What Did President Trump Do Now?

Malik Obama’s reasons for supporting Trump remain somewhat unclear and may stem from hard feelings he has toward his half-brother. But whatever the reason, that support was vehement, particularly on Twitter, where he was so adamantly pro-Trump that his account was often accused of being a parody.
Shortly before the election, though, Obama was verified by Twitter. And since that verification, something weird has happened: Malik Obama has gone full chanterculture, ****lord troll, adopting much of the language and similar tactics to those used by the alt-right.
To wit: Obama frequently calls his opponents cucks. Obama discusses the Swahili meaning of “Harambe.” Obama rails against “fake news” like CNN and the Huffington Post. Obama goes back and forth with Bill Mitchell. Obama assures his followers that he has not been “spirit cooked” (Pizzagate for “forced into a Satanic rite”). Obama shares Pepe memes of himself bearing the name “Memelik Obameme.” Etc.

Again, IDIOT.

You are free to present something resembling a counter-argument to me one of these centuries. If not, then drop it or at least admit I had a point. I talked about human behavior in relation to law and you retorted with something along the lines of "well, none of that is important". Just because you disagree with my take on things doesn't mean I'm wrong. If you can't appreciate pragmatism or take it into consideration then you shouldn't be having political arguments with people.

And again, I'll reiterate: as funny as Trump is, I think he is a very, very flawed individual and POTUS elect. But the problems he presents are completely different from Bill Clinton, Obama and Bush respectively, partly because he's not really a politician nor does he seem to really represent either party: he merely co-opted the Republican platform to get into office. Pretending that he's somehow worse than they are when you take ALL information into consideration is an underlying premise flaw I've seen in every Trump-related discussion I've seen here and in other places.

I hereby move to have Chula's avatar removed by a mod. It is hideously annoying and annoyingly hideous to the point that I feel it is harming this forum.

Zero political experience - check.
History of screwing businesses - check.
History of failing ventures - check.
History of scamming the tax system - check.
Acts like a teenage girl when challenged - check.
A poster child for egotism - check.
Takes misogyny to new levels - check.
Unheard of conflicts of interests as POTUS - check.
Alt-right conspiracy theorist as his right hand man - check.

Maybe you are an idiot after-all.

Some of those "checks" being debatable aside, let's turn the board around for a bit: what about all the good Donald Trump has done in the world? All the projects he did through the 80's and 90's where he'd come in under budget, create thousands of jobs, etc? Are you one of those people who just follow HuffPost and CNN and read little else? In the same way Hillary Clinton isn't Satan just because her family's Foundation is kinda dubious and takes money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Donald Trump isn't the anti-christ either.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but guys like you are why Trump got elected in the first place. I'm not asking you to do serious research here: I'm asking you to think critically and look at all the information available out there. I didn't even vote for Trump so I'm unsure why you have this vendetta against what I'm saying.
