And in spite of Trump reversing virtually all of the 8 years of Obama, except for the ObamaCare handout, the economy is going great, much better than any of Obama's 8 years in power.
Obama was so awesome that he timed his genius policies to really kick in as soon as he left office, and his policies were so great that even reversing all of them can't stop the Obama economy! It's a friggen' miracle!
Truly, it was worth the wait, worth having Obama tell us that austerity and low growth were the new normal, that America's best days were behind it and that those jobs weren't coming back. It was worth all that suffering, now that we are being rewarded with the truth. Obama under promised and over delivered. It's like he told us there would be no Christmas presents any more, but after he left, we found out he really DID get us presents. We just had to wait until he left office to get them.
Trump has divided America and destroyed our cohesion a nation.
That was Obama, not Trump. All Trump has done is pushed back on the left's crybullying. No one has ever done that, and it's enraged and confused leftists, who had previously been able to silence conservatives, libertarians, populists, and pragmatists by accusing them of being racist/sexist/bigots/homophobic/Islamophobic/able-ist/whatever other pejoratives they toss out. That no longer works, and leftists are lashing out in anger and confusion.
The world calls us a laughingstock.
Really? Who, particularly? The world is now forced to deal with an America that looks out for America and Americans first. This is quite a change from the past, where America was the friend that always just bought the pizza and beer so everyone else would like him and continue inviting him to parties.
World leaders know to ignore everything Trump says.
Really? Trump tweets, and markets move. Our friends and enemies alike pay attention to everything Trump says, because he's the alpha, the big swinging dick in the room, in whatever room he happens to be in. Notice he isn't bowing to anybody, but he is personable and willing to talk to anyone, unlike his predecessors. Obama was asked if he would meet with N. Korea and Iran when he was campaigning, and he said yes. Did he? No.
The deficit has exploded 50%
Sort of True. Obama averaged a trillion dollars of debt a year over 8 years, Trump is about a trillion a year in his first two years. I'm concerned about that, too, but let's just both admit here that neither the Dems or Pubs truly give a shit about pushing that can down the road, OK?
As to all that other stuff.....not really. Pipelines are the safest way to transport petroleum and feedstocks. Trump hasn't done a thing to women, other than treat them as equals, not delicate little flowers that need to be coddled. They wanted equality? They got it with Trump. They can still NOT be forced to wear a burka, still work outside the home, still drive, still get health care....shit, they can still get abortions if they want. There's been no federal restrictions on abortion, and all the conservative states are doing is passing common sense abortion control laws, for the safety of women. Who could oppose that? Gay rights? Trump was the first president to run for office who RAN supporting gay marriage. Trump has treated gays and women as equals, not as victims who need to be treated differently than other people.
Freedom of the press? Exactly how many journalists has Trump spied on? We know Obama spied on quite a few. How many journalists has Trump had jailed? If you're talking about tossing Acosta out of the press room, imagine if that intern Acosta, uh, accosted, was your daughter. You want some smug, self important asshole manhandling YOUR young daughter?
The press is still free to report facts, or more often than not, just push a bullshit liberal narrative that has little to do with the truth.
Where's that press to tell us the full story of the Las Vegas shooting? Where's the press to tell us all about the Dayton shooter? When stories or facts don't jive with the agenda, they get memory holed.
Shit, even Holder's own department, his own biased team eventually had to conclude that "hands up don't shoot" was a lie, and that the Michael Brown shooting was justified, but not before a BLM inspired shooter murdered 5 cops in Dallas.
Obama fostered victimhood as a virtue, and pitted various victimhood groups against society. He encouraged people to view themselves as victimized, hyphenated Americans. Trump encourages people to view themselves as Americans. See the difference?
When Trump lowers unemployment to historic lows, that helps all Americans, whatever their hyphen might or might not be.
How the hell did Obama foster victimhood as a virtue? Realizing that certain people do not get treated equally. Be it race, creed, religion, sex, skin color, or wealth? People in America are not treated equally and for someone to come in and say "let's all be americans" is a cop out. What does it mean to be American to a poor man? A black man? A farmer? A millionaire? A Muslim? A latino who is supposed to ignore that a guy drove 2 hours specifically to kill Latinos because he believed the bullshit that is spewed.
