when Obama made Hillary his SOS. What could go wrong? What a disaster that strategy turned out to be.Actually, it worked out great.
Hussein Obama was able to get the Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt.
Hussein Obama with the help of useful idiot Hillary Clinton overthrew the government in Libya. That is still a work in progress as the Muslim terrorists try to takeover the remains of the country.
Hillary was right up there with Hussein lying about Benghazi and the YOUTUBE movie.
Hillary helped moved weapons given to terrorists in Libya to Syria where the wars to put Muslim terrorists into power continue even now.
Hillary would have continued to flood Muslims into the US. From Hussein Obama's point of view, it was going to be a continuation of his pro-Muslim Presidency.

This is not bad, if I were Trump I would try to get Obama to believe that the success of Trump is tied to Obama. I would use that as a way to dull his critisism and unite blacks in around Trump. Believe it or not, blacks are very proud of Obama. Not because he was the best or because he did the best job but because he showed that Black people are a full part of the country and can also lead it. There is nothing wrong with that giving the history of the country. Giving Obama credit for your coming success would go a long way to help with the democraphic and I would imagine it could be done with words in most part. If I were Trump, I would add this to my speech in Michigan:
We are going to make America great again and for those who think it cannot be done and that our best days of behind us; to those who think we can't bring back manufacturing jobs, to those who think we can't fix our healthcare system, to those who think that our veterans can't find help to from those who they've served and to those who think we cannot long endure we offer the call of our President, "Yes We Can!, "Yes We Can, Yes We Can" [Crowd repeats and repeats].

I think Trump can appeal to Obama’s fragile ego through flattery and learn whatever he think will benefit him in the future.
Plus it keeps things smooth to give the illusion of seeking Obama’s advice, regardless of whether he heeds it.

That’s pretty much vintage Donald, who will flatter his foes to pieces before flattening them.

I wouldn’t be choosing to flatter if I were in Donald’s position, but that seems to be his mannerism at the moment. Some say that diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie while hunting for a stick. It’s the kind of hopeful fiction that was used by the bishop in Les Miserables, in which story the thief actually accepted the hint. It won’t always work on its face, but at the very least it makes the person look like an utter cad for disappointing Donald.

I am hoping Trump gets handcuffs slapped on OZero the instant Trump finishes the Oath of Office.

This tells me two things:
1) DJT knows how to charm people.
2) BHO was really sick of dealing with HRC.

Is Trump talking to his two Bush predecessors?

It’s a higher plane of existence. Trump pops up there, and there’s Obama. “Oh, hi! How ya’ doin’ ?”

Trump is cunning and smart. He now speaks softly but you can bet he carries a big stick
