@kennyj43 6 лет назад

Been meaning to watch this for some time and finally got around to it. It is an interesting talk with good questions for the most part. Favreau, as one would expect from a wordsmith, is quite articulate and a joy to listen to. And it is especially interesting watching this a year and a bit since Trump entered the White House and really being able to see the stark differences between the visions for America and its governance and the approach to carrying out the duties of the presidency between Obama and Trump. And those differences could not be clearer. Whereas Obama espoused an open, clear, far-sighted, uplifting vision of and for the country that calls it to aspire and to be its better self and strove to achieve that, with Trump it is small, weak, partisan, divisive and petty. America and the world are the poorer for Trump's ascent to power.

@opheliaallen8741 5 лет назад

Trump is ugly on the inside as well as outside. You can surgically correct the outside but changing on the inside (especially if your over 70) takes hard work and that shouldn't be done when your President of the US. The only thing Trump breeds is hate. Pure and simple hate. Nothing he has ever said or done is encouraging or hopeful. Oh God, what has happened to the US???

@Danny B You are such a total bs artist. No one needed "Obama" to give the United States: Trump - out of ALLL the 3 million republicans who ran for President against Trump.
