>Three days after mocking Trump as not fit to control the codes needed to launch nuclear weapons, Obama told his successor that he wanted him to succeed and would do everything he could to ensure a smooth transition.
>Trump, who spent years pursuing Obama over false claims he is not a natural-born American and accused him of being the founder of ISIS on the campaign trail, called Obama a "very good man" and said he would seek his counsel in future.
he was being uber-sarcastic and deliberately saying the opposite just to sound polite but I guess some people are too gullible for words
Zachary Sullivan
Trump has already won, lashing out at this point would make it appear like he was whining.
Liam Butler
Of course he's doing that. Trump is also keeping Obamacare. He's just a big city democrat and he fooled you all.
Ryan Evans

Obama said that Putin was a pleasant guy in his book. And i'm sure Obama is a nice dude, and i hate his ideas

Yeah op don't read too much into things he's being what we call in the real world "polite"
Angel Barnes
Obama IS a very good man. He's dead wrong on many issues, but he is doing what he thinks is best. That's probably what he meant by that.
It's also polite. Obama stepped down gracefully, and basically told everyone that they should support/respect Trump as the next president.
Brandon Myers
>big city Democrat
this is why I like Trump, I knew he'd be liberal, I just hated Hilliary
Brayden Miller
Ye, well, that's what happens when people meet face to face instead of communicating through a bunch of riot-inciting media outlets cherrypicking the most offensive quotes

William Green
You guys didn't fall for his pandering shit did you? All the build the wall memes were ironic, right?
He said what he had to say to secure the redneck vote.
He will MAGA as best he can, but he couldn't run as a third party so he ran under a red ticket.
Good to see he is going to stick to his principles and plan versus sticking to that stupid lowest common denominator bullshit
Brayden Murphy
Holy shit, he really was an Obama plant all along
Nathaniel Johnson
>Trump is keeping Obamacare >hurr I only ever read clickbait headlines If you opened literally any article regarding this you would see that Trump only referenced the pre existing conditions and inherited healthcare bits of Obamacare, you spastic.
Michael Foster
>calls things part of Obamacare not part of Obamacare >things getting rid of parts of Obamacare means getting rid of all of it what
Samuel Parker
Damn, you sure showed the tongue-in-cheek OP by taking everything on Sup Forums at face value, misunderstanding the subtleties of discourse here, and revealing you're a buttmad newfag.
Xavier Anderson
Just a portion of it. Why are you doing this? You aren't paid for shilling? Whats your motive?
Nathaniel Garcia
You don't understand 4D chess. He specifically didn't call him "a good president." Calling him "a good man" is a subtle insult. Are there really autists who don't understand things like this?
Zachary Martin
I wonder if there is such a thing as the "Deep state"
I mean why did Obama break almost all his promises when he got into office.
Do you think when you become president some anonymous alphabet agency sits you down and tells you whats really up and whos really in control?
Seems like even Obama became a completely apathetic cuck in his second term.
Jack Taylor
I dont think you appreciate just how fragile our democracy is. Last time we had protests like this after an election, we had a civil war shortly after. I dont think anyone aside from a few of you dumb pol fucks actually wants to keep stirring the pot in this delicate time where power is transferred
Elijah Smith
It's almost as if he's being professional.
Brody Diaz
What did you expect?
Mason Powell
Trump's appeal to most of his supporters was his ability to conduct business and make deals that actually result in getting things done.
Sup Forums shits itself whenever he pivots on an issue, or makes a statement that appears to do so, but it's going to be the nature of his presidency, hopefully, because that's how it's done.
Ever seen pictures of LBJ, probably the greated "deal maker" president leaning over people?
Zachary Stewart
>greatest
David Campbell
>Seems like even Obama became a completely apathetic cuck in his second term. He didn't have the stamina - he was a loser.
Christopher Jones
first american election?
David Cruz
Yea, his goal was always to be middle of the line. He said the republicans and democrats were both doing it wrong.
He was for universal healthcare at the start of his campaign. He only changed his mind when he had to start impressing cuckservatives.
Bentley Flores
He's called everyone he's beaten (outside of Rosie O' Donnel and I think Jeb!) a "real great guy"
Andrew Johnson
>someone running for office says anything to win
WOW WHAT A SURPRISE!
Oliver Nelson
Please help me ubderstand how we keep te folks with preexisting conditions on health insurance without also making sure healthy people participate in the same market? I dont think you folks have any appreciation for that huge problem.
Connor Long
The only thing that's fragile is the narcissistic identities created out of whole cloth that the special snowflakes have. They can't start a civil war in gun-free zones. They think safety pins can be imbued with meaning.
Magical thinking narcissists are irrelevant. Their rage is not a sign of things to come, it is a tacit admission of their irrelevancy.
Carter Gonzalez
nah ah, its Bush's fault. Dont you neva eva forget dat.
Jaxon Cox
Understand politics Sergi. Its a kill or be killed world.
Landon Davis
A good man, but a fucking awful president
Camden Barnes
He's a liberal. He swayed his voters to get in office.
Caleb Morgan
Yea, Trump will probably soon learn that he cant just pick and choose stuff from obamacare. I wonder what he will do then
James Gomez
you're trolling and gullible
Caleb Nelson
Obama:
>manipulator
Noah Wood
You negotiate health care reform with representatives of the people instead of insurance lobbyists like Obama.
Jace Taylor
Pffffff. More shills now than before the election.
Nathaniel Martinez
He'll keep it, obviously.
Carson Clark
>narcissists Funny how trump supporters can call liberals this (which is certainly true in some instances) but fail to see the Donald for being a classic an example of one And dont forget...you pol fucks were calling for civil war literally just a few days ago should your candidate not win. Here we are with a couple million more votes for hillary and she lost...if that had happened in reverse, you know as well as I do that there would be quite a bit of blood on the streets
Jayden Barnes
Nationalized health CARE (not insurance) is the first step. In an attempt to stop people from wasting money on medical care, we stupidly inflate the cost of care to make sure really sure three specialists sure ten MRIs sure that you really absolutely definitely need a foot brace.
The second step is to unlink government support with medical diagnosis. If you want to know why autism diagnosis has risen you don't need to dig into Monsanto's toxins in the food supply or ponder what the right way to eat vegetables is, just notice that autism rates went up because employment went down and people gotta pay the bills. If people with X get benefits that they can't otherwise get (food money, health care from an employer they don't have) then a surprising amount of people will have X.
We already pay people to do nothing but use twitter and maybe be a barista. But do we have to use complicated medical care systems, ridiculous prison systems, and subsidized college education to get there?
Logan Jones
>Keeping Obamacare >Keeping the few things Obamacare actually did right = Keeping all of Obamacare
He already said he's trashing most of it, and he wants to make sure his replacement takes effect immediately after.
Adam Taylor
Youre still not telling me how you get around that problem without a requirement/penalty for opting out of health insurance
Elijah Martin
>Trump being polite OMG
He just wants to make sure the Electors don't go faithless and fuck him over.
Which they theoretically might do if they thought he was the next Hitler.
Dylan Foster
>this degree of backpedalling are you guys this stupid?
He's not going to do it. Not with McConnell and Ryan cucking him the entire way.
Elijah Hernandez
>And dont forget...you pol fucks were calling for civil war literally just a few days ago should your candidate not win. You must be new here. These threads did not exist. The most revolutionary thought that captured people was innawoods.
>Donald Trump is a narcissist There is really no sense in which this is true unless you are willing to redefine "narcissism" as "celebrity," in which case the problem isn't Trump it is you.
Zachary Rodriguez
you keep the guarantee issue law
Oliver Morgan
>He's not going to do it. Not with McConnell and Ryan cucking him the entire way. I believe you are correct. Trump will be seen as the end of the GOP, but the causality arrow will be pointing the other direction.
Isaiah Wright
Good luck getting anything taken from the public to private sector with this red congress. You have some interesting ideas but what makes you think trump has these ideas too?
William Gray
>He's just a big city democrat I've been saying that he would be detrimental to "small government" right wing policies and would ultimately move the Republicans Center and the Democrats pushed out Left moving the country as a whole Left.
If he can't convince Congress that what he's doing is good for the country, he's not going to get shit done.
20 million people suddenly without healthcare? Congress is going to resist on that. He needs to assure them that provisions similar to ones currently in Obamacare exist to keep these people covered, or the Republicucks may not pass the required bill.
The man is not only smarter than people give him credit for, but also has more tact.
Give him a chance.

Is this thread a joke? You do realise you have to behave in a certain manner and show respect. Hes not a troll looking to just cause mischief
Some of you are so dettached from reality
Justin Kelly
I don't know what Trump thinks, I just know that a way forward is theoretically possible. It is unlikely that Republicans will play along with Trump's progressive side and the GOP will go down in flames. The brand is nearly dead when the media can call you a racist just for being Republican and/or white. This causes a pressure to keep doing what has been done to "prove" you aren't "swayed" by this nonsense.
I think Trump can fix a lot of things, but the GOP brand is so tainted in popular discourse right now. It won't take a miracle, it will just take Trump to be the man he appeared to be during the election. The last question is just: is he that man?
Dunno.
Liam Wilson
>trump is not a narcassist You really should go read the diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder. It matches trump perfectly
And i saw at least a dozen revolution threads on mobday, stfu
James Roberts
No you're not. US expats in CZ are overwhelmingly Democratic. It's highly unlikely that an American expat would be posting on Sup Forums.
Hunter Sanders
>implying the president is the strongest power in the US Do you even US politics? He was never meant to have the as much power as he has in the first place.
David Sanders
Are you upset he didn't kick the door in and call him a nigger? What did you expect? Just because he's president now doesn't mean he needs to be a cunt to everyone. He has a lot of work ahead of him, what kind of message would that send?
Daniel James
The band is nearly dead? The brand is ashes. The GOP opposes the God Emperor at their peril.
Josiah Perry
Are you retarded? Trump's whole campaign was built on exposing how corrupt people like Obama have made America and undoing their damage, he has zero reason to be sucking up to them when he's about to erase Obama's entire shitty legacy.
Zachary Adams
Donald makes deals, the biggest deals, the best deals.
It's was always here, you just needed to read it to understand what's happening.
Jacob Kelly

Fuck off lefty. You can plug this thread all day, i'm sure you'll figue out its the cunts sitting next to you that are agreeing with you lol.
Alexander Cox
You are just missing the whole point friend. Go research this topic, then come back and comment Bout it
John Phillips
because he didn't believe that like any other sane person would.
It just made it easier for him to win over the dixie states since a lot of people there legit think that vaccines for polio and tuberculosis cause autism and aren't worth taking
Samuel Collins
creating jobs and allowing healthcare to be used by lots of people who previously couldn't afford it is bad?
Christopher Green
The DSM is written by drunks looking for their lost keys under the streetlamp. And anyway most of the ways Trump appears narcissistic is just propaganda. I do not think you could plausibly support even three criteria, nevermind five, without requiring deliberate obfuscation or ignoring contrary evidence.
Example would be Trump's "temperament." Trump gets blasted by Obama at a dinner and he takes it. Then he campaigns for President and attacks Obama. (He's running for President, right? Clinton wants to ride Obama's coattails, right?) Then Trump is elected and he's extremely cordial and polite to Obama.
You can only expect examples of Trump's temperament to take hold if you willfully ignore contrary evidence.

Didn't he also say Obama was the worst president in American history?
Lincoln Morris
This. We never address eachother as "you guys," we generally never use a formal separate address because it serves no good purpose and contradicts the idea of anonymity (which is not mere namelessness but letting ideas stand alone), but CTR shills almost always use it.
Wyatt Diaz
Didn't your President Cuckdeau say he was going to punch Donnie in the face?
Joseph Powell
TRUMP DOES THIS CLASSIC POWER MOVE WHERE HE PULLS PEOPLE CLOSER TO HIM WHEN HE SHAKES THEIR HAND
ITS LIKE STRONG HANDSHAKE TIMES 10, WHOS THE ALPHA, BITCH!
HE EVEN DID IT TO PENCE DURING HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, YANKED HIS ASS FORWARD SO HARD THE GUY ALMOST FELL OVER LMAO
Jaxson Sanchez
Of cource he wants trump to succed you stupid fuck. If uou dont want the oppositions president to be successful when they win your an idiot who cares more about whos in power than the state of the country. If obama was elected and fixed everything wouldnt thay be better than him fucking ip just cause you dont like him?
