Trump on Obama in 2009: "I Think He's Doing A Really Good Job...He's Totally A Champion"
Buzz Feed ^ | 7/13/2015 | Andrew Kaczynski

Well I think that he's sort of a guy that has just a wonderful personality, a good speaker, somebody that people trust."

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised president Obama in 2009 in his book Think Like A Champion and on CNN's Larry King Live.

Trump...wrote of Obama in his book, "What he has done is amazing." ...

Trump also wrote he thought Obama "has the mark of a strong leader" and said Obama's comments on the economy "have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level." ...

He has also surrounded himself with very competent people...

He has surrounded himself with very competent people?

So they know how to negotiate?

Limbaugh agrees with Trump! Limbaugh thought the same of Obama and that's why Limbaugh wanted Obama to fail! /s.

Trump wanted Bush impeached? Hmmmmm.

Has he ever said he wanted the same for Obama?

Inquiring minds want to now... LOL.

“What he (Obama) has done is amazing.”

- Donald Trump, 2009


I’m amazed, too.. but not through the same prism Trump was looking through.

Trump may or may not be actually a Conservative. He is the Man on Horseback. Such a one is good for a return to Glory for the failing nation he rescues but that is fleeting and tends to end at Waterloo or in Empire as with Octavian.

Bush probably should have been impeached for listening to YebBer! way too much about and not doing anything effective about illegal immigration and being a Dem punching bag for years.

I guess like a lot of other Obama voters, He has buyers remorse? Or he “evolved” on the issue? Or would that be a double standard to point that out or affect the narrative ? just curious.

As Mark Stein pointed out on Rush Limbaugh’s show—The republican party has been staunchly pro life for years.

What do we have to show for it?

Planned parenthood selling body parts.

It’s good to be right on the issues it may be better to be somebody who is not a chickensh*t, who can get stuff done.

I am not sure what the anti-Tump establishment is saying here. Didn’t they say “elect us and we will STOP OBAMA CARE” .
after we turned out for them, they funded obamacare 4 times!! They funded illegal amnesty!! Get out of here with 7 year old meaningles blabber!! Trump has stated repeatedly he was hopeful in obama but that he turned out to be the worst president in history. We all know that. What a feeble attack line.

You know, I have a new original thought for your teeny tiny noggin....maybe not everybody who is anti Trump is pro establishment. I know, I know, that thought never occurred to you.

Expand your microbial horizons dude.

If Trump does it he is “evolving” but if others do it then Trumpsters will say they are just putting their fingers up into the political wind to see which way the winds are blowing. See how it works? /s

Trump, has said that when Obama first came on the scene, he thought that the guy was going to succeed. He wanted him to succeed. After awhile it was clear that the guy was incompetent.

So, what exactly is your point?
