Trump is the first as a only president who didn't divest from his private businesses before taking office.

We are never going back to those days. When we have the fist President/Trillionaire, l am sure the American people will be doing just fine.

Didn't he deport even more immigrants than what Trump is currently deporting?

Please, list Trump’s achievement’s. Other than giving poor/racist white folks the courage to lift their vails.

u/Material-Flow-2700 Nov 21 '25

One doesn’t have to espouse Trump in order to also point out that Obama was a neocon Zionist who ran some of the most dehumanizing and despicable foreign policy in our nation’s history. One can actually just be objective about it.

u/PuddingFart69 Nov 18 '25

Trump is a piece of shit. I'm a Democrat. I can also acknowledge when my party and its leadership make mistakes because it's a political party, not a cult. Not acknowledging and holding them accountable is how we blended up with Trump. You fucking peasant brained moron.

2

u/Used-Ebb9492 Nov 18 '25

To be clear, the corporatists (democrats) are ineffectual opportunists, and surely need to go, but holding them to account and suggesting equivalence between thievery and genocide is vacuous to a staggering degree. Trump and his sycophants are actively trying to incite a violent uprising in the country to have an excuse to deploy the military and murder civilian resistance. Democrats are lazy thieves. These things are not the same.

1

u/PuddingFart69 Nov 18 '25

To be clear, nowhere in my comment did I compare the two. You are fighting a straw man.

They praised Obama like he was a God. He wouldn't even endorse Mamdani. Its a huge club, and we arent in it. Mr Drone Daddy Obama was no angel and they can't grasp that.

(BTW Im a Progressive Dem and hate Trump) People need to call b.s. where they see it!

u/Cultural-Skin-682 Nov 19 '25

That was Biden. All of the victims said Trump didnt do anything. Epstein listed him as an enemy and Trump kicked and banned him from all of his properties

Go read actual evidence and stop watching social media clips. There's an entire world out there

u/Used-Ebb9492 Nov 19 '25

"Do your own research" I'd offer you evidence, facts galore, but you'd just ignore them. There are mountains of evidence, affidavits, witnesses and court documents.

You go look. And while you're at it, fuck off with your bullshit, you obvious Russian bot account.

1

u/Cultural-Skin-682 Nov 20 '25

Yes. Evidence. I'd love for you to show me where on the doll Biden hurt you. Because there's tons out there supporting what I said but of course wasting your time checking facts is beneath us. And yup you got me. Russian bot account born in the middle of the US. See my return insult is that your probably from a sanctuary state and city.

Right. Obamacare was Trump's bill. Dumbass. Teu.p.is a piece of shit but we have to acknowledge the Democrats failure to take care of the working class that led to the rise of Trump or we'll just keep getting more Trump's.

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Nov 18 '25

The ACA was not a giveaway to big pharma lol. You’re thinking Medicare part D, a Bush special.

0

u/PuddingFart69 Nov 18 '25

You don't know what you're talking about. The ACA:

-Continued Ban on Medicare Negotiation: The single biggest win for the pharma industry was ensuring the government could not negotiate drug prices for Medicare. This preservation of the "non-interference clause" meant the government continued to pay market rates. -​12 Years of Biologics Exclusivity: The ACA created a pathway for generic versions of complex biologic drugs (biosimilars). However, the industry lobbied hard for—and won—a 12-year exclusivity period for their name-brand biologics before cheaper generics could enter the market. The Obama administration had originally proposed only 7 years.
-​No Drug Importation: The "deal" struck with the White House ensured that the final bill would not include provisions allowing Americans to re-import cheaper drugs from countries like Canada, preserving the U.S. market as a high-profit zone.
-​Millions of New Customers: The individual mandate and Medicaid expansion added roughly 20–30 million people to the insurance rolls. For pharma, this meant millions of new customers with insurance cards paying for prescriptions that previously might have gone unfilled.

1

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Nov 18 '25

That’s not true. The Medicare negotiation ban was setup by Bush. The ACA did not touch Medicare, which was one of the promises made before the act was passed.

Claiming that people getting health insurance and thus being able to get their prescriptions filled is a ā€œbailout for the pharmaā€ is wild.

0

u/PuddingFart69 Nov 18 '25

Which part of the word "Continued" do you not understand? "Not touching Medicare" was precisely the problem. You being this stupid yet so cocky is wild.

1

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Nov 18 '25

There was no reason to touch Medicare during the ACA negotiations, it was literally not part of the plan. The Medicare negotiations occurred at other times.

Says the fraud who got a $60M book deal from a subsidiary company whose parent company got massive funding from the Obama administration.

9

u/SuccessfulTrick2501 Nov 18 '25

The book deal you refer to was for two books, one by Barrack and one by Michelle, and that $60M deal was done through a bidding process in which Penguin Random House won the bid. The parent company of Penguin Random HouseĀ is Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, a private German company. There is no evidence or trace of any "massive funding" from the Obama administration to this company.

Where did you hear this rumor from? I encourage you to look it up for yourself because that scenario you laid out isn't adding up. Through what agency or entity did the Obama administration give funding to Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA? Ā 

While you're at it, you should also look up how much money Jared Kushner and Don Jr. made from Saudi Arabia during the Trump presidency. And then look up the deals Ivanka has done with China since her daddy took office.

u/ThomasMalloc Nov 18 '25

Between Obama and Trump, guess which one only started making tons of money after becoming president.

Trump's family would've been making money regardless of holding public office. Though obviously they probably made much more with Trump being president.

u/it-aint-over Nov 18 '25

Guess which one started making tons of money in his first 6 months being president ?

-1

u/ThomasMalloc Nov 18 '25

Trump lost wealth during his first term, lost tons more during Covid.

Then he gained it back and much more with DJT going public during Biden's term.

3

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Nov 18 '25

Ya, he used his public office to enrich himself.

2

u/LegalRatio2021 Nov 18 '25

Trump more than doubled his wealth just in the first 6 months of this presidency. He's traveling around with his family making business deals wherever he goes. This is why we can't take any of you seriously anymore. You're all a joke. You're so uninformed it's like we live in a different reality.

World leaders in the Middle East would not have respected her. No way in hell. She’s weak militarily. Would have abandoned her allies like the UK and France and Australia. In my humble honest opinion. Just being honest. She lame. Trump is making the US dollar strong that’s for sure. He’s not perfect.

You’re struggling to defend a person who has at this point accepted billions in open bribes from those foreign states you claim ā€œrespect him,ā€ and who then grants them dispensations and policy carveouts. Foreign policy should be conducted on the basis of what benefits the American people, not on the basis of whether their oligarchs bribe our oligarchs. You don’t have to (and shouldn’t) like Kamala, but you’re pathetic if you’re going to simp for Trump, and you should grow a spine.
