In Final Address To U.S. Troops, Obama Sends Warning Shot To Trump (Plus Warns Average Citizens)

"So let my final words to you, as your Commander-in-Chief, be a reminder of what it is that you are fighting for, what it is that we are fighting for. The United States of America is not a country that imposes religious tests as a price for freedom. We’re a country that was founded so that people could practice their faiths as they choose. The United States of America is not a place where some citizens have to withstand greater scrutiny, or carry a special I.D. Card, or prove that they are not an enemy from within. We are a country that has bled and struggled and sacrificed against that kind of discrimination and arbitrary rule, here in our own country and around the world.

We’re a nation that believes freedom can never be taken for granted, and that each of us has a responsibility to sustain it. The universal right to speak your mind and to protest against authority. To live in a society that’s open and free. That can criticize our president without retribution. A country where you’re judged by the content of your character, rather than what you look like, or how you worship, or what your last name is, or where your family came from. That’s what separates us from tyrants and terrorists."
President Barack Obama

All good and positives strives achieved by this great man, this great President Barack Obama, will be not just destroyed and overturned, but Trump will go on a hate campaign of the rest of the world.

Well, not Russia, he has intention of making them our closest ally soon.

Whatever the hell we're supposed to be fighting is at least 2.5 Hitlers, judging by the duration.

Donald Trump says thanks for the blank check.
