Anyone who thinks American manufacturing can quickly take over from Chinese manufacturing should watch this "sobering" documentary (produced by a Mr B H Obama) about what happens when a Chinese company takes over a plant in Ohio.

The Guardian says it was released (in 2019) at “a fraught moment in US politics” when ”The country is on the verge of a full-scale trade war”…

The Guardian · American Factory review – a sobering documentary by the ObamasBy Peter Bradshaw

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

#obama should take point for #democrats .

There’s a lack of leadership in the opposition party because there is a rising schism. The old guard wants to hold on to what it knows, self-righteous and self-inclined, they don’t fight because they believe their virtue is self-evident. Israel is part of it.

The new guard hasn’t found its footing, and it’s being fought by the old guard, within the party.

It means #trump is uncontested.

1/2 #uspol

Economy in pieces, ruined family, savings of a life burnt,
(and that's a litte taste of what is to come)
#trump? is to play golf

I hear: 'Imagine if #Obama or #Biden had behaved like Trump ...'

Americans 😆
still think they live in the #Democratic 'times' of Obama and Biden
in wich the POTUS could be held accountable ...
Today America is under a plutocratic #dictatorship
The 'supreme leader' is 'above' of the once called "We the people"
today to be referred as miserable irrelevant peasant.

#obama could give #trump PR rebuttals for the #democrats .

He’s familiar. He speaks simply, directly, and earnestly (when he needs to). He has cover (he’s no longer a politician), so isn’t exposed politically.

Lastly, if Trump really does decide to run for a third term (provided there are manageable elections), Obama could run against him.

Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors."105K likes, 3,117 comments - meidastouch on April 4, 2025: "Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this.
