Trump's Guiding Principle Is Undoing Obama's Agenda

June 1, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

First Read: “President Trump is expected to announce at 3:00 pm ET that he is withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement (although perhaps with some exceptions — so maybe it’s not a full pullout)… And with that decision to withdraw, it’s hard not to conclude that the guiding philosophy of Trump’s first four months in office has been to rollback Barack Obama’s agenda — or do what Obama refused to do.”

“Yes, Trump campaigned on many of these positions (although the military action in Syria contradicted what he had said in the past on the issue). And yes, all new presidents who hail from a different political party typically break — in one way or another — from their predecessors. But what’s different about Trump’s breaks with Obama is that he really hasn’t outlined a better way forward… These anti-Obama actions have been mostly symbolic. But what’s been missing is a clear alternative — other than just going back to where things were before 2009.”

...this miserable excuse for a human being, I have absolutely no doubt that his humiliation at the hands of President Obama at the correspondents' dinner was at the core of Trumplethinskin's decision to run, and still motivates every choice he makes. He is trying to wipe President Obama from the pages of history, just to satisfy his own need for revenge. Disgraceful.

He is vile.
