Not Very Professional




Looking back at the elections, the up to date events on how things have played with Donald Trump and Barack Obama, one has to admit, it has been quite ridiculous. Ridiculous in the fact that in a room full of supposed grown adults and Trump, they are acting just as childish as him.

In the last election America had, it was a wild ride to say the least, scandal after scandal, and definitely a very surprising ending. However, through it all, Trump was a constant factor. He was himself, brutally honest, rude, and brash. While no saint or hero, at least he was constant. Which to a certain extent, while not the best if you have those qualities, at least it was constant.

On the other hand, it was strange that Clinton and Obama were condemning his actions yet acting like him. For the very people who claimed to be adults in a room with a blonde child, it seemed suddenly they were sinking to his level. They were condemning him yet they started following his strategies and trading insults.

It just seems wrong their behavior when they claimed to be so much more mature. However, when in reality they were just acting like him. It’s one thing to be rude and arrogant, and then there is hypocrisy being your campaign slogan.

In the aftermath of the election, Obama made some comments that the next government would be unstable unlike his government. For someone who is supposed to professional and a grown “adult”, making snide remarks about the next government, just seems lacking in good taste. Especially so when America is what America is right now.

However, even if America wasn’t undergoing civil unrest due to the election results, or if it wasn’t between the time of handing over power peacefully, such comments were not called for. Especially so, when Obama was very judging when he believed that Trump wouldn’t hand over the power peacefully if the elections didn’t work out for Trump.

You can say whatever you like about Trump, and it would be Trump. However, when it comes to his opponents, it is a bit disappointing that they, who are supposed to be “mature” adults, are acting, unprofessional, destabilizing, and stupid.

Obama or Clinton, take your pick, but the government in power hasn’t been strictly as honest with themselves or the public. Trump may be a child and be what he is, but if they start acting like him, and they believe him so horrible, just how horrible are they that they act like him when they say he is horrible. One can only criticize the hypocrisy of them claiming Trump being childish when they haven't been any better.

If this is their behavior, it presents two things to oneself. Either that, Trump will be just like them since they are acting like him, or that maybe things will just be fine. Either way, maybe it’s for the best we have a change of government. Furthermore, whether you like Trump or hate, it is really time that we made America great again, because love trumps hate, right?
