Obama made the list while Trump and Clinton would not have made that list. Trump also made the list of the few people in DC who would have reneged on the nuclear deal. So yea, he may have been good on one of the lists but in totality his name shows up in many of the bad lists.

    He is a neocon, zionist, Isreali firster, warmonger, anti second amendment and he has no business as the POTUS.

    But still not sure if "Man" is GOP-Adelson/MAGA alpha wing, "dump" is Hon. Bolton and "doorstep" is US foreign policy.

    If so, this analogy goes bit too far.

    I think Obama was slightly better than Trump, he was slightly better than him on the economy, second amendment, trade, resisting the deep state's war efforts, staying away from twitter. Trump is slightly better on tax cuts, brown nosing the Israeli govt, he has a hotter wife, probably higher levels of testosterone etc etc

    But I know you'll dismiss my answer because Obama is no longer an option

    LOL

    Not only is he not an option but he was not the least bit better, he was MUCH worse.

    Every single thing you said is wrong except the part about Israel but he did their bidding more while giving them less lip service and the part about Twitter but that is a good thing about Trump.

    Yeah.

    Trump is taking it to the MSM. The MSM is getting beat the $#@! up.
    And that has always been rule #1.

    BTW, Obama had 1 gun ban, and Trump has also had one. Trump rescinded Obama's gun ban. So I score it 1 - 0 Trump on 2A.
    Trump was more hawkish than Obama regarding Libya. Trump wanted US troops on the ground while Obama refused this push by Trump. As for Syria, Trump has bombed both Syrian and Russian forces on the ground, funded the Al Qaeda linked white helmets and now starting a save zone with Turkey in the North. Despite the fork tongues rhetoric, his actions have been more hawkish than Obama.

    What was Obama's gun ban? Regardless, Trump has one executive order gun ban in only 2 yrs and he about to enact more of em before he is done. So far, he has been worse than Obama.

    I care more about actions, not how people perform with the media. The neocon western media seems to hate Trump but his actions are usually in line with what they support. People rejoice that he fired Pompeo but his acting replacement is just as bad as he is and he still has Elliot Abrams and deep state Pompeo in his cabinet. The deep state media hates the man but loves his policies and appointees.

    But yes, Obama had a very warm and loving relationship with the western (worldwide) media.

    President Trump on Thursday said he does not plan to make Secretary of State Mike Pompeo his national security adviser.
    The president told reporters as he left to attend a GOP House retreat in Baltimore that he spoke with Pompeo earlier in the day, and that the secretary of State "liked the idea of somebody [else] in there.”


    Trump said Thursday he has 15 candidates under consideration to replace Bolton. A day earlier he said there were five.
    "A lot of people want the job. It’s a great job," he said. "It’s great because it’s a lot of fun to work with Donald Trump. And it’s very easy actually to work me. You know why it’s easy? Because I make all the decisions."

    Trump's new NSA pick is a strong supporter of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land and opponent of Obama Iran deal


    In 2015 and 2016, O’Brien expressed strong opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, at one point comparing it to the 1938 Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany. He also wrote an article encouraging Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, to criticize Trump over his wish to improve relations with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. His views are typical to the Republican establishment foreign policy world view.

    In 2017, he published an article about how Israel was being discriminated against in the United Nations. The article attacked the Obama administration for not vetoing a U.N. Security Council resolution against Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. He said that the resolution “has done nothing to advance the peace process”.

    From JNS article above

    O’Brien served under President George W. Bush as a U.S. alternate delegate to the United Nations in 2005, in which he emphasized America’s commitment towards solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Bolton was then the U.S. ambassador to the world body.
    A bold move removing Bolton, for sure. The boldest moves by the best people.

    With technology, troops on the ground doesn't necessarily equate to more war. Obamas drone program showed us that. Arming the Saudis or one side is an act of aggression imo.
