Trump Log #49: The Fuck Obama Doctrine

Whether you like Barack Obama as president or not, you at least have to admit, he was consistent. He was so consistent that many people referred to his style of governing as the Obama Doctrine. In contrast, Trump's style is inconsistent and chaotic. While Obama's was a slow country drive, Trump's is a roller coaster. Unpredictable indeed, which has its merits. The only consistency seems that is he is slowly dismantling Obama's accomplishments, regardless of how successful they are. This is what we can call the Fuck Obama Doctrine.

The longer he is president, the more I see some sort of consistency. He seems to believe an unstable world is good for America. Not just our enemies, but of friends as well. To put it into an analogy, imagine if you have one very rich power "friend" that liked to throw your life into chaos because it benefited him a little. Would you be that person's friend for long?  That is Trump's America. America First equals America alone.

Tuesday 6/19/18 - The Trump administration is withdrawing from the United Nations' Human Rights Council, isolating us just a little bit more. (Source: Washington Post)

Wednesday 6/20/18 - Trump is pulling prosecutors from other, more important issues, for them to work on misdemeanors on the border. (Source: PBS News Hour)

Thursday 6/21/18 - New rules for the ACA, implemented by Trump, may be good for small businesses, but they will certainly be awful for their employees who will be losing coverage for mental health care, emergency services, maternity and newborn care, and prescription drugs. (Source: Washington Post)

Friday 6/22/18 - Trump wants to move SNAP program (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that feeds up to 42 million poor Americans) from the Agriculture Department to the Department of Health and Human Services. He then wants to changed the name of the latter to include the word "Welfare" so that it will be easier to cut. (Source: New York Times)

Saturday 6/23/18 - In another obvious example that this President thinks he is above the law, four of the tax returns that Trump signed for the Donald J. Trump Foundation, are being used in a perjury case against him. In 2007, 2012, 2013 and 2014, his "charitable" foundation used funds to benefit Donald J. Trump. (Source: Washington Post)

Sunday 6/24/18 - What did I just say about Trump not respecting the rule of law? He wants to prosecute immigrants without due process.  (Source: Washington Post)
