The Little I Know,
Please do not resort to name calling.
If you can disagree with objectivity there is what to discuss.

First, you are confusing 2 different accusations against Obama regarding Iran and money.
The 150 Billion dollars was never delivered with cash. I can’t even imagine $150,000,000,000 in cash.
There was 400 Million dollars delivered to Iran in cash on a pallet in January 2016. It was on the same day as 4 American citizens detained were released and it was claimed to be for a decades-old dispute with Iran that had been litigated before an international tribunal and America was obligated to pay. You should check your version.

The truth is I do not know Obama’s motivations, but neither do you. That is my point.
You are not a psychologist and to propose that you are 100% positive of your understanding of Obama’s actions sounds a bit arrogant to me.
His legacy is debatable (between favorable and critical ) as are all presidents .Presidents know that they must say and act in unpopular ways. Some people will laud them for it and some people will condemn them for it. You can claim that it is etched in manure and I can claim that it is etched in gold. I am not lying or being offensive or arrogant and neither are you.
To claim that any action taken by a past president is in order to secure their legacy, without reading their minds , is pure speculation. Obama and Trump are doing what they believe in. Of course after they are out of office they will want what they believe in to continue. Nothing to do with a legacy.

“Obama’s administration is lauded by no one outside of the DNC and the media they own. “This is partially true. But there are things that Obama did that even some republicans are in favor of . The Affordable Care act is one. The reversing the economy from the Financial crisis is another. Eliminating OBL is another . Trump also has done things that he will be lauded for by all Americans. For example, the first 3 years the economy was doing great according to all standards.
You have your perspective but it is very subjective.
The different views will partially depend on whether you listen to fox news or the Lincoln project.

I never heard that a politician was in favor with the complete elimination of all police departments.
Were they also in favor in freeing everyone from jails and prisons? Eliminating the army, navy, air force and marines? Eliminating the department of sanitation? Fire Department ?
Where are you getting this information from ?
The NYC police are still paid decently (not terrific) and can retire after 20 years with a pension. No need to be so worried about their pay or being eliminated.

I never wrote anything about the racial divide and whether Trump is escalating.
Regarding this point , I think we can agree that he is not trying to de-escalate it.
