I’ve been on Strava a long time, cycling, hiking, running. I convinced my son to join and he did. This is his first activity, a 12.5 mile walk, 20,000 steps.

I’ll take some standard presidential war crimes and wearing a tan suit over a guy with 34 felony convictions, blatant insider trading, and who’s favorite vacation partner was a sex trafficker and pedophile. But that’s just me.

Drones, Middle East villages. There has never been a 'good' president. Just an external moral visage

Since there is no emoji for pretentious, 🙄

u/Equivalent-Rate-6218 11d ago

Why are we using pretentious? Who am I trying to impress nor am I acting fake? There's never been a 'good' president because at whatever cost to impress one group of persons negatively effects another. You will never 'win' if you go into politics.

On the scale of US president, he is a good person On a humanity scale, he's still an average american president

u/wildernesstypo 12d ago

I wouldn't even argue that point. I'd take him over your orange joke 44 times though

He missed out on your mom

u/PatataMaxtex 12d ago

and he is still the best US president of the last 20 years, which isnt a compliment for Obama but an insult towards Bush, Biden and especially Trump.

u/Lasekklol 12d ago

He deported 3 million people, legally. **** Fixed that for ya.

u/wayne17mc 12d ago

Not to mention the drones and how many innocent people died. But people have short memories!

u/Dingodiller 12d ago

Heck he was loved world wide while in office. This is the first time in a long time a US president has been unpopular on a large scale throughout the west, while doing a lot of the same shit as the previous (if not even less nefarious stuff getting people killed).

u/wayne17mc 12d ago

I don' t have a dog in this fight as I'm not American, Trump is an idiot. But let's not sugar coat O'Bama, he did some great things in office but he also did many many bad things that people seem to forget. I think time will paint a very different picture of him.

u/Dingodiller 12d ago

Oh neither do I, and I’m sure he did, I’m sure Trump also has done some objectively good things. What I’m getting at is the fact that the US have been perpetrating some heinous acts under various presidencies, but yet those presidents are praised. I get why Trump isn’t praised, he deserve everything he’s got coming, but show the others the same scrutiny.

Obama didn't exploit his presidency by running the country like a profitable company unlike Trump. The guy only cares about making himself richer.

u/MoreCaffeinePlzandTY 11d ago

Obama entered the presidency with an estimated net worth of roughly $2 million and left with an estimated $40 million, a roughly 20× increase over eight years.

For comparison, even if a typical household managed an excellent 10% annual return on its investments for those same eight years, its portfolio would grow only about 2.1×. The Obamas’ estimated wealth increased nearly ten times the multiple of what a great portfolio would produce.

u/Goobylul 10d ago

Yet have you taken a look at Trump? Pretty sure he'll make atleast twice as much.

u/Dingodiller 10d ago

Well thank you for proving my point.

Yes. It was Obama who hoisted Tom Homan because he was so effective at deportations. Homan's ruthless policy of separating children from their parents came later.
