The terrorist threat under Obama was less than under Trump.

In a matter of just a couple weeks, the fear level has shot up dramatically. The Trump White House is shitting its pants. They are coming to get you. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Under Obama, we were either very lucky or he did an exceptionally good, kick-ass job? Which is it?

We have to accept that Obama kept us safe without the fear and hand-wringing of Trump, or Trump is in way over his head? His failed raid into Yemen did not kill the al Qaeda leader he was after. That may have shaken up the fearful Leader?

Whether or not the terrorist threat is worse now than 3 weeks ago, the fear and paranoia is much worse under Trump than Obama. I hope the judges take this into consideration before they make their decision? What has changed so much in three weeks?

But don't be too quick to congratulate Obama. He was president while the bodies were piling up in Bowling Green.
