For example someone like Obama...?

Just because your politics only has 2 sides doesn't mean any criticism of one side is automatically in favour of the other.

When did obama say anything devisive? When did he actively intended to enflame tense situation? When did he say anything outright disrespectful to his opposition ? Obama may not have been perfect but he was always respectful, always kept his cool.

Comparing Trump's hateful rhetoric of his opposition to How obama conducted himself is a bad joke.

One thing a lot of people don't realise is that Trump is the first president in a long time that hasn't invaded a country. Sure he's authorised bombings, which president hasn't?

But I can't remember the last time a president didn't put troops somewhere. Ironically he's getting a lot of hate for pulling out of Syria/Germany.

You din't find it divisive becauee you agree with a lot of what he says. A lot of people found it divisive and the result was Trump.
