Rev-people who voted for Obama usually have better answers for what he's done wrong than people who "don't like" him. That was my point.

Because Trump isn't a celebrity and he's so genuine.

I'm pretty sure they're not "movies."

He's a "celebrity".

Why shouldn't he be? He was the leader of the free world for 8 years.

The ideal example of an ex-president is Herbert Hoover, who ran a humanitarian organization after his presidency that saved a million lives.

Cashing in on being president and making Netflix shows just doesn't live up.

Then what are they? I know he's not making fictional movies. Duh.

I voted for him the first go round.  Turned out to be a drone warlord and the deporter in chief.  Haven;t voted in a presidential election since.

The Obamas do plenty of humanitarian work.

What will they be making? Given the way they're talking about it, it sounds like current event programs and possibly documentaries. Maybe they'll be promoting the Obama Foundation. Who knows. You still worded it like "making movies" as if it was some beneath him practice like filming episodes of Ninja Warrior or something, so go Duh yourself, brah.

I dislike Trump about a thousand times more than Obama. Politicians in general tend to rub me the wrong way.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

But I thought we had to accept them and how things are when they're in office.

Never said that at all.
