I'm not sure if this is hilarious or depressing. You are scared of two individuals who hold no political position (one of whom had a scandal free presidency) while we now have arguably the most corrupt administration in a century. Makes sense.
context bro. Obama weaponized the IRS against conservatives, and played teach to the news as well. You read your news and like it, because they reported no scandals. But the fact is Obama is corrupt, and interested in fundamentally transforming America into his ideal bringing us into the fascist world governance future, a future where management is what matters.
Trump has had a bad press and political opponents with access to his campaign, his business associates, even his internal administration, largely ineffectively harassing him every step of the way.
Everything is arguable, bro. Especially where the news is polarized and partisan. Hillary and Obama were scary, maybe. I wasn't scared at all. A lot of people decided not to vote Democrat last election because they just didn't like the way this country is going. I have usually voted third Party, but I voted for Trump because Hillary is corrupt, more corrupt I should say.
and oh, it's not true that Hillary or Obama has no power. They are both hanging on to whatever lines of influence they still have, and it is not trivial, really. They are true revolutionaries, both of them. Ideological zealots as well as political agents of real power and real money. It is probably true that they do quite a lot to oppose Trump from their particular little corners of influence.
It could be argued that Trump has less power because of the loyalties of many officials in government positions who are unwilling to let Trump have his way. Funny.
Used to be we had three branches of guvmint who were supposed to police themselves. Now we have a fourth, the career officials that actually rule regardless of who we vote for.
But back to the 1500 or however many people you are concerned about. They are in the hands of those officials. What are you worried about? It was the same deal when Obama was Pres, and woulda been the same under Hillary. And if we had no guvmint, they would still be in the hands of cartel human traffickers so long as we have this idea, very unrealistic idea, that the USA can be a place with no border.
I think the answer is to support government reforms around the world. Human rights protected, government officials elected, and people actually free to take care of themselves. Socialism failed. Let's do better.
