And 10 months later, America is once again a Shining City On A Hill

LOL
Would have loved to have seen a debate between Obama and Trump.

"Nuclear triad? Healthcare is complicated? Ok ok so I don't know anything about any of this stuff, but YOU weren't born here! So there! Loser!"

:1orglaugh

Perhaps Obama could have just named off all 57 states and KO’d him. Trump would have fared quite well against Mr. Smoke and Mirrors. He held his own against the “ most qualified candidate in history”. Which is what makes all of you libs and your hand wringing so humorous. Trump, warts and all is still better than that lying gasbag in a pantsuit that you all are mourning over.

There isn't a chance you're naive or ignorant enough to actually believe Obama really thought there were 57 states, so I won't bother addressing that other than to say that bringing it up doesn't serve your purposes.
Trump, while having a lot of experience in a limited area of expertise, is genuinely ignorant across a broad spectrum of topics.

The funny thing is this fantasy y'all entertain that we libtards ADORED Clinton, and mourn deeply for her, when in fact she was highly unpopular, so much so that she had her hands full even beating a rank outsider in Sanders. We supported her because she was the only realistic choice we were given (fuck the DNC for that). She'll never run again and we're more than fine with that. Her time, such as it was, has come and gone. Her diminishment into a lesser entity is entirely appropriate. Or in other words, not a soul I know is ****** for Hillary.

I have viewed the video of Obama saying “57 states” many times and I tried to look for that wink or gleam that says he was joking. Nothing indicates that. That is one hell of a poker face.Speaking of poker, “ don’t call my bluff” :1orglaugh

Nothing exudes ignorance more than a commander in chief that refers to Navy corpsman as “corpsemen”

President Trump is dealing with this North Korea crisis due to the last 3 administrations screw ups. Ditto Iran and Carter.

fucking idiots.

Then what should these previous administrations have done ?
The truth is the North Korea crisis is mostly due to China's support
But Trump is a moron who thinks Kim-Jong Un will stop his missiles tests if he bullies him enough. It doesn't work that way, bullying Kim-Jong Un only makes him more eager to fight back, to provoke the US. The problem is there's only 120 miles between Pyongyang (capital city of North Korea) and Seoul (capital city of South Korea) and the 10.000.000 people living there (25.000.000 if you ad the people living in the immediate surroundings).
If the war happens, it's it is very unlikely that missiles will hit the US but it's very likely Seoul will be hit hard, probably even hit by nukes. Hiroshima x100, bare minimum. Potentialy Hiroshima x300

It wasn't Kim-Jong Un who was in power during most of the last 3 administrations. Un actually purged all the generals and diplomats who were friendly/familiar with the Chinese under his ******'s rule. So you now have an even more isolated regime which China has even less influence over. It's over.

Hindsight 20/20 but yeah, the prior Administrations could've done way more to halt North Korea's nuclear weapons program before it literally got off the ground or underground. From making it clear and putting the screws on China up to a total embargo including a naval one and targeted military strikes declaring N. Korea a "no nuke testing zone."

Putting the screw on China, yeah sure. You sure it wouldn't have any repercussions on the numerous US companies who have factories in China ?
Targeted military strikes, yeah, sure, this would have cleared things up. Except if China had choosed to defend its ally. Or if North Korea would have choose to retaliates and his Southern neighbour (even non-nuclear missile strikjes would have devastating effects ans Seoul)

So you're saying you actually do think he thought there were 57 states? LOL If that's the case I guess I'll have to amend the disclaimer I credited to you above.

I'll see your corpsemen (a rare and genuinely embarrassing faux pas) and raise you about three dozen similar, including "Two Corninthians" (from the guy who claims he reads the Bible more than anybody else on the planet LOL)

Not that easy. Obama was proclaimed the most intelligent person to ever hold the office. The bar is much higher for him. Much like ****** values Republicans rightfully are held to a higher standard when they fuck up. It is up to Obama to prove he was joking. He generally clarified any statement that he felt was misinterpreted. I certainly tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and waited until the middle of his first term to criticize him. I see liberals aren’t as generous.

So I guess the bar should be extremlely high for Trump, sincesome of your fellow conservatives like to post **** like this :

 

[sean miguel]

That graph is incorrect. President Trump's IQ is higher than that. He's playing 4D interdimensional chess while his opponents are drooling over shiny baubels.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Yeah, President Trump is role playing, not letting his superior intellect intimidate lawmakers, so he tones it down into language that Lindsey Graham and Bob Corker can understand.

Even today Barack Obama is more popular than Donald Trump on Twitter.
