Capt Dwayne Conyers a good steady diet of haters, sabotagers and those MORE concerned about destroying Trump than the United States of America.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - I thoroughly disagree. The last administration held claim to that. We saw the rise of ISIS, increased domestic terrorism, increased race based attacks, N Korea developed their nuclear missiles well beyond what they were under Clinton or Bush, Iran received billions more allowing them to further support terrorism in their region, increase in people on government support, tepid economy, companies fleeing the USA to build in other countries, highest debt in USA history, etc

MSG (Join to see) - I'm not going to defend the record of the last President but in the name of intellectual honesty Obamas economic performance was quite a bit better than I expected especially from a Democrat. He did inherit an economy in freefall, knee deep in recession with talk of another depression and managed to end with net gains almost across the board including notably private sector job creation: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES [login to see]

I have heard that said before about Obama's economy. If you compare it to a family though, it doesn't make sense. In a family, if your spending is exceeding your income, you are in trouble. You are either forced to cut back on expenses, or increase your income. If you pull out a credit card and double your debt while continuing the same spending, it isn't considered economically sound.
As you said, he did inherit an economy in freefall that was caused by Republicans and Democrats (Clinton, Community Reinvestment Act). The private sector jobs at the end of Obama's term was still lower than they were in 2007 when things began to unravel.
That isn't to say that Obama didn't do some good things. My point is, Trump is doing much better than people give him credit for. He is not a racist or a lunatic like some want to paint him. He is a business man and knows that sometimes, you have to talk loud, make threats, walk away from some deals, and renegotiate others. He is not politically correct and he doesn't act based on faulty polls. He has the power of the USA's economy behind him that gives him leverage

Well, that's scary. If he was experiencing early onset Alzheimer's, he'd have an excuse. Now we know that he truly is a spoiled man-child.

SFC Sczymanski James L. Because we have much more experience and/or knowledge of misogyny throughout human history, I can understand that men (and some women, quite frankly) can have trouble identifying misandry. This isn't it. I'm speaking of the individual, not attributing his personality flaws to his gender.

PO1 John Johnson Just because you don't recognize it, that doesn't mean it's not true.
