There is a Trump resistance movement building among Obama loyalists, and President Obama himself will be joining the organized push back against Trump after Inauguration Day.
Politico reported on the efforts by Obama staff to build a Trump resistance. What was most interesting was the support they are getting from the current president:
The president is committed to staying in touch with this group with some regularity in the months and years ahead, Obamas former campaign manager David Plouffe told OFA members on the call. In fact, Plouffe added, after the disastrous election results, Well have to do it a little more frequently.
.
For some, its been hard to tolerate Obamas measured tone about Trump, when they see so much at stake. He has acknowledged that hes biting his tongue to help facilitate a smooth transition, but has promised to rejoin the fight after Inauguration Day.
Ive got all kinds of thoughts and ideas about it, but this isnt the best time to share them, Obama said. Point is, Im still fired up and Im still ready to go.

Are we fired up? Are we ready to resist?

(3,450 posts)Obama did not speak out strongly when the rethugs were personally attacking him and his initiatives (See Obama Hollow Legacy). Now we are supposed to believe that he is going to actively fight against Drumpf? Goo luck with that!
