Who is better, Trump or Obama?

One of my teachers back in high school described that sort of choice as picking your cleanest dirty shirt. Ditto with Trump or Clinton. Either way you are no better off.

Really. No difference between the two, huh?
Unreal.
@Ynotisay: To anyone outside the US there has been no difference between any of them since FDR.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow: the personalities have been different at least

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow: "Anyone" is a big word. Perhaps you just haven't been following U.S. politics which makes perfect sense if you're not an American. Well, usually.
The WORLD will feel this administration in ways they NEVER would have felt under Clinton. Right out of the chute this man put women's lives around the world at much greater risk by defunding International Planned Parenthood. So take my word for it. There are most definitely differences.

@Ynotisay: what'd he do? (In reference to the women thing)

@CrossTrainer: I mentioned that. He defunded International Planned Parenthood which provides health services to women around the world. Women will die because of it.

And why? Because a very, very small portion of what they do is related to providing abortions for women in need. The mother fucking Christian freaks who don't give two FUCKS about what happens to children after they're born, decided to vote for a man who also clearly doesn't care. A man who said women in the U.S. should be legally penalized for having an abortion.

And ironically abortions, most illegal and dangerous, are now going to skyrocket.

@Ynotisay: good thing I didn't vote for him but dang! so basically if women want a safe birth at a hospital but can't afford it, there won't be a way to fund them?
@CrossTrainer: The likelihood of that is far less likely because unlike the US nearly every other country do not regard healthcare as a privilege for the wealthy. So by and large this is overblown.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow: Lots of quality healthcare access for women in Kenya? Nepal? Ethiopia? Come on man. The world is a big place. Not everyone has it as good as you.
@Ynotisay: Perhaps some. But the rest of the developed world would never notice is all I am saying. I mean even Rwanda has universal healthcare.
