couldn’t send troops to Syria, and he couldn’t even get a Supreme Court Justice nominated! It’s like the Russian in the musical “Chess” – “Running for my life, and never looking back in case there’s someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I’d fall.” ---

The vow to make Obama a one-term president on day one was a temper tantrum of epic proportions. Were you kicked in the head so many times that you don’t recall?
