I think Obama has been a reasonably successful president. Trump has not yet offered much indication that he has what it takes to do the job.
It's folly not to see that it's the rich and powerful that runs the show. The higher you go the deeper the corruption.

"Sure, things could be improved, but things are not that terrible. Unemployment is under 6%. The economy is growing slowly, but growing. Inflation is low. Interest rates are low. Energy is cheap. Healthcare is crazy expensive (unless the government is paying for yours) but is at least accessible to almost everyone. Illegal immigration rates are down. Crime is generally down across the board from one or two decades ago. It's really not that bad out there, folks."
