I'm surprised that nobody looks at the insipid presidency of Obama as one of the explanations for the rise of Trump. Obama has been little more than a figurehead of a system that runs itself and therefore can be considered as "out of control". Throwing a monkey wrench in the system may at this point be the only way for the voter to take back control.
