You may be right, but if Obama can't call out Trump's lack of qualifications, how can you (or any of us) do the same to Obama, Trump, etc?

Because Donald Trump isn't particularly unqualified, especially compared to people like George W Bush and Obama?

Trump lacks governmental experience and that's it. He's a pretty outstanding, educated human being otherwise. And most "experienced" politicians are lazy pieces of shite who don't really do anything anyway. As an example, Trump's high-level business negotiation experience grossly outweighs the fact that Obama spent 2 years in the senate and didn't really do anything noteworthy in the meantime. The narrative that you somehow have to be a politician to get people to do what you want is complete bullshite, and I can name 100 other things that the media used to frame Trump as "unqualified" that are irrelevant, too.

Obama is unqualified. Bush was unqualified. Trump is pretty damn qualified when you look at his body of work and elite education in negotiation, economics, finance, civics, etc.

Does that mean he'll be a great president? No. But Obama is by far the most unqualified president in the history of the USA so I don't think he should be throwing stones at someone like Trump. And for that matter, I don't think that a bunch of morons with gender studies degrees should be talking about economics and the future of our country's finances. Just saying. People these days don't know how or when to shut the frick up, and Obama piled on to that problem in a serious way
