The point is that Trump had zero control of that phenomena while Obama, comparively speaking (relative to Trump), had massive, governmental authoritative resources, therefore the other end of the spectrum with regard to control. — raza

To utilise your analogy, therefore, Trump was neither the robber or the store owner whereas Obama would be the store owner. — raza
Not really. The point is that Store owners didn't ought to be best buddies with store robbers. And if they are, folks start to talk about 'an inside job'. — unenlightened
Your premise that Trump had zero control is unsupported, so you cannot conclude that trump was not the robber. And the store owner cannot be held responsible for the theft (unless there is evidence of 'an inside job'). That responsibility is placed squarely on the thief — Metaphysician Undercover
The “store owner” has responsibility for security (just as Hillary Clinton was responsible for security of classified material with which she spectacularly failed at). — raza
I just said your premise that Trump had zero control is unsupported. So we cannot yet rule out the possibility that trump is the robber — Metaphysician Undercover
So the robber goes to court and says look judge, the store owner should have prevented me from robbing the store he's the real guilty party. — Metaphysician Undercover
Man, you got it bad, ain't you? No, Trump is best buddies with Putin, and Putin is looking to undermine the alliance against him, and foment conflict within both Europe and the US. Trump is just a puppet, and the US is run from Moscow. And for sure this operation has been many years in the making, far longer than Trump's presidency — unenlightened
