Barack Obama broke the post-World War II order by saying that America ought to lead from behind, that we ought to retreat from the world, cede power to Russia.

Remember, in 2012, he literally told Dmitry Medvedev, who was the stand-in for Vladimir Putin, that if Putin backed off before the 2012 election, there would be benefits on the other side of the election.

He was caught on a hot mic saying that.

And he says that he was in favor of the post-World War II alliances?

He said, quote, we're not just going to go ahead and demand tribute and bully people.

We're going to be part of some larger consensus about how something should work.

And then he blames Trump for pulling out of Paris and and by imposing tariffs and getting out of the Iran nuclear deal.

This is Obama shtick.

So here is the thing.

Here is the thing.

The past is not the past.

It is the future.

Again, we think of the Trump era as itself.

He sort of Star Wars original trilogy trilogy.

Right.

Term one was a new hope.

And then the Joe Biden presidency was the Empire Strikes Back.

And now Trump is back in Return of the Jedi.

But what if we are not thinking along a long enough timeline?

What if the entire Trump era was a new hope?
