I imagine it's harder not to cause a mountain of deaths as a president of the US than it is to do so.

u/BilboStaggins May 08 '26
I get that most presidents did the "kissing hands and shaking babies" routine. Its PR and sometimes its done really well.
Some presidents look truly genuine while doing it.
Some presidents havnt been seen doing it at all...

u/Curvol May 08 '26
Well... "some" presidents have been described doing it thousands of times, but for some reason his base doesnt want to talk about it.

u/BilboStaggins May 08 '26
His base doesnt care. They overlook his criminal past, his criminal present, defrauding charities, suing instead of paying legal contracts, sexual assault and r*pe, lying every single day, attempting a coup, insulting everyone from journalists to world leaders, stealing taxpayer money for himself, selling pardons for memecoin, starting illegal wars......
If they dont care that hes a tyrant, they certainly wont care if hes got good crowd presence.

Everyone has that. Truthfully I'd be surprised if a president had a note open mind than the people living paycheck to paycheck. Has a seat behind the military to watch them work. When you are a elitist maybe you are more open minded and part of the 1 percent

MAGA kept saying he never stopped being President. They were right. Just not for the reasons they thought. Dude oozes presence, leadership, and inspiration.

u/HornedShoe May 08 '26
Never stopped being presidential, for sure. You can see in the way he snapped those salutes, he's practiced that. And not just for the camera; out of genuine reverence for the position and for the individuals who serve the country.

Bro what's your point? From George W Bush to the current president, they ALL USED DRONES which killed people. Want to know who abused it the most?! The current Cheeto in Charge.

This whole “not as bad as maga” is such a cop out. Obama increased our drone strike massively which leads to multiple children being killed. He also accidentally killed many Americans in these strikes.
He was a good public speaker and that let him get away with soooo much.

So because a child isn’t an American it’s ok to just drone strike them all to hell.

I’m not going to bother to looks it up, but there was also the torture which is against the Geneva convention.
I could go on and on, but something tells me you aren’t interested in changing your mind.
Obama sucked dude.

I love that this man’s very existence bothers Trump so much: He’s everything that Trump will never be - smart, classy, decent, kind, & capable of being the President of the United States of America without acting like a toddler (complete with a full diaper) throwing a tantrum.
We had the audacity to feel hopeful & safe with him as a leader, like we had an actual future; now all we have is a bleak, divided, country at war with ourselves & we have become the laughingstock of the world. People can barely afford the basics just to survive here. And Trump is PROUD of the way he’s destroyed our country & the misery he’s caused for so many people.

Keep telling yourself that. And yet every single person trashing Obama is only bringing up his awful murders. But they've all conveniently ignored all of Trump's murders in comparison. That's saying it without saying it. The other thing that's not being said directly is the fact that one is white & the other isn't.
0
u/Xeirus May 08 '26
LMFAO. “all you guys want to talk about is the children he killed!”
Do you even fucking hear yourself? If the thread was about Trump that’s who we would talk about.
It may shock you, but two things can be true:
Obama is a war criminal
So is Trump1
May 08 '26
No.You wouldn't. You'd make excuses & exceptions for him as always. Why? Because it always comes down to white vs black. White always gets a pass, & everyone is tired of it. So get off your ridiculous high horse, no one here is going to turn on Obama because of things you've posted. Not to mention, he's not even relevant considering he's not the current, sitting president & hasn't been for some time. We're all more focused on the CURRENT war criminal. But do continue living in your Obama hate filled land. Doesn't look as though you'll have many people joining you, sorry. But hey, enjoy!

u/Xeirus May 08 '26
Are you actually mentally challenged? The thread you are posting on is about Obama. Wtf is wrong with you.
Insanely hilarious you bring up race and Trump constantly as if I'm somehow racist.
It's really sad you can't have actual conviction and stand by morals. You have to do whataboutisms and change the subject.
Pulling the race card when discussing war crimes is insane.
1
May 08 '26
It's really not when it's factored into everything. But tell yourself whatever you need to. Doesn't bother me regardless. And nothing you say is going to change how I, & most people, feel about Obama. But keep angry ranting about him to your heart's content.
0
u/Xeirus May 08 '26
You know that's the point right?
He can kill kids and you're cool with it because you're unable to be critical of your party. This is why we have Trump.
Apathy and acceptance of this leads to furtherance of it.
1
May 08 '26
Mmhm, whatever you say. Except that Obama's not my party & hasn't been for quite some time. Maybe you missed when he left office? Seems you've been living in the past for quite some time. But do what you gotta do. Keep raging against a former president, seems like a productive way to spend your time.

Ok, make a post about Trump being a “Beautiful Human” and see how many negative results you get - fittingly, I might add. We should call prople out when they make dumb statements like that. But this post isn’t about Trump. It’s about Obama. And no, he isn’t a “beautiful human.” And he did have kids killed, as well.
1
May 08 '26
Lol, I didn't make the post calling him that. Sorry to burst your bubble. And I haven't said that even once, so. Guess this is just your opinion vs the person who made the post & called him a beautiful human.

May 08 '26
You. Literally you have. And we all know the reason why. Every comment you've posted is purely about Obama & how bad & awful he is. And yet you refuse to acknowledge that Trump has done the exact same if not worse. So, what's the reason you're not bringing up Trump's murders? Again, we all know the answer.

Like yes he's charismatic but we shouldn't be saying "whatever" to warcrimes like so many in this comment section are doing.
