Without Obama, there’d be no trump1.

Trump didn't run against Obama. Obama would have mopped the floor with Trump if he had been allowed to be the Democratic candidate instead of Hillary Clinton. Hillary lost only because she is a poor campaigner who ignored the swing states and appealed too heavily to feminist ideology.

You misunderstand my point. The political leanings of the country as a whole are like a pendulum. The pendulum was swung when Obama was elected. This made all of the fragile racists afraid and so they wanted a strong man to replace Obama. Enter Trump: the perfect shit heel to fill the bill.

Pendulum swung back to the right; Trump was elected.
