Obama warned us as he compared Trump to Hitler
https://www.newsmax.com/ChuckMorse/obama-trump-hitler-chicago/2017/12/11/id/831132/
Speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago, Obama noted that the U.S. has survived tough times before and will again, offering as an example of tough times the days of communist fighter Joseph McCarthy.
“The danger is grow[ing] complacent,” Obama said. “We have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly.”
“That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s,” Obama opined. “Sixty million people died. So, you've got to pay attention. And vote.”
Is it then any wonder that both Obama and Trump were elected back to back?
Originally posted by @whodeyObama didn't compare Trump to Hitler. He merely used Germany as a warning to what can happen if we're complacent. Just because your extreme right-wing article says something in its title, that doesn't mean it's true. In fact, it often means the opposite with far-right news sources.
Obama does.
Are you saying Obama is not a smarty?
This brings up an interesting question: would Trump be more or less dangerous if he was intelligent? If he was more intelligent, he could really accomplish some devious schemes and do real damage. However, because he's such a dimwit, he's liable to literally anything, no matter what the cost to anyone else is.
Originally posted by @vivifyBecause he's so obviously stupid, he finds it difficult to get other politicians (who intend to be in office long after DT is gone) on board with his more harebrained schemes. Thus, his complete lack of any serious legislative achievements beyond the mandatory huge tax cuts for the rich that every Republican President passes in the last 40 years. The Presidency grants large, but not unlimited, powers and the sheer unpopularity of most of what Trump wants as well as Trump himself cuts down on the damage this clown can do. Of course, his level of corruption is virtually unprecedented for a US President, but whether he can continue to get away with it is a serious question.

Um, Hitler and Hitler?
Maybe the two hate each other.

How clever is Obama. His intellect surpasses mine by leaps and bounds.
Originally posted by @no1marauderMake fun of him all you want, but the sad truth is all Trump has to do is not start a stupid war where ISIS fills in the void and improve the economy and he will be the best President in the last 50 years.
