Trump Still Using Obama as a Foil


July 6, 2019 at 9:06 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“It took all of one minute and nine seconds for President Trump to go after his predecessor on Friday — just one minute and nine seconds to re-engage in a debate that has consumed much of his own time in office over who was the better president,” the New York Times reports.

“It was former President Barack Obama who started the policy of separating children from their parents at the border, Mr. Trump claimed falsely, and it was Mr. Obama who had such a terrible relationship with North Korea that he was about to go to war. Mr. Obama had it easy on the economy, Mr. Trump added, but let America’s allies walk all over him.”

“The litany of criticisms, often distorted, are familiar, but Mr. Trump has turned increasingly to Mr. Obama in recent days as a political foil.”

Hahahaha! Good one stable genius. I would hate to see what hard would be then when we’re talking inheriting losing 100s of thousands of jobs a month.
