This battle began in 1991, when Obama bemoaned that socialism would never happen in America because Americans have “a continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility, values that extend far beyond the issue of race in the American mind. The depth of this commitment may be summarily dismissed as the unfounded optimism of the average American — I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don’t make it, my children will.”
20 years later, as president, Obama mocked Trump at a dinner thrown by the trained seals in the White House Correspondents Association.
5 years after that, the Big Oh had a front row seat to Trump’s inauguration. Obama smiled because he planned a passive-aggressive coup.
Obama thought he had him because of the Russian hoax, the resistance, tying Trump’s orders up in court, RINO Paul Ryan and all sorts of other monkey wrenches Obama was tossing into Trump’s presidential machinery.
And yet, Trump succeeded. He got Mexico to stop sending people north. He watered down NAFTA. He dropped corporate tax rates. He slapped tariffs on Red China. He forced NATO allies (frenemies) to increase their military sending. He brought unemployment down to a 50-year low and made an economy so strong that it could shut down and still bounce back.
Democrats had to stuff ballot boxes on Election Night to get enough states to stop his second term.
They then went after Trump tooth and tong, throwing his supporters in prison, raiding his home, suing him for paying back a loan, indicting him, allowing an assassin to take his shot and so on.
Obama’s efforts were for naught. Americans saw the light. They wanted to go back to the way things were. It looks like they will because the opposition has thrown in the towel. Quit. CNN and The View are trimming their sails. Comcast is dumping MSNBC, like a coyote trying to escape a trap. Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw.

Trump finally vanquished Obama
In his victory speech in 2008 — nearly a generation ago — Obama told the masses in Chicago: “It's been a long time coming. But tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
