George Takei: "Dear Trump defenders anxious to claim that Obama..."

George Takei
@GeorgeTakei

Dear Trump defenders anxious to claim that Obama also went golfing, during hurricane Katrina: Obama wasn’t president during Katrina. That was Bush.

Also, 9/11 didn’t happen under Obama.

Also, you are disappointingly ignorant.

And there are plenty of Americans that are gullible enough to believe the lies.

He offers incisive, no-BS commentary almost daily on Twitter. We're lucky to have him, and he's still acting on this season of The Terror on AMC. -- Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!

...unfortunately it is not like they will actually read anything negative about their boy, or understand it should they do so.

Most of them are evil. They will do anything to win. Lie, cheat, steal, it's all the same to them. They do not care about life - they care about winning.

No matter how much you try to reason with stupid people or explain facts, history, or logic to them, it never seems to cure the stupidity.

The ones that now sort of regret voting for Trump are reachable, but the hardcore Trumpers, truth bounces off their brains like a ball thrown hard into a steel wall, wasting time with them is that, wasted time.

in perpetuating wrongs on others. Obama deserves none of the garbage crap that rump and others are trying to dump on him. Obama was a classic and outstanding president, and I'm constantly reminded of this fact on a daily basis after I see our so called president rump go on his 300th trip for golf/insult the 300th person/rip off the 300th charity/steal his 300th wallet off the golf course/etc.

Although Bush was president during 9/11, OBAMA was the one that got Saddam Hussein.

I actually think that Iraq would not have Isis if Hussein still was dictator there.
