Former president Obama--in an obvious shot at President Trump and his administration--stated Saturday (5/16/20) that many there "aren't even pretending" to know what they are doing. And if President Trump had just left that alone, that would have been the entire story: A former president had just taken a gratuitous shot at the current president. But President Trump--being the "counterpuncher" that he claims to be--just could not leave this alone, and allow Barack Obama (and him alone) to be seen as undignified. Instead, he shot back that the former president was "grossly incompetent." (Actually, I think that Obama was quite competent--sadly--in pushing the country further to the left.) Neither came out looking dignified, in this dustup. Comments?
Obama's not remotely left, but he is a craven war criminal, so deserving of much scorn for his crimes both foreign and domestic.
Even the faithful puppy dog Barr Barr Black sheep acknowledges there is nothing criminal to charge Obama or Biden with related to the Mueller Russia investigation. Just more Dirty Donald envy and over active imagination and his normal lying self.
Well, he is certainly much further to the left than George W. Bush (whom he succeeded), or even Bill Clinton (who came before Bush).
This is unresponsive. It is merely a dig at the current administration--without any attempt to respond directly (or even indirectly) to the OP.
Right or wrong aside i think Trump would me wise to not engage Obama in a name calling contest. Obama was incompetent as a leader of America and should know hos place and keep his ugly trap shut. He's a has been. Like Ratt telling Metallica how to play thrash metal.
Why should Trump take a slap at him, especially from Obama, and say nothing. Trump has every right to respond just as you and I do.
Actually what Obama shows us is how, under current law, the President can turn the Administration into a Spy State against his political Opponents, and yet never be charged with a crime. That's not an exoneration, that's a wake up call. If Trump was covering this up, I'd suspect that he was deploying the same tools. But, instead, Barr/Durham are getting to the bottom of it, though the way these authorities are written, there will likely be no charges against Biden/Obama, though there will be a VERY thorough report. You labor under the rather silly delusion that every wrong act is a penal violation, when clearly, that is not the case.
Baloney... Trump should continue to remind everyone why the blue wall came crashing down. AKA... More Tweets... Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · May 17 The Obama Administration is turning out to be one of the most corrupt and incompetent in U.S. history. Remember, he and Sleepy Joe are the reasons I am in the White House!!!
Obama is the one that was way out of line, devoid of civility and protocol, and..... wrong. A counter punch is a perfectly reasonable response.
Some folks, including the MSM, think when someone attacks Trump, Trump becomes the bad guy because he responds. Not me, he has every right to defend himself, his administration, and his policies/actions. Why should anyone expect Trump to allow anyone to crap on him?
Trump will never look dignified. It's his nature to act very unpresidential. He acts and has the persona, personality of a wrestler in a pre-fight interview in the WWE. Not someone who occupies the Oval Office. In short, Trump's thin skin ego always over rules anything dignified. With Obama, that's a big surprise. But he is an ex-president, not the president. Although I agree that he did looked undignified. Now that's what Trump does and wants, he wants to make whoever look as undignified as he is.
The Obama quotes for 5/16/20, “The pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending they are in charge.” “You know, all those adults that you used to think were in charge and knew what they were doing, turns out they don’t have all the answers. A lot of them aren’t even asking the right questions.” Gratuitous? Trump is in charge of the government. The CDC this, the deep state that..ummm, that’s you Don. You’re in charge of all of it. Yeah. He’s an insufferable whiner constantly running from responsibility.
If you seriously believe that Barack Obama was no further to the left than George w. Bush, then I can...well, I can only drop my jaw..
Well, Barack Obama is the one why started this particular fray (although there has been bad blood between the two for many years now). But why bother to get in a mud-wrestling match with the man? Why not just let the former president--and him alone--look petty and undignified?
But President Trump did not begin this particular fray; so it could not have been his intent to make his predecessor look undignified.
He said he doesnt' expect there to be, and basically said he would not go down the road the prior Admin did and allow the DOJ to be political weapon the way Obama and Biden did. What Barr said about the Obama/Biden regime was not something any Dem should be bragging about
Look, I'm a Trump guy but he really has to get over his boner for Obama. It is not a good look for him and almost makes him look jelly. He got his satisfaction when he won the freakin election and at this point he should be done with Obama. Its one of the few annoyances I have with Trump. Time to quit this Obama obsession Trump, please!
