If anyone here is suggesting that I have blindly lined up behind Trump, you haven’t read many of my posts. I have frequently pointed out his faults and mistakes. I am also objective enough to acknowledge that he is not a “stupid” or “crazy” man. If you think Obama was “smarter” than Trump, how are you measuring smart? Just a few examples...
Which president shut down a task force targeting Hezbollah’s narcotics ring and flew pallets of cash (nearly 2 billion) to the Mullahs to protect a “deal” with Iran that will only facilitate their development of nuclear weapons in the long run?
Was it “smart” to unilaterally withdraw European missle installations as part of a Russian “reset”?
Was Obamacare a “smart” decision?
Was it “smart” to dither for years as ISIS seizes territory and expanded its caliphate?
Was it “smart” to conclude that our economy really couldn’t do any better than it did under Obama’s regime of heavy taxation and regulation?
Was it “smart” to unwind due process for those accused of sexual assault on college campuses?
Was it “smart” to enter into a series of agreements committing to severely reduce CO2 emissions (and associated economic productivity) while not requiring the same commitments from our partners?
Now, Obama might very well do better than Trump on Jeopardy. I think I would probably do better than Trump (or Obama) on Jeopardy. But I didn’t elect a president to be trivia champ. Or because he was “a constitutional law professor” (Obama was nothing of the sort, btw). I elected a dude to get results. And Trump is getting results, at least to an extent.
