    Hillary wouldn’t have pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement (the deal still doesn’t go far enough to combat climate change). At least she’s wise enough to know it exists and doesn’t think it’s a hoax

    Her tax plan helped regular, everyday folks more than Trump’s giveaway to the rich. The top 1% received 83% of the tax cuts of his plan. Very lopsided giveaway to the rich. What happened to helping out the “forgotten man?”

    Obama’s last year in office = 87,000 jobs outsourced

    Trumps first year in office = 93,000 jobs outsourced

    Thought he was looking out for American workers and bringing jobs back to the US?

    Trump = the greatest con man and establishment b---- boy ever

    Just because he calls CNN fake news doesn’t mean he’s anti-establishment. He is 100% pro establishment and his policies reflect it. He’s just a loud mouth bully who doesn’t appear “kind and proper” like other presidents. And that appeals to folks who are overly obsessed with the culture war and ignorant of actual policy.

    The inhumanly high standards of "not committing war crimes". What a purity test.

    d--- I’m the only relatively right winger in this place rip. Obama was a great face as a president but he let the US get walked over internationally. Obama also talked up the BLM movement heavily as president which riled up a lot more people into rioting with the movement - which is NOT what the country needed. Michelle also had over 15 people working under her getting paid loads of tax dollars all to make our school lunches a s--- ton worse. Now Obama WAS the perfect president for post GWB, and did a lot better than I think any of the RINOs he was running against would have done. I really don’t know what Obama could have done besides bail out a lot of banks from the Big Short, since that big f--- up could have destroyed our economy.

    Trump has solidified America as a nation that says “f--- You, we are top dog” to the rest of the world. If you’re American, I don’t understand how that isn’t beneficiary. He shut down North Korea so f---ing fast. The Tariff with China needed to happen because all of the world’s big tech is set up there after the first few years of his presidency and we had to swing our d----s on them. Do I wish he stopped tweeting? Yes I do. Do I wish CNN and Fox News would stop brainwashing all Americans to hate each other? Yes I do.

    As an outsider looking in, it's a resounding YES from me. But I'm not American so I only see the highlights of his Presidency.

    A few things to keep in mind:

    - Bailed out the businesses responsible for the 2008 financial crisis
    - Pardoned any banking execs from facing criminal charges
    - Expanded the surveillance state
    - Expanded the drone assassination program, taking the lives of children, civilians, and US citizens
