Former President Donald Trump expressed admiration for predecessor Barack Obama at a ticketed Florida event Saturday, after spending years slamming the Democrat.

Speaking at the kickoff of his four-date “History Tour” with Bill O’Reilly at an arena in Sunrise, Florida, the Republican said of Obama, “I liked him,” while also calling him “smart and sharp,” according to The Sun Sentinel.

He likes bumpstock bans also. Along with lockdowns, masks, shutting down the economy. Not too mention operation warp speed.
So you have to admit if the left wants gun control, they should bring him back. Heck they might even get more than that.

Not surprising considering.

Never trust a rich man. Especially one that wants to be president again after being gutted like a fish first go round.

"He ALWAYS says he likes his enemies. He said he liked (even LOVED) China, many many times.."

Worth noting that he was a life-long Democrat prior to running.

He made these comments (often) while running for President in 2015 and 2016.

He does so, not out of genuine admiration or love, but stylistically.

Why alienate someone when you don’t have to?

LOL. Tell President Trump to do this more! I think several problems during his Administration were the result of him “poking the bear”.

This is a stupid headline. At least he’s not like George W. Bush fist bumping Michelle Obama and not criticizing Barack for 8 years.

Oh, Trump! Praising Obama. Praising the vaccines. Hosting the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-lago. What are you doing? Stop. Stop!

Has Trump ever suggested to you that he personally dislikes Obama, that he has a problem with the vaccine he pushed to develop and that he has taken, or that has any problem with gay Republicans? Sounds like he is being the Trump he has always been rather than the Trump you may have invented in your mind.

Here is what is amazing to me. We have a conga line of those who profess to be faithful who seem to criticize anyone not in complete lockstep. I am pretty sure that it says love your enemy. One is the hardest things to do. But on one hand we rejoice when President Trump embraced his Faith and we as a forum sneer at him when he actually practices it.

So what. He likes Obama. He likes people. Just because someone is ideologically different doesn’t mean you have to hate them. This is s add of the problem and why we are where we are today. You are either 100% on a side, or you should be destroyed.

So let’s judge trump by what he has done. He has solidified the Supreme Court with justices that thus far have protected life. He brought us to energy independence. He got the border under control and even convinced Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out of the country.

He as a business man knows he needs to do business with everyone. Until we regain this forget about restoring America.

Saying he liked the term-limited Obama, who is black, gives him room to criticize future political opponents regardless of race.

Just like saying that you like Elton John’s early work allows you to say his later stuff sucked - without being calls homophobic.

Name some things President Bush and President Bush did that you did not like. Name some things you did not like about Vice President Cheney.

Yes, the problem here is Trump's instincts. They are NOT the instincts of the common man or women. He has a huge ego, and needs it to be stroked. He has collegiality even with people who should be his mortal enemies.

I was glad to vote for him in 2016 and 2020, but probably wouldn't vote for him in 2024 (if I vote for anyone for President). He has already shown that he cannot control the Deep State, and even goes along with their schemes (Fauci/Birx). What good it that? I'd rather see the country break up into pieces, frankly.

I don’t want America restored. America has become evil, and it will NEVER be restored. The best case will be a civil DIVORCE.
