If Obama had not allowed mass foreclosures of Americans to please the banskters and the insurance company giveaway called the ACA, Trump never wouldโ€™ve had a chance of being elected.

In a very real way, Trump is an offspring of Obamaโ€™s negligence and sliminess.

Google randomly switched my language to Spanish again. Love it.
