Trump vs Obama : The ultimate comparison - Anonymous Informer

Trump vs Obama

'United States of America' the strongest economy in the world, when it comes to run the strongest economy in the world it needs the strongest leader for it.

Today we'll compare a current president and ex-president of the united states.

Yes, let's compare Donald John Trump with Barack Hussein Obama II

Background of both leaders

Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., was born of Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province, Kenya.

Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was born on an Army base in Wichita, Kansas, during World War II.

His father left soon after his birth.

He lived with his grandparents where he enrolled for Punahou Academy in the U.S.A.

He excelled in basketball and graduated with academic honors in 1979. As one of only three Black students at the school, he became conscious of racism and what it meant to be African American.

Obama entered Occidental College in Los Angeles in 1979. After two years, he transferred to Columbia University in New York City. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, he worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, where he was the first black person to be president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, he became a civil rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Turning to elective politics, he represented the 13th district from 1997 until 2004 in the Illinois Senate, when he ran for the U.S. Senate. Obama received national attention in 2004 with his March Senate primary win, his well-received July Democratic National Convention keynote address, and his landslide November election to the Senate. In 2008, he was nominated for president a year after his presidential campaign began, and after close primary campaigns against Hillary Clinton, Obama was elected over Republican John McCain and was inaugurated alongside Joe Biden on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, he was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. In the 1950s, Trump's wealth increased with the postwar real estate boom. His father, Fred Trump was born in the Bronx borough of New York City in 1905. His mother, Mary Anne Trump was born in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, she emigrated to the United States in 1930. At age 13, Trump’s parents sent him to the New York Military Academy. He did well at the academy, both socially and academically, rising to become a star athlete and student leader by the time he graduated in 1964. He received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan. The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He bought the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants in 1996 and sold it in 2015. He produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television series, from 2003 to 2015.

Trump's political positions have been described as populist, protectionist, and nationalist. He entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and was elected in a surprise victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Presidential actions were taken by both leaders in their presidency

Barack Obama issued 276 executive orders during his two-term presidency. 

Whereas Donald Trump issued 171 executive orders until today (Jul 15, 2020) 

Here is a list of Ex-President Barack Obama's top 15 biggest accomplishments as President of the United States.

1. Rescued the country from the Great Recession, cutting the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.7% over six years. 

2. Signed the Affordable Care Act which provided health insurance to over 20 million uninsured Americans. 

3. Ended the war in Iraq. 

4. Ordered for the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden.

5. Passed the $787 billion America Recovery and Reinvestment Act to spur economic growth during the Great Recession.

6. Supported the LGBT community's fight for marriage equality. 

7. Commuted the sentences of nearly 1200 drug offenders to reverse “unjust and outdated prison sentences". 

8. Helped put the U.S. on track for energy independence by 2020. 

9. Began the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan.

10. Signed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allowing as many as 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally to avoid deportation and receive work permits. 

11. Dropped the veteran homeless rate by 50 percent.

12. Reversed Bush-era torture policies.

13. Signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, making it a federal crime to assault anyone based on sexual or gender identification.

14. Helped negotiate the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal.

15. He signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to combat pay discrimination against women.

Here is a list of President Donald trump's top 15 biggest accomplishments as President of the United States.

 

1. He issued the passage of the Republicans' tax-cut bill, which slashes the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. 

2. Trump signed an executive order cutting regulations for small businesses and moved forward with plans to repeal the Clean Power Plan.

3. He has secured the release of 19 people, including 16 Americans, from foreign captivity without releasing terrorist leaders or sending planeloads of cash to rogue regimes. 

4. He delivered for the "forgotten Americans." The Trump boom is benefiting those left behind by the Obama economy. Manufacturing jobs grew at the fastest rate in 23 years. The Wall Street Journal reports that wages rose 3.1 percent -- the biggest jump since 2009. 

5. He worked with Democrats and Republicans to pass important legislation. It didn't get a lot of attention, but Trump got a lot done on a bipartisan basis, including criminal justice reform, opioid, and sex trafficking legislation, and a new "Right to Try" law giving dying Americans access to experimental medications.

6. He has ushered in a golden age for women in the CIA. Trump not only appointed Gina Haspel as the agency's first female director but also made Elizabeth Kimber the first woman to lead the agency's clandestine service -- rewarding the CIA's "band of sisters" who have toiled to keep the country safe since 9/11.

7. His push to expand domestic energy production bore fruit. This year the United States passed both Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's top oil producer.

8. After the Singapore summit with North Korea, he has made no concessions to Pyongyang. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un expected to blow up some useless nuclear facilities in exchange for billions in hard currency. Trump has refused to play Kim's game. he imposed new sanctions on members of Kim's inner circle.

9. He struck Syria again and eliminated the last vestiges of the Islamic State's physical caliphate. For a second time, he enforced Obama's red line against the use of chemical weapons. In December, U.S.-backed fighters captured Hajin, the last pocket of territory held by the Islamic State. The militant group is far from defeated, but Trump is right that we have knocked "the hell out of ISIS."

10. He's continued his tough line with Moscow. Trump announced America's withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, shipped Javelin antitank missiles to Ukraine, canceled a meeting with Putin at the Group of 20 summits over Russia's seizure of Ukrainian navy ships, expelled dozens of Russian diplomats and imposed more sanctions against Moscow.

11. He pulled out of Obama's disastrous Iran deal and reimposed crippling sanctions on Tehran. The new sanctions have taken millions of barrels of Iranian oil off the market and led to the cancellation of major deals with European investors. And when Iranian protesters rose up to challenge the regime, Trump (unlike his predecessor) stood with them. 

12. He extended the wage-growth winning streak to 16 straight months above a 3% pace, a mark seen only three months.

13. Trump in 2019 secured his 50th federal appeals court judge in only three years, compared to just 55 for President Obama over eight years. Over the long term, remaking the federal judiciary into an originalist. 

 14. In the Trump presidency, America became a net natural gas exporter for the first time since the Eisenhower administration. In 2019, this trend expanded in earnest, with an astonishing 60% growth rate of liquefied natural gas exports for the year.

15. He established Space Force – the sixth military service branch in 2019 was pure Trump: imaginative, bold, forward-looking, and – predictably – roundly derided by establishment critics. 

Economy changes after president change 

Let's look at the Trump economy vs. the Obama economy in 15 points. 

1. Job gains

 The U.S. economy typically added more than 250,000 jobs each month in 2014 and 227,000 a month in 2015. Trump has not been able to top that yet, but experts say job growth remains surprisingly robust, especially given how many baby boomers are retiring and how many business owners complain they can’t find any more workers.

2. Unemployment rate

 The nation’s unemployment rate is at a half-century low, a source of pride for Trump. But many economists have pointed out that the rate has been falling steadily since 2011, making it difficult to see much difference after Trump took office.

3. Growth. After a painful 2009, the economy has been growing for a decade. In the early years of the recovery, growth was lackluster, but it started to pick up in 2014 and 2015. Trump told America he could do even better as president, but his record so far looks similar to Obama’s final few years in office. While his tax cut and deregulatory push boosted growth in 2018, that appears to be fading as business owners grow concerned about the trade war.

4. Middle-class income

 Most Americans saw a noticeable decline in their income during the Great Recession, and it took years for wages to recover. In 2017, a typical middle-class family finally saw their income climb above where it was in 1999. (Data for 2018 will be released in September.) Incomes have been rising steadily in recent years as more Americans get jobs.

5. Stock market

 The Dow Jones industrial average was up 46 percent at this point in Obama’s presidency vs. 25 percent for Trump. Stocks soared under Obama, and he ended his White House tenure with one of the best gains of any president in modern history. Trump started out with a lot of love from Wall Street as well, especially with his tax cut, but stocks have moved sideways since he began his trade war.

6. Food stamps

 About 1 out of 7 Americans received food stamps (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) in 2013 in the aftermath of the Great Recession, as people struggled to find good-paying jobs again. The numbers came down slightly under Obama, and the decline has accelerated under Trump as more Americans have obtained jobs and the requirements to remain on food stamps have tightened.

7. Manufacturing

 Trump campaigned heavily on reviving blue-collar industries and jobs. While service-sector jobs in health care, technology, and hospitality rebounded quickly after the Great Recession, manufacturing did not. Trump’s tax cuts helped boost manufacturing in 2018 (blue-collar job growth hit the fastest pace since the early 1980s), but the president’s tariffs have since taken a toll, sending manufacturing into a “technical recession” in 2019.

8. Home prices

 The housing market was at the heart of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and many Americans lost their homes or watched the value of their homes plummet. Home prices bounced back at the end of Obama’s term and have continued a steady climb under Trump.

9. Gas prices

 Americans keep a close eye on gas prices and tend to get nervous when it climbs above $3 a gallon nationally, but for much of Obama’s second term and Trump’s first term, gas prices have remained under that key threshold.

10. Federal debt

 The national debt swelled under Obama as the federal government spent money trying to rebuild the economy after the Great Recession. At the end of Obama’s term, the annual deficit had declined considerably, but it has since jumped up again under Trump because of his tax cut and increased government spending.

11. Wages

 For much of Obama’s time in office, wages remained subdued, and his economic team cited lackluster wager gains as the “unfinished business” of his presidency. Under Trump, average hourly pay has climbed and is now growing more than 3 percent a year for the first time in more than a decade. There’s debate about how much credit Trump deserves for this, but his tax cuts and the jump in business optimism probably played a role. The concern is rising, however, that wage growth is stalling in 2019.

12. Consumer confidence

 Confidence in the economy has jumped since Trump’s election. This is an area where there has been a clear break from Obama, although experts debate how much of a difference it has made. Normally when confidence rises, businesses and consumers spend more, but that hasn’t been the case, especially for businesses. Still, high confidence is probably playing a role in keeping the United States out of a recession, even as other parts of the world falter.

13. Trade deficit

 The United States has purchased more from overseas than it has sold abroad for years, a situation known as a trade deficit. The trade deficit declined during the Great Recession but has since expanded, which is typically a sign that the U.S. economy is growing robustly. Trump campaigned on bringing the trade deficit down, but it has grown during his tenure.

14. Uninsured Americans

 One of Obama’s key policy goals was to get more Americans health insurance. The number of people without health insurance fell noticeably during his tenure after the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Progress has since stalled under Trump, who attempted (unsuccessfully) to repeal Obamacare.

15. Business investment

Trump and his advisers said the goal of the GOP tax cuts was to encourage businesses to spend and invest more in new equipment and factories, which would then help boost the economy in years to come. While there was a slight bounce in business spending in early 2018, it has since plunged (even turning negative in the spring of 2019), largely because of the trade war.

Which one is better? 

Well, both leaders made good decisions in their presidential period, but people like Barack Obama more than Donald trump because, he did more good deeds than trump, he respects people, and a better leader than Donald Trump, he knows how to run the country perfectly. Whereas Donald Trump has none of these qualities. 

Here are some examples:

1. When he suggested that a woman was too unattractive for him to sexually assault.

2. When he talked about groping women without their consent.

3. When he said soldiers weren't heroes if they were captured.

4. When he said both sides were to blame after a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd.

5. When he suggested that most Mexican immigrants are bad people.

6. When he asked the mother of a fallen American soldier of Muslim faith if she was allowed to speak.

7. When he suggested that it was OK to treat their wives poorly.

8. When he said he had proof that Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S.

9. When he said a U.S. federal judge of Mexican descent was biased against him.

10. When he bragged about the size of his penis during a Republican presidential debate.

11. When he defended Vladimir Putin and said the U.S. is just as bad.

12. When he told supporters at his rally to "knock the crap out of protesters."

13. When he said he would perhaps date his daughter if they weren't related.

14. When he said of a female political opponent, "look at that face."

15. When he blamed Kate Middleton after topless photos were published.

16. When Trump made fun of Michael J. Fox's medical condition by shaking and waving his hands. Has he no shame? 

CONCLUSION 

• Definitely, Barack Obama was a way better president than Donald Trump.
• He knew what he was doing, he always took good decisions whereas many times Donald trump took bad decisions.
• As we can see in the economy comparison above Economy of the U.S.A in Barack Obama's presidency was stronger than Donald trump's Economy. 
• And also decisions taken by Barack Obama were bolder & better than Donald Trump's decisions.
