Obama has no leadership presence over the various agency and departments under him.
-Obama stated that the Justice Dept will respect state marijuana laws. DEA pretty much holds no regard for state marijuana laws and still busts dispensaries on a regular basis.
-General Breedlove, US Force Europe, continues to make belligerent statements in regard to Russia in Ukraine. Seems contrary to Commander-in-Chiefs position. General Breedlove is not the only general who has second-guessed Obamas policy in public.
-Assistant Sec of State Victoria Nuland, orchestrated funding for the Ukrainian Coup. It didn't seem like the Obama administration was prepared to deal with the potential hazards of that action.
-Sec of State Clinton and "Hillary's War in Libya." ""Top Pentagon officials and a senior Democrat in Congress so distrusted Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2011 march to war in Libya that they opened their own diplomatic channels with the Gadhafi regime in an effort to halt the escalating crisis, according to secret audio recordings recovered from Tripoli." Basically, Obama let her run amok without any oversight.
Also, Obama garners no respect from foreign dignitaries. Russia snubs Obama.
He is routinely snubbed by Republican senators and congressmen. The Young Turks
It's weird. How is it that everyone can diss President Obama all the time? It's like they know he is some kind of puppet.
America needs an "asshole-in-charge" to tell the truth and change things. America needs Trump. That's if TPTB don't kill him first.

At first, I didn't believe his act. But when Republican and Democratic party members go on TV and state "someone needs to put a bullet in him", there's a tone of desperation in their words. Trump may say some crazy shit but it is crazier to call out for an assassination of someone on TV.
Trump may have been a controlled opposition figure at one time with no expectations of winning. Hence, he did and said whatever he wanted. But, at some point he realized he could win. What egomaniac wouldn't pass up a chance to be president.

All you morons who think that Trump is controlled opposition need to learn what those words mean.

You're right, "controlled opposition" is not the right word. I thought Trump was there to eventually split the Republican Party by going Independent (like Ross Perot) and pave the way for a Hillary Clinton victory.

Obama, Trump- they are all same sides of the coin. In fact, there is no coin. There has never been a coin. The coin was an illusion to give you the idea that you had a choice in what was happening in your world. In reality, we are slaves when we are born and we'll be slaves when we die.

We don't need an alpha authoritarian warhawk in office. WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WILL FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE.
Trump can easily be just another Obama. He has NO track record of serving the people.

You're high as shit. Trump doesn't know jack shit about politics.
[–] dontwatchtv [S] 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Trump knows that everything is bought in DC.
[–] frankenham 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
By all means it doesn't take a genius to understand that. I think why Trump appeals to so many is because his understanding of politics is so lacking and is relatable to the majority of U.S. citizens.

Not that I think Trump is going to get elected...however, if he was president, I could see him being just deft enough to play the various interests and parties against one another. He might not have immediate familiarity with overall politics in DC, let alone arcane protocol and procedures, but I could see him nonetheless able to navigate between the various factions and the ugliness that is DC [this is an advantage that Ross Perot appeared to be lacking]. Not that it is probable Trump would do this if elected, just that it is possible. Of course, its far more likely he would be persona non grata and get absolutely nothing done. Also, any bad news that various government agencies or private interests have been holding back all this time would be laid at his feet.
I am not a build-a-wall-with-Mexico-type, I just want somebody to mind the store.

The Obama presidency brought permanent disillusionment of government to the Millenials.
A failed Trump presidency will bring disillusionment to the Boomers.
The Boomers are the last stick in the bundle.
