there was a lot of vitriol for president obama among donald trump support rs. a lot of them trashing the president when they were describing why they were choosing donald trump. they wanted someone to go in there and change things because either president obama didn't change things enough, as promised or they felt he was taking the country in the wrong direction. it will be interesting to see how donald trump's supporters react to his newfound friendliness with the president whether it matters at all. as you know, we have talked to them on a number offish ys and when donald trump waffled on a key issue or he's changed his mind about something or developed a newfound relationship with somebody he was once critical of his supporters haven't necessarily held him accountable for it. but this is one that could be pretty glaring for some of his more strident supporters who didn't believe president obama either should have been in office because they believed he was born in other countries or they believe he was, in some cases, some believed this and donald trump allud
