Every aspect of Obama's presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.Ā  Ā The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

Obama: Brokers a deal with Iran where they agree not to develop a nuclear weapon and let us inspect.

Trump: Rips up that deal, that they're fully complying with, without involving our representatives in Congress. Starts bombing civilian infrastructure, elementary schools, etc. Walks back his stated goals and outcomes from this illegal non-congressionally-approved war, until he's left screeching that they "will never develop a nuclear weapon!!"

Obama was an actual statesman, leader, adult, etc. Trump is an especially dangerous combination of evil and stupid.

He is Bibi’s bitch. Mossad has quite the file on Trump’s predilection kids thanks to Epstein. This file makes Trump do anything Bibi wants including the destruction of perceived threat(s) utilizing the military.

More of a prostitute, really. He is and always has been for sale to the highest bidder. He'd sell your grandmother in a package deal with his own for a dollar.

u/Willthisaccountlas 16h ago

They didn't need a file on him. He has narcissistic personality disorder and the people put him in charge of the military. There was no way he was not going to play the part of using the military to fight a war and be the person making those decisions. We were always going to end up attacking someone.

Don't understate his failure.

We had to leave the entire region.Ā  Our bases were evacuated.Ā  We built an alliance with the gulf Coast for decades only to be run out of the region in a month.Ā  They've even reached Jordan last week...Ā  By 2028 USA might be out of the middle east entirely

u/Sasquatch1729 8h ago

Bush was worse, far worse.

He collapsed the US economy, which had huge knock on effects for the global economy.

His wars in the middle east led to a lot of death and destruction for years after he left. My country sent a lot of troops to the middle east to support the US through the Bush Jr wars. Many hundreds of thousands of civilians were dead by January 2009, thanks to the violence Bush Jr caused. Trump has done the same with Iran, but not on the same scale.

That said, Trump does have the potential to surpass Bush Jr, and has certainly burned a lot more of the US's goodwill and reputation with the allies than Bush ever did with his Iraq stupidity.

You could argue that a lot of what Trump is doing with respect to ICE, and mass surveillance are bad, but guess when the legal framework was set up for all this. Bush set up DHS, the Patriot Act legalized mass surveillance, his administration set the precedent where people can get put on a no-fly list by a secret court with no right to defend themselves (God forbid if you share the name of someone identified as a terrorist, like David Smith for example, all the Dave Smiths are on the no-fly list).

Bush was no golden age, it only seems that way because a lot of the consequences of his time in office kicked in later. He paved the road that Trump is marching on now.

Last night Trump was asked by a reporter why he wants to give away over a trillion dollars when we're already over $40 trillion in debt, and he responded "It’s almost a reward for the people having to put up with Biden’s policy."

Our President has Biden Derangement Syndrome.

u/Wrong_Chicken_5916 21h ago

I like how we’re still even talking about Biden. I’m shocked we haven’t blamed Biden for the war in Iran.

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s mind and it’s honestly hilarious to me. Obama doesn’t think of you at all.

No you right, I didn’t even notice it was from so long ago. I mostly just wanted to roast the Don.

I think we should fire every Politician and replace them with people who actually want to make this country better. But then have all the current politicians join a reality tv show about government.

The problem is that people who want to make the country better dont want to be politicians

They should draft people to serve in Congress. You might get some that aren't inherently crooked.

It's been an idea for a while. It's mentioned in one of Arthur C. Clarke's books about a distant colony planet's government

Random lottery to select citizens for a 4 year term in office

  1. Between 18 and 65
  2. Must be in good mental and physical health (You're likely to be alive and well at the end of 4 years
  3. no criminal record
  4. must not want the job

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP - April 5, 2026

Remember when live audiences would gasp and clutch their pearls when a dirty word was uttered by a guest on a talk show and the same people then went and proudly supported this war-mongering paedophile - three times?

From the Vanity Fair article in 1990.

"It was four years ago (1986). Donald and Ivana Trump were seated at opposite ends of their long Sheraton table in Mrs. Marjorie Merriweather Post's former the Mar a Lago dining room. They were posed in imperial style, as if they were a king and queen. They were at the height of their ride, and it was plenty glorious. Trump was seen on the news shows offering his services to negotiate with the Russians. There was talk that he might make a run for president."

The US is a vassal state of Russia. Their leader obeys only Putin and nobody else. He's been a stooge for the Russians since the 1980's. Wake up.

All the Western democracies are still tinkering around the edges while Putin's puppets in other countries seize control.

The absurdism that's a result of the hypocrisy is the point. It's ultimately meant to undermine democracy.

Our Obsession with Hypocrisy Is Making Things Worse. In an era of callouts and gotchas, endlessly hunting out contradictions distorts the problems we’re trying to solve. Our drive to kill hypocrisy breeds more hypocrisy.

u/SweetPrism 23h ago

You know you're a successful cult leader when there is actual proof that every single thing you've ever said is hypocritical, and you don't lose any followers. I do not think Trump has ever said one single thing that someone couldn't fact check and debunk, but he's stronger than ever. Howard Dean made a weird noise and it destroyed his entire campaign.

"Don't let Obama do it", but I can do it.

Trump is a joke.

On top of this he is calling for his voters to cheat the election. He called other elections fraudulent with zero proof yet is here, directly calling for a fraudulent election.

He is the ultimate joke on America and the World.

There’s no party of free everything in America. There is nothing free and has never been anything free in America. That’s marketing to divide and conquer poor people while rich are wiping their asses with billion dollar checks.

u/Sijols 22h ago

more like the party of "we will use public money on programs that help citizens"

the republicans on the other hand are the party of taking your money and giving it to trump and his friends. that's what you voted for, to make him personally richer and everyone else poorer
