I could see deplorables circling the White House holding pitchforks and torches if Trump suddenly expressed a desire to fellate the Obama legacy.Ah, a personal grudge. I've read his book The Art of the Comeback and know from his own mouth that he is the kind of person who would use a national office to do that.
And since so much of the Obama legacy was implemented via executive fiat instead of enacting legislation (BTW, Obama was a senator from Illinois at one time, so it's not like any of this was a unknown to him) it is within Trumps limited skill set to undo so much of it exactly the same way it was gestated.
Additionally, IIRC, it was the 2011 National Press Club banquet where Obama skewered Trump with some zingers and it doesn't take too much acumen to read Trump's expression while it was happening and conclude then and there Trump decided to run and undo as much Obama-ism as possible if he won. I know it sounds petty and grudgy, but I don't know of anyone who has ever claimed the Donald ISN'T petty and grudgy.
It seems petty to us because the POTUS is such an important office. But for a billionaire like Trump, it's just a tool for his use.

End of story.
I try not to reduce everything to that kind of nonthinking. It's no different from saying "God did it."
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
