This evil man should be impeached as soon as possible. He is a huge disgrace to America and the world. He only wants to give benefits to rich conservative white men and wants everybody else to suffer. He's so rude to others and everything he's done so far in his awful presidency is so bad. I don't care what any of you say, if you roast me, I won't listen. Impeach him now.
Giving people more jobs is the only good thing that Trump has done so far. - PerfectImpulseX
I don't hate Trump or anything but he definitely is controversial. You have these republicans saying "Oh yes, Donald Trump should withdraw from the Paris Agreement" and these liberals saying "No! Trump is going to make Earth look like crap! ". How much support and backlash does he get on each of his actions? - CobaltCards
Like the other person said, his approval rating was pretty low when he started, but it always was. I'm not going to throw in a bunch of evidence to support my conspiracy and make a million character essay, but the polls were definitely controversial. - Zakattack2

He was elected again in 2012, beating Mitt Romney. Well, I won't deny how people perceive him is polarizing. On the bright side, at least his approval rating is pretty good. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
When history fairly scrutinizes Obama's record, this country and the world will see him as he truly was; a master of deception, a charlatan and a first class "used car salesman".
He was probably the main reason that Trump was elected. He was almost the exact opposite of Trump. Those who like Trump couldn't stand Obama. Those who liked Obama can't stand Trump
