President Nobama
National Review ^ | 1/16/18 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 01/16/2018 5:04:05 PM PST by randita

Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the main components of Obama’s legacy. Donald Trump continues to baffle. Never Trump Republicans still struggle to square the circle of quietly agreeing so far with most of his policies, as they loudly insist that his record is already nullified by its supposedly odious author. Or surely it soon will be discredited by the next Trumpian outrage. Or his successes belong to congressional and Cabinet members, while his failures are all his own. Rarely do they seriously reflect on what otherwise over the last year might have been the trajectory of a Clinton administration.

Contrary to popular supposition, the Left loathes Trump not just for what he has done. (It is often too consumed with fury to calibrate carefully the particulars of the Trump agenda.) Rather, it despises him mostly for what he superficially represents.

I can’t believe EBOLA didn’t make that cartoon.

Trump has clearly gotten inside the head of all my liberal “friends” and family on Facebook. Over the past week I have seen countless profanity laced posts bitching about Trump, whites (even though they are white) and how much they miss 0bama and how Trump is destroying the great nation 0bama built.

The worst one I saw was a cartoon of the Statue of Liberty crying and hugging 0bama goodbye as Trump holds a gun to her head.

He got rid of ACA? I don’t think so.

It’s time for Americans who haven’t already to take a big dose of reality. A drunken chimpanzee would have been a better president than that blithering idiot and agitator Obama.

German newsrag Der Spiegel (The Mirror) had a cover showing Trump holding a butcher knife and the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty with blood dripping from the head and the knife.

The Kenyan from Indonesian is NOT a natural born citizen and should never have been allowed to take the oath.

I wouldn’t say Dr. Hanson was a NeverTrump but he was sure skeptical and I’m certain Trump was about his last choice out of the Republican field. But Hanson’s a man grounded in reality (he’s a world class historian) and he’s come around quickly to see what an amazing job Pres T is doing.

Off Topic:....Victor Davis Hanson is an excellent writer. I usually enjoy his pieces. When I see his name in print, I am reminded of the personal tragedy that Mr. Hanson has endured, yet he continues living his life.

Nov. 20, 2014, Susannah (Suzy) Merry Hanson, daughter of Victor passed away from leukemia.

I hope after some time goes by, Eric Bolling will also find his way back to the media.

That's insulting to drunken chimpanzees. ;-)

Drunken chimpanzees ARE far more lovable and fun, aren’t they? And probably a lot cleaner too.

He stabbed ACA in the vital spots - it is bleeding out because of his efforts to push the RINOs to do their job.
