Obama thought he could unite the Muslim world. Trump actually did

Only Trump seemed to listen to what was concerning to the Arab states.

Back in December of 2008, then President-elect Barack Hussein Obama said he’d use his middle name at his inauguration because of tradition (most presidents-elect use their full names at inauguration). But he also explained that simply by dint of having it — and, of course simply by being him, The One — he presented a “unique opportunity to reboot America’s image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular.”

Obama was absolutely cocksure he could sweep into the Middle East, riven by centuries of conflict, give a speech, and have the sun break out. Towards that effort he gave his very first post-inauguration interview to a Muslim outlet, Al Arabiya, then set off on his six-month long “apology tour.”

About five months into it, in June 2009, he went to Cairo for what the White House billed as the big kahuna, the major speech, the one he was no doubt sure would usher in his imagined Middle East Oasis of Peace. And sure enough, once again, he mentioned his middle name.

“…Much has been made of the fact that an African American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President.”

Of course, the effete and obsequious Cairo speech didn’t work, and by the sunset of his presidency, if not well before, the Muslim world had caught on to what a weakling and fraud he was and is and, well, I’ll let the below quote speak for itself. The speaker, “Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a professor of political science at Emirates University” was referring to the Muslim world and is from the region:

“‘I don't think they have a deep respect, a deep trust for Obama and his promises.’”

Obama was a sh*tty loudmouth high on his own farts. He was never qualified to do anything in his life. Even as a lawyer, he sucked, having never tried a case that anyone can find any record of. His coworkers at his law firm called him "lazy" and unproductive.

Obama was a con man, and stupid people fell for it.

One thing the Arabs (and generally Muslims) don’t like is badmouthing your tribe and family. The FIRST thing that purple lipped charlatan did was travel over seas and badmouthing his ‘tribe’ (the country). They had ZERO respect for him. They did love him though, because they knew he was weak and had a goal of bringing down America and forcing it in to the dar-al-Islam. He was so proud of his own non existent brilliance.

Obama like any other Bolshevik tossed out a name of a anti America group in hopes that people would join his tribe.

The weak are the first in line for it media approved.

Only Trump could get Israel and Saudi Arabia to agree on war aims.

Obama used the old tried and true democrat method to unite - conform or die. Iran has used that method since they overthrew the Shah. Obama used that method with Obamacare.

Trump has used the method of pushing freedom, of eliminating the real bad guys. Like the mullahs that have been ruling Iran with an iron fist. That have been spawning off hate groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Most countries “sort of” tolerate those groups. Israel has to fight them every day.

Obama’s Arab Spring (including Syria) resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees flowing into Europe. Europe should absolutely hate Obama, yet they loved him.

The Saudi’s gave Trump a royal welcome when he visited.
For obama they sent someone to pick him up as if he was a mere tourist.
