President Trump won the 2016 election because of a small number of voters in Michigan – Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — voters who in many cases had also cast ballots for Barack Obama.
But how can a person vote for two such fundamentally different candidates just a few years apart?
(ed:..if it walks like a pay-off – talks like a pay-off – it is a pay-off – the facts of the matter are that obama did nothing to those crooks/banksters who caused the financial collapse of 2008 – in fact he appointed them to key positions in his administration – and as with the clintons now is his time for his pay-off from those banksters..
this is what is now happening..)
Reports indicate that the deal has not been finalized but the president is already being criticized for it.
The former leader of the free world is suddenly facing intense criticism.
Barack Obama has accepted a $400,000 speaking fee for a Wall Street conference that will be hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald LP – according to a report by Fox Business.
This is almost twice as much as the speaking fees Hillary Clinton charged for three speeches to Goldman Sachs after she left the State Department.
She later came under immense criticism during her campaign for receiving so much money to speak to Wall Street firms.
According to the Washington Post her husband and former president Bill Clinton ‘earned more than $16.3 million for 72 speeches’ in 2012 — averaging around $226,000 per speech.
CNN also reported he was once paid $750,000 for a speech to telecom firm Ericsson.
Hillary Clinton had to eat humble pie twice on election night.
Democratic US Presidential nominee Clinton apologised to President Barack Obama for her bruising loss – right after calling Republican President-elect Donald Trump to offer him ‘congratulations’ according to a new book chronicling her 2016 presidential bid called Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.
‘Mr. President – I’m sorry’ she said – according to a Washington Post review of the book due out today.
The White House urged Clinton to concede as Trump claimed battleground states – some by slim margins – because Obama wanted to avoid a messy recount – according to news.com.au.
‘You need to concede’ Obama told Clinton directly – later repeating the instruction to her campaign chairman John Podesta for good measure.
The directive came after Clinton ignored previous messages from White House staff to throw in the towel.
Around 7:45 on election night when Clinton and her aides still thought they were headed to the White House- vote-counter Steve Schale told campaign officials they were going to lose the biggest battleground in the country – the Washington Post reported.
‘You’re going to come up short’ Schale said.
In that moment Bill Clinton reportedly became furious.
Hillary was stoic.
Their cocksure aides started to blame one another.
The largest oil company in the world understands more about climate change than the president of the United States.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders slammed President Donald Trump on Wednesday after energy giant ExxonMobil asked the White House to not yank the U.S. from participation in the landmark Paris Agreement.
The historic international climate deal has been a top target of Trump – who appears hell-bent on dismantling his predecessor’s legacy.
When former President Barack Obama signed the 2015 deal forged between nearly 200 countries he had suggested that the Paris agreement may one day be seen as the moment the world decided to save the planet.
Under the Paris accord the U.S. agreed to reduce its carbon emissions 26 percent to 28 percent below the levels emitted in 2005.
But on Tuesday Trump signed an executive order asking his Environmental Protection Agency chief to take action toward unraveling Obama’s Clean Power Plan – which aims to lower emissions of greenhouse gases that warm the planet.
According to Bloomberg Trump’s order lays out ‘a broad blueprint for the Trump administration to dismantle the architecture that former President Barack Obama built to combat the phenomenon’.
As Trump’s White House seeks to unravel Obama’s greenhouse gas commitments – a most unlikely ally of the largest climate change compact has emerged to lobby the new president.
California Congressman took to Twitter on Saturday morning to warn President Donald Trump that — if he is correct that his Trump Tower phones were tapped — he is ‘in deep sh*t’.
Early Saturday morning Trump set the political world ablaze by accusing former President Barack Obama of having his phones tapped prior to the 2016 election.
