Well said. One reads through a teleprompter, a serial liar, and seals his private records in a DC law firm.

One is based on competence (Trump), the other is a narcissistic personality disorder of the highest order...

Obama is going to run with the narrative that he was every bit as presidential as Trump is.

It will never dawn on him that he hadn’t done, evidenced, or accomplished anything prior to being elected president.

It will never dawn on him how inept he was as president.

It will never dawn on him what a sick and twisted view of history he has.

It will never dawn on him what a sick and twisted perception he has, about what ideologies should lead out globally at this present time.

He looks around the world, sees the big ideologies of our day, and actually thinks Islam figures in on an even footing with Western values or even leading contemporary values.

What have the leading nations of Islam accomplished? We could address some of the wealthy oil conglomerates, but what real creativity does that address? What is the standard of living of it’s women and children? Are their rights reasoned?

You have children being married off before ten. You have women treated as cattle. You have women being mutilated so they can’t enjoy sex. You have women stoned for being raped. If a woman is raped, she may even be gifted to the rapist in marriage to keep her from being seen as defiled.

Islamic adherents are do depraved, they see the West as deserving of being destroyed on general principles. The men come to the West and rape women at will. They destroy property, riot, and demand the West govern them by new rules, not the West’s rules.

Obama observes all this, and thinks Islam must become the test the West must be judged by. Islam being judged by the West, why that would be evil.

He’s such a wanker, he actually claimed that Islam had a very strong role in the forming of our government.

All this makes him Trump’s equal?

Obama is stuck on nine years old.

His legacy will live on for only weeks and months, for they will not live on in the hearts and minds of men even in our nation.

Trump’s legacy will live on for decades and hundreds of years, for they will return us to the values that the nation was founded on, so that they can and will live on in the hearts and minds of mankind.

Yeah, Trump loves America, believes in the rule of law and the American people.

Obama doesn’t.
