Obama asks for friendship and neighbourliness. You respond with "POS", "scumbag" and an insult about a building. Excellent demonstration of the problem. Unfortunately, you’ve demonstrated it on yourself. Since you want to discuss who divides Americans, let’s bring some receipts. Your dogs-and-Muslims post. In February 2026, you wrote: "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." Apparently millions of Americans’ religion makes them suitable material for that comparison. nbcnews.com/politics/congres… Your response to reports of starving Palestinians: "Release the hostages. Until then, starve away." That was your contribution to a discussion involving civilian deaths, including children. truthout.org/articles/republ… Your "#MuslimProblem" rhetoric. You described an entire culture as "fundamentally broken and dangerous". Even Trump ally Richard Grenell pushed back and reminded you about religious freedom. newsweek.com/trump-ally-rebu… Your treatment of Mamdani. You called an American citizen "little more than a Muslim terrorist" and demanded that his citizenship be stripped and that he be deported. The source here is Fox News. Enjoy explaining away your own words. foxnews.com/politics/republi… Now let’s examine the political movement whose leader endorsed you. Birtherism. Trump spent years promoting suspicion about Obama’s birthplace and legitimacy. Obama was born in Hawaii. His birth certificate was publicly available. Manufacturing a foreign-president conspiracy was a choice made by the people spreading it. obamawhitehouse.archives.gov… The 2015 campaign launch. Trump associated people arriving from Mexico with drugs, crime and rape, adding that some were presumably good people. A remarkably welcoming introduction to national politics. time.com/3923128/donald-trum… The proposed religious exclusion. Trump explicitly called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States". This is his campaign’s own published statement. presidency.ucsb.edu/document… The "go back" attacks. Trump targeted four American congresswomen of colour with demands that they return to other countries. Three were born in the United States. All four were American citizens. cbsnews.com/news/trump-tweet… Political opponents as "vermin". Trump promised to root out domestic political enemies using explicitly dehumanising language. Apparently national unity required identifying Americans as pests. abcnews.go.com/Politics/trum… Immigrants "poisoning the blood". Another contribution from your party’s leader to the atmosphere of friendship you apparently miss so desperately. reuters.com/world/us/trump-r… The Springfield pet-eating hoax. Trump, Vance and other Republicans amplified accusations against Haitian immigrants despite local officials reporting no credible evidence. Musk and the House Judiciary Republicans helped circulate the story too. cbsnews.com/news/baseless-cl… The stolen-election campaign. Trump continued telling Americans that their election had been stolen despite repeated failures to substantiate the allegations. Destroying confidence in an election because you lost is a fairly substantial contribution to division. The Georgia pressure campaign. Trump asked Georgia’s secretary of state to find 11,780 votes — enough to reverse his defeat there. The fake-elector scheme. His allies organised purported electoral votes in states Biden had won. Those were concrete efforts to overturn the result, extensively documented in the congressional investigation. The record for those three items: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-… Clemency for January 6 offenders. Trump subsequently pardoned people convicted of assaulting police during the Capitol attack. An interesting interpretation of both national reconciliation and supporting law enforcement. apnews.com/article/capitol-r… And your claim about how Obama will be remembered? YouGov’s current popularity figures show 64% positive opinion for Obama and 38% for Trump. That’s a 26-point gap. Your museum review appears to be struggling against the audience data. today.yougov.com/topics/poli… today.yougov.com/topics/poli… Obama didn’t write your posts, Randy. He didn’t make Trump promote birtherism, Vance spread the pet-eating hoax or you type "starve away". You all made those choices yourselves. Your post would make an excellent exhibit in a museum of political division.

Top Trump Aide Steve Witkoff, to Vladimir Putin: "You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute you, and I commend you."

🚨🚨🚨 I want you to realize how good the stagecraft of Butler was. I know several of the photographers who were there a couple of them Pulitzer winners, before and after. They shot what they saw, including one of them, capturing a bullet in thin air because he was using such high shutter speed. But these people who created this kabuki are filmmakers they’re television producers they know how to fool the eye with special effects. I’ve been producer my whole life. I know what it takes and the more you watch it the more you know it has to be fake. I mean Trump is such a coward, watch him flinch when the plane flew over recently. I was covering a Trump rally a few weeks before also in Pennsylvania and exactly the same physical situation. It was a farm in the middle of nowhere with one building one story high and when you look at the two locations, they look the same. This was in Schnecksville. Identical layout to Butler. I believe that was a rehearsal just like I believe that the first two stop the steal rallies were the rehearsal for January 6
