@Lili Víla I'm also a person from another country watching the USA for the last 4 years and I have never seen a better President in my lifetime. Nobody intelligent I know considers him a clown and no the rest of the world doesn't think poorly of him. From the US becoming one of the biggest bully nations under Obama starting reckless wars it has become one of the most non-interfering countries under Trump and has become a country that has focused on it's own economy and jobs first. Yes Trump has had excellent foreign policy like finally getting North korea to chill the f down and getting rid of ISIS, also the peace deals with Israel and other middle eastern countries is phenomenal and let's not forget China that has been harassing everyone these last 10 years and allowed Covid to spread worldwide by silencing Chinese doctors that spoke about it. Even the wall street journal admitted that the rich poor gap that widened tremendously under Obama actually shrank under the Trump administration. I understand that your views about him come from the same 'orange man bad' narrative that a lot of people blindly fall for and it's not your fault. However you should judge a person by what they accomplish and not merely by how they speak. Because a person that makes false promises that they can't keep is nothing but a liar too.

Former President Barack Obama’s book tour rolls on. The media continues to fawn over their favorite president, eating up all his self-serving statements meant to make him appear as a unifying force in American politics. Anyone old enough to remember his presidency knows that he was anything but a unifying leader.Obama might not have been bombastic, but he certainly was an egomaniac, and he continues to be to this day. One would think Barack Obama of all people would appreciate the opportunities this country has provided him. He was the first black president and easily won re-election.But Obama doesn’t acknowledge the progress Americans have made on race relations since the Civil Rights Movement. He goes even further by stating that America is still a racist country to this day. That’s right-in Obama’s mind, this is still a terrible place for minorities to live, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Hopefully. Same tactics used, same patterns of behaviors, identical cycle of abuse followed.. as seen in cult leaders & abusive relationships. Without full & emotionally developed fundamental traits required to even be a SAFE, responsible, compassionate, integral, moral & productive member of society w/ insight? In addition, to be without understanding of critical thinking skills & cognitive reasoning abilities (can't see around corners to consequences of actions/choices/words) emotionally disconnected/detached (even refers to self in 3rd person & twists EVERYTHING around to being about either himself, gain in some way, shifting blame, deflecting, OR stroking his own ego (falsely, of course) taking credit for something) No understanding of empathy, compassion, remorse, self-reflection, accountability & zero respect for boundaries, rules, social norms OR others??? Should never be in position of power & holding control of so many human lives, in their grip, imho! Manipulation is quite the powerful tool, am worried if someone a LOT smoother & more of a con that he is (which was super obvious) ... even less of a conscience.. how we all will be impacted; esp seeing just how many, actually believed AND supported/defended this guy. Even putting their own lives & those of their families at risk JUST to go meet, support & rally for?? THAT, is not normal behavior, sorry. Imho, couldn't be more textbook OR... toxic, dangerous & as we've already seen... deadly. His latest stunt, he believes he is entitled to win & should have, therefore.... in his mind, it is SO. That simple. He'll claim it until his last day, that it's fraud, since he lost of course.. Concede, admit, have difficult conversations, nope.. wll never happen. Literally, doesn't have it in him. Instead, imho.. more than likely will just walk away, POOF one day gone. Claiming "had better things to do ..& more lucrative offers anyway" Leaving as if WE.. weren't worthy of HIM. pshhhh, smh right?! He's holding onto the fraud thing & going through all the courts, cuz it's what he always does. Self gain? OH YAH.... in the meantime & until he can't any more... is soliciting donations via email/text from ALL his supporters. That fine print is quite interesting. That's why he's keeping it up & not just letting it go, walking away now.... wants to hoover every cent. Using them, no matter how much they've given him. Immediately after he's gone & has all their $$$$.... they too, will be quickly DISCARDED... as if they never existed. Unless, of course... he wants something more from them at some point. Attention, praise, control/power, feeding his fragile ego, making deals behind the scene & self gain.... it's ALL he is interested in. Nothing & no one else matters to him, period. Everyone is just an object, to be used... in his stuck child mind. He'll never "get it", never change & never do better. BUT, knowing the red flags.. might help someone we know, recognize & safely find their way OUT of a relationship w/ someone like him... well BEFORE the impact is too great. =( #LiveAbusefree ~Stay safe & be well.

[@nilsp9426]

For me what stuck from Obama's presidency is the honesty, humility, and professionality that Obama brought to the job. It is not any particular decision, it is the character example he has been. His leadership, his support for others, his empathy, his ability to approach complex problems diplomatically and smartly. His style of inviting politically active citizens of all trades to participate in his enterprise, rather than stamping personal authority on the things he did. He dealt with many issues, but he did not "deal with" people (with the noteworthy exception of Osama bin Laden). He respected them and heared them, and in most cases did what he could to support them. He "served" as a president. All this gets amplified 1000 times seeing the exact opposite as his successor.

The part about him running an improvisational candidacy, and Obama doubting the ability to run an improv government was excellent foreshadowing of the past four years.

[@JLS2169]

This was a refreshing and tasteful portrayal of how a POTUS should act and carry himself. Thankfully Pres. Obama gave us plenty of genuine and entertaining interviews and appearances on the late night comedy shows that if we ever need a mental boost, it isn't hard to find a good one. I find myself at an odd point in history, that no one who is alive and old enough to pay attention right now won't look back and reflect on. Right at the midway point between an attack on the US Capitol building in which 4 people died, and seven days away from the inauguration of Joe Biden as President. All while Pres. Trump is facing a possible 2nd impeachment. A lot can and does happen in a four year presidential term. Sadly, I can't image Pres. Trump enjoying a cookout with other former presidents or sharing stories only they can understand or reflect on. I don't miss his 2 a.m. tweets now that he has been kicked off Twitter. Best of luck to our country. The times we are in are unlike any other and I pray we make it thru whole and with no more obscene violence or lies. God bless.
