Successes and failures: Obama vs Trump

Let’s do a recap here. What were the accomplishments of the Obama/Biden Administration?

The biggest accomplishment that came out of the Obama years would have to be The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare. Was this really an accomplishment, or was it a failure? As far as most working-class Americans, it was a massive failure. Not only did most people lose the plan they already had, along with their family doctor, but it increased the cost of medical insurance by up to 250%. For those that decided they couldn’t afford to pay the exorbitant fees for medical insurance, President Obama made sure they still paid by ‘fining’ them through their taxes. Definitely not affordable to anyone that had to pay for it. For the poor, the non-working, the low-income people it was great! It didn’t cost them a dime or was extremely low cost.

We can’t forget his first 100 days, either. That was his ‘Apology Tour’ where he toured the world apologizing for America’s bullying; like ending WWII by nuking Japan, or freeing Iraq from Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical rule, or fighting for basic human rights in countries around the world.

Probably the most controversial accomplishment that the Obama/Biden Administration achieved was putting boys in the girl’s bathrooms. Yeah! That went over well with the moral majority!!!

As for his epic failures: An ambassador and four Navy Seals killed after begging for hours to get reinforcements in Benghazi. Selling arms to the Mexican Cartels. How about spying on journalists, using the IRS as a weapon against conservatives, and the FBI to spy on the Trump Campaign. Can’t forget Bowe Bergdahl; the AWOL/Traitor that was traded for five top-level Taliban soldiers. How about the Iran nuclear deal and the 15Billion dollars paid to that enemy? The GSA scandal, Pigford scandal, the Great Stimulus heist – all of which extorted money from the taxpayers to pay for who knows what, lavish parties, pay-to-play schemes, and paying off contributors. Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, using a private server for classified emails. And this is just a few of the epic failures of that administration yet the left love both Barry and Joe like they were the Messiah.

Obama had the lowest GDP growth since the Great Depression, capping out at about 1.5%. The highest unemployment, most incarcerations of blacks and minorities, family separations of illegals on the border, and highest welfare rolls. And the left loved him.

Now, let’s take a look at the Trump Administration. What, exactly, did Donald J Trump accomplish during his four years as President of the United States?

Space Force. Massive Tax reform. First Step Act – criminal justice reform. Defeated ISIS and killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He installed THREE Supreme Court Justices and 226 federal judges. Highest employment rates for minorities and women in history. Lowest unemployment rate in 60 years. Income inequality lessened. Secured border. More fair trade deals. North Korea returning MIA/KIA remains. Manufacturing brought back to America. Highest GDP growth in decades. Record high stock markets. Wage increases for lower income earners. More jobs than people to fill them. NATO members starting to pay their share. Four Mid-Eastern Peace Treaties with Israel.

Quite a list of things that helped the American people. That was Trump’s campaign motto: Make America Great Again! He did that by putting America First!

Was Trump always right? Not by a long shot! He tweeted too much. His personality rankled a lot of people and foreign leaders. He trusted the wrong people. He was impeached, twice; both times unconstitutionally and fraudulently. If you want to believe the left, he failed on the economy, race relations, the plandemic, global respect, and being Presidential. All of these are just opinions from the Trump haters, both left and right.

There was a lot of controversy during Trump’s years in the White House. The Democrats persecuted him worse than any other President, including Richard Nixon. If Donald Trump had cured cancer, those with Trump Derangement Syndrome would have berated him for killing a disease. The left fought against him from the time he announced his candidacy. Politico printed an article stating the Impeachment had begun on April 17, 2015, and nineteen minutes after the election, I believe it was CNN said the same thing. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D. MI), yelled immediately after she took her oath of office, “Now we impeach the motherfucker!” Rep. Maxine Waters (D. CA) implored her followers to follow anyone from the Trump administration into restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, or wherever else they might be and harass them by “getting into their faces.”

Was Donald Trump the perfect President? Of course not! He’s human and humans have a lot of faults. Was he as bad as what the Left portray him to be? Not in the least. The Left blame Trump for all the ills of the country including, but not limited to: racism, rioting, white supremacy, corrupt law enforcement, world-wide hunger and poverty, COVID-19, and a plethora of other things that he had absolutely no control over. Yes, there were times that he could have acted more swiftly. Yes, he tweeted too much. Yes, there were times he wasn’t ‘Presidential.’ Yes, he called Kim Jung Un “RocketMan.” Yes, he pissed off a lot of the world’s leaders (only because he quit giving to them and made them face up to their obligations). So, was Trump the perfect President? Nope, but he was the perfect man at the perfect time and did the perfect job.

Who wins the grand prizes here for failures and accomplishment? In my humble, conservative opinion the results are obvious: Trump, hands down for accomplishments and Obama hands down for failures. Trump’s “America First” policies far outweigh his failures and Obama’s pro-Muslim, anti-American policies far outweigh his very few, controversial accomplishments.
