Trump acting like he's president — and having more impact than Obama
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec. 24, 2016 | Paul Bedard

This week's report card finds President-elect Trump already acting like he's president, and having an outsized impact, especially on Pentagon projects and foreign policy. And pollster John Zogby, noting that Trump's approval ratings seem stuck, put the blame on the Clintons who just won't give up the 2016 presidential campaign and move on.

"President-elect Trump had another busy week, diving into and shattering a lot of conventional wisdom on national security. He's acting as if he were already president and having more effect than Obama has had for the last eight years."

Trump's unconventional warfare is long overdue. In a culture war ax handles, pitchforks and crowbars are the weapon of choice.

Ain't it a Merry Christmas?

Who is this “Obama,” of which you speak?

The same polls that had Hillary winning all 57 states?

This both amazing and amusing. A man is elected to take the place of o twisted neutered tool of Islam who is a secret homosexual set up with a transgender wife and adopted kids (all history violently guarded). This back-stab to Israel isn’t the first indication of his true loyalty and he probably has more in store to degrade America’s status before leaving. Special investigation and prosecution are clearly in order or America is about doing whatever you want if you get lucky enough to gain high leadership. We are ALL accountable for our actions. I believe we should give him over to his Sharia lords and see how they regard his stash of boyfriends.

Acting as POTUS? I was of the understanding that Trump was transitioning.

May the next EIGHT YEARS be very merry. I pray daily that God has blessed America again. BUT, BUT, BUT, America HAS TO GET ON ITS KNEES and ASK GOD TO FORGIVE IT FOR ITS NATIONAL AND PERSONAL SINS!!! Yes, I’m yelling, because it is the only way God is going to bless America. God heard the prayers of Christians this past election and sent Donald Trump. I also believe in my heart of hearts God also said that Hillary Klinton was not going to be rewarded with winning that election. So, God is listening and watching to see what we do in the next four years. Trump can just as easily lose the next election if God decides He is done with America. National and personal repentance is the only way this nation is going to SURVIVE!

I have to agree. Isaiah 9:10. Repentance is the key to restoring America.

Nature abhors a vacuum. There's been a void of American leadership the past 8 years and some before that. The world hungers for it. Obama will be treated and regarded appropriately. Only the media will be on his side, albeit they are on life support and have no credibility.

You are so right. People forget that without divine intervention, we would be looking at a Clinton dictatorship. We came within a few thousand votes in three states of getting exactly that!

I believe that Obama and his ilk will do everything they can legally and illegally to make sure PE Trump does not succeed. Obama is not going away.The cabal that got/bought him the Presidency represents a clear and present danger to PE Trump. I pray daily for his safety and that of our country.

A friend on Facebook asked what Trump was going to do about Aleppo.....his sister pointed out that Obama was still President and the American response was his responsibility. Of course, there was no reaction from Obama.

Clinton dictatorship

That's exactly what it would have been. It would have been the end of America.

I’d wager that, despite his kind words for Obama, he sized him up and knew how much crap Obama was going to throw around in the waning weeks, which led Trump to decide to grab the bull by the horns early to put the nation and the world on notice that what is happening now will not be happening come 20 January...

Obama never acted like a President.
He’s just the squatter in the White House.

I’ve pointed that out to a few people... and the lesbian Muslim American of syrian decent (who’s lead singer of a local rock band or women) was upset with me because trump said bad things years before he ran for and won the presidenay.

Seriously. I wonder how long she’d last in an Islamic country....

Trump is more of a President already than Obama will ever be. Barry O never acted like a president for all the people;
He’s just a sorry ass liberal. I'll be able to put my flags back up on 21 Jan 2017......
