There are many reasons to celebrate Donald Trump’s victory, but perhaps none greater than this: It marks the end of the Obama era.
We’ve heard a lot about “norms” in recent years. No one broke a bigger “norm” than Obama in 2016. Rather than leaving the nation’s capitol like every other president, he stayed in D.C. and effectively established himself as a shadow president.
He knew Russiagate was a hoax, and yet he quietly encouraged it. And even in the waning days of the last presidential campaign, Obama was peddling the discredited “very fine people” hoax—deliberately lying about what Trump said about the Charlottesville protests.
Barack Obama’s presidency ushered in an era of hard-left politics and racial division that has left our country more bitter and more divided. Trump’s win was a repudiation of him and what he stands for. It’s about time.
