I have wondered as time goes on. What if Barrack Obama did anything of what Donald J. Trump has done before and after becoming President? Because, even I remember the Brown Suit Controversy and the Mayo on the Burger issue. Combined with the committee’s of Benghazi hearings, that was pounded on again and again, to make the acts criminal. However, similar has not been seen during the Trump Presidency. Yes there been public and as vicious as the ones against Obama.
What if Obama paid-off someone with an Attorney, changed the stories in the public eye dozens of times. First claimed he didn’t know about it, didn’t know about the Non-Disclosure Agreement and payment through a LLC. What if the pay-off was to a fling, where the President was cheating on someone who was working in porn. We all know how much flack Obama got for having his pastor, just imagine him cheating on Michelle and the kids. Wouldn’t the Republican’s in Congress, Fox News and everyone else goes of the rails? Wouldn’t the Christian Conservative cry-foul and havoc for the diminishing role of family values. But supporting a serial-cheater, former Miss Universe owner and womanizer, that gets a go? Good, to know the hypocrisy.
What if Obama had bombed without listening to his generals? Wouldn’t there be a substantial investigations, wouldn’t there countless hearings in Congress and also looking into his cabinet? While Trump can order randomly with old-intelligence in the Sahel Region and Niger, where own soldiers dies without any consequence. Also orders bombings in Yemen, where innocent dies without any public issues. Where the Congress doesn’t even flinch. This shows the White Privilege, because if Obama did the same he wouldn’t be able to pull it off.
What if Obama tried to hire is family as advisers and vital roles inside the White House? Wouldn’t media go into a frenzy if Obama hired parts of his extended family? They wouldn’t leave it be, but that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner got their roles has been okay. That the Trump Organization is still run by the family and close associates. That the visiting logs, the documentations has been altered again and again, the lack of security clearances, while working has been okay too. Nobody is questioning the authority of the couple. But what if Obama had hired his uncle, even some of his far relatives from Kenya? Wouldn’t Fox and InfoWars be all up in it?
What if Obama had meetings with foreign adversaries and having campaign managers and involved persons with known questionable background. What would the media have done? Wouldn’t this created a constitutional crisis and direct impeachment? Even if the adversaries are paid agents of foreign states, also parts of the campaign team being on the pay-roll of foreign nations. Also, know for campaigning and lobbying for questionable regimes all around world. Where even the FBI and the authorities have been monitoring them and even wire-tapping to be sure of their moves. Wouldn’t the whole world crash down with the knowledge that so many people of the campaign would be involved in possible conspiring against the republic for one person? Still, Obama didn’t do that, but Trump has enough questionable connects, meetings, pay-offs and indictments in his team, that the reality will catch up with him, sooner, than later.
What if Obama appointed Cabinet Members who wasn’t skilled in the field, was bought directly from the donors, even working with the businesses they we’re supposed to monitor. What if Obama appointed Cabinet Members that was misusing the public offices, spending fortunes on the state dime and also not appointing underlings in the needed offices so that the government could do their duties. What if Obama sent Michelle or anyone other relative as Official Diplomat, even she had no experience of doing so, to have dialogue and even make sure of the government policies abroad. What if Obama hadn’t made sure the Secretary of State had enough diplomat’s and enough staff to gather intelligence. If did only half, there would be an outcry, about how he doesn’t care about the USA place in the world and making sure USA is safe. But Trump doesn’t have to serve the Department of State, the Department of State only have to serve Trump, even on a half-engine and lack of gasoline.
What if Obama without any of own media or any of his staff would be alone with foreign adversaries in the oval office, talk about national secrets and intelligence, share it with them without the public knowing or even discuss it with the National Security Advisor, CIA Director or the DHS. Wouldn’t that be an act of treason? However, Trump did that with Russians in the Oval Office and people tend to forget that.
I am sure I could go on, but it would just so sad, so tragic. The What If scenarios are insane already. No doubt. This is just showing how different the world is, and because of one man’s victory… how things change, but now we know that the lack of moral and integrity is starting from the top. It isn’t a local, but it is an executive thing. Trump has gotten away with a lot, but has hope for the Mueller Investigation, even in the midst of trouble. He always gathers strength, however, that cannot last forever. There are many unanswered questions remaining, but in the end. The reality will hit the fan and we all will know. Peace.
