He says that as if not sharing his Marxist vision is somehow a crime. The hubris of this man is simply breathtaking.

I certainly hope Trump does not share Obama’s vision of America. I’m relieved that he does not.

Not sure I get what you mean.
In 2008 when it mattered, Donald Trump was a private citizen.

Let me translate:

“I am half-white, so I hate myself. I am ill-equipped to do anything other than scoop ice cream (if supervised) but I became President of the United States of America! I can practice my Muslim faith and my diametrically opposed homosexuality and NO ONE calls me on it! I have become wealthy beyond my wildest dreams...and I didn’t have to do a thing other than show up and read a teleprompter!

And because of ALL of this, I HATE America and what She stands for!”

*SPIT* Count your BLESSINGS, you POS!

Ya, being another socialist sh*t hole doesn’t really have broad appeal.

Former President Obama's measure of the Current President Trump confuses and fails to meet what might be an older, wiser and more reliable standard by which American citizens can evaluate their President.

Below are the words of the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, in his 1801 Inaugural Address. Jefferson laid out what might be considered to be an appropriate description of the philosophy and role of an American presidency:

(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;

- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;

- enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;

- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter

—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?

- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,

- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.

- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;

- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;

- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;

- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;

- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;

- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;

- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;

- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;

- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;

- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;

- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;

- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;

- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.

These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural

Exactly.
What would our side even do about it?
They did nothing before.
What does our side actually do about anything except lay everything on Trump alone?
I’m sick of it.

It not possible to open an investigation to finally put an end to that story?

Of course, we are in 2018 and Crooked Hillary has not been fully questioned.

Liberals appear to have no actual vision of what the America they would create might be like. I am reminded of a quote from an interview of the radicals of the Weather Underground after a conference they held in the late 60s. It was reported that during their gathering one of the participants asked what they would do if they did succeed in destroying our government. The reply was, "We'll rebuild it. But, this time we'll be in charge"

The elites are simply obsessed with power and control and the very rich liberals in business, sports and entertainment who follow them seem to think they will continue to be rich and privileged when our society collapses. I think they would be in for a very rude surprise.

That would get him impeached and removed because both parties were complicit in violating the Constitution.

People have been killed to keep the truth about Barry and Hillary hidden.

I think we’ve had a glimpse of the future of American elections...they are about to transition from chaos to extreme violence.

No. Trump thankfully doesn’t share odumbo’s vision of America. Bammy wanted to transform from what was working to a proven false economic and foreign policy position.
