You've seen the list I'm sure. You know. The one that has Obama as a top 10 President - STOP LAUGHING - and Trump (despite being barely two years into the job) as among the worst.
Yeh.
Something is amiss.
Forget Obama and his eight years of splendid mediocrity and remedial leadership.
I'm going to focus on Trump.
Two things are worth noting. One, the economy is humming along (growth is solid, unemployment is low and in record numbers among blacks), and two, the United States isn't mired in any war; wars specifically started by Trump.
How these two major factors somehow have eluded historians (who don't even have the decency to wait his term (s) out) and permit them to give him such a low grade is astonishingly bizarre.
As if this isn't enough, the administration is not without significant achievement directly of Trump's doing.
Before I begin, in case any of you are paying any close attention and exercising your bull shit antennae and critical thinking skills, you'll notice behind the the conspiracy of the fabricated Russia story lies the fact Trump was right all along: United States intelligence was indeed spying not just on Americans but political figures which is against the law.
The fact that the Russia 'collusion' (now called 'interference' (think how global warming became climate change) story began within the DNC and its servers and that they refused to let the FBI investigate them because it would expose their ties to Russia (ie Hilary and Uranium One, Bill's speaking engagements, the Podesta connection to Russia, and The Clinton Foundation) coupled with the Trump campaigned being indeed a target of spying (which by the way we now know Obama was aware of thanks to the IG report) makes this bigger than Watergate. It's a scandal of huge proportions.
Yet, there's Hillary. Out there spreading her lies like a rabid sociopath.
So we can add Trump being correct as another notch in his favor - as well as, you know, having pulled the greatest upset in Presidential history. Where are we? Four points?
Ok.
Let's look at those hard achievements.
Remember when Trump was going to bring the world nuclear armageddon? The thinking (if you can call it that) went something like Rocket Man is crazy + Trump is literally Hitler = nuclear holocaust.
New thing we know. The exact opposite happens.
Peace in Korea. Not only that, South Korea explicitly gives credit to Donald Trump for it.
Just that alone makes Trump (who has not escalated any wars) more deserving of a Nobel Peace prize than Obama - who was in fact, a war monger.
Not enough for you? Look up the peace being forged between Eritrea-Ehtiopia.
Moreover, Trump does two things people have been starved to hear. One, he speaks of Western civilization in a positive light and demands we defend it. To progressives this is 'ethno-centric xenophobia' to the rest of us it's music to our ears. Two, he speaks about the persecution of Christians around the world - which is far worse than the specious claim Christianity is 'racist' against Islam. Again, to anti-religious progressives, this is irrational and runs contrary to the left-wing narrative, but to people who observe and are concerned about such things, it's refreshing.
Domestically, the President has ushered in much needed tax reforms and is in the process of hoping to achieve the same on immigration. Contrary to the perception, Americans aren't anti-immigrant; they want action on illegal immigration. This has been widely accepted for over 30 years now and SCOTUS has voted in favor of his bans.
He signed an anti-child sex trafficking law as well as a 'right to try' order.
What about the press? Aside from the fact 'news' outlets like CNN (and NYT) deserve every piece of insult hurled at them, call me when he actually rises to Obama's level of intimidating the free press.
Paris Accords? Did people notice the world continues to turn? It was the right thing to do. The Iran deal? If it was actually read by people, perhaps they'd kinda see why it was a cynical piece of crap. Iran wasn't going to normalize because of Obama's piece of slick paper. Iran was going to continue being Iran because they had no incentive to change as they conceded nothing in the deal.
True, there are some concerns here and there (it remains to be seen what his game on trade is) but hardly stuff to justify the irrational hyper-shrill hate of the guy. He hasn't taken away gay rights (not that he could even if he wanted to), he didn't deport anyone who opposes him, he isn't setting up camps to put blacks in.
We've seen this absurdity before. I remember how celebrities and the press hated Reagan and later Bush II.
All this and he's not even done.
That's why the Presidential list is a joke.
As much as the Nobel prize committee.
