On many occasions I have seen Trump motivated to compete and beat Barack Obama. For Trump it is like TV ratings. He was always comparing himself with others. I have decided it is time to make a comparison to see who really wins. (Trump in blue.)
Obama: Won the electoral college and popular vote. Trump: Only won the electoral college and by a small margin. He lost the popular vote by almost 3-million.
Obama: awarded a Nobel Prize and Profile in Courage Award. Trump Nothing
Obama: Doctor of Law degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Harvard, President of Harvard Law Review. Trump only a BS. In economics, Wharton School
Obama: Large inauguration crowd. Trump much smaller. (This was supported by photographic evidence.)
Obama: supported Climate Change efforts. Trump ignored
Obama: good relations with our traditional allies. Trump attacked allies
Obama: recognized N. Korea as danger. Trump was beaten by Kim in negotiations
Obama: small and ordinary turn-over in staff. Trump large turnover.
Obama: stock market continuously rose over 8 years in office. Trump merely continued the trend.
Obama: good family man, no female accusations. Trump: 23 accusations
Obama: staff respected him. Trump was called names like “moron.”
Obama: Never went bankrupt, never seriously investigated, never lost a fraud case. Trump: all of the above
Obama: Long history of service to country and support of non-rich. Trump has long history of lawsuits and corruption, like Trump University. Favors the rich.
Obama: a few understandable mistakes. Trump: thousands of lies.
Obama: always considered to be of sound mind. Trump childish, narcissistic, forgetful
Obama: provided his Tax returns. Trump did not.
Obama: punished or ignored tyrants like Kim of N. Korea. Trump said he loves Kim and that he admires several tyrants. He likes the way they control the people.
Obama: no serious discussions of impeachment. Trump: many dedicated to impeachment movement.
Obama wins. I could add many more comparisons, but they would be less clear-cut. I am sure if a Republican made a similar list it would lean the other way, but that’s politics.
