Obama attempted to unite white & black, Trump attempts to gaslight us into thinking white is black.

Didn't read it yet, but the title of the link seems accurate enough to agree.

TRUMP: “To be honest I inherited a mess. It’s a mess. At home and abroad, a mess.”
THE FACTS: A mess is in the eye of the beholder. But by almost every economic measure, Obama inherited a far worse situation when he became president in 2009 than he left for Trump. He had to deal with the worst downturn since the Depression.
Unemployment was spiking, the stock market crashing, the auto industry failing and millions of Americans risked losing their homes to foreclosure when Obama took the oath of office. None of those statistics is as dire for Trump.
Unemployment is 4.8 percent, compared with a peak of 10 percent during Obama’s first year as president. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was cratering until March 2009, only to rebound roughly 200 percent over the rest of Obama’s term, and those gains have continued under Trump on the promise of tax and regulatory cuts.
When Trump assumed office last month, a greater percentage of the country had health insurance, incomes were rising and the country was adding jobs. same link

TRUMP, bragging again about his Electoral College vote total: “We got 306 because people came out and voted like they’ve never seen before, so that’s the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.”
THE FACTS: Not even close. In the seven previous elections, the winner of five of those contests won a larger Electoral College majority than Trump. They were George H.W. Bush in 1988, Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996; and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
When a reporter pointed out that Trump was overstating his winning margin, the president said: “Well, I don’t know, I was given that information.” He then called it “a very substantial victory.”
Trump actually ended up with 304 electoral votes because of the defection of two electors in December, but he had won enough states in November to get to 306.

I cannot disagree more. His actions appeared to inspire division between the races. Under his watch racial tensions were as high as they had been since segregation.

And Trump's strategy for 'unification' is to scare people into thinking it's too much of a risk to go against him. Either fall in line or the country collapses... I'm sorry but that's not a call for unity that's an ultimatum for support.

White privilege?????

I mean the exact same thing could be said about the civil rights era. "If blacks were not out protesting then the cops would not have to use batons, water canons, & dogs"!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if Obama caused you ANY discomfort.

No he didn't cause me discomfort but instead of uniting us he basically cheered on people rioting. Right or wrong that is not unifying people. That is furthering the divide

Chose sides on the Treyvon case. He weighed in on the case before the facts were even out.
