For example someone like Obama...?

When did obama say anything devisive? When did he actively intended to enflame tense situation? When did he say anything outright disrespectful to his opposition ? Obama may not have been perfect but he was always respectful, always kept his cool. Comparing Trump's hateful rhetoric of his opposition to How obama conducted himself is a bad joke.

  One thing a lot of people don't realise is that Trump is the first president in a long time that hasn't invaded a country. Sure he's authorised bombings, which president hasn't? But I can't remember the last time a president didn't put troops somewhere. Ironically he's getting a lot of hate for pulling out of Syria/Germany.

  Actions speak louder than words. Obama did nothing to receive the prize but being a puppet of George Soros. Trump achieved something historical in the Middle East.

  You din't find it divisive becauee you agree with a lot of what he says. A lot of people found it divisive and the result was Trump.

    Inclusive language does not stop being inclusive just because it angers racists. Stop arguing in bad faith. Obama and Trump both have twitter accounts. Do you really want to start comparing the public record?

      Why do you think Twitter is the right platform to measure that by?

        Because it's easiest to search. Please, explain to me how "LIBERATE MICHIGAN" is not divisive.

        It easy to search but it doesn't have many of Trumps voters which makes it a useless platform to decide or measure whether Obama was divisive.

      > Do you really want to start comparing the public record? Public record is what they did when they were both in office for the people of the United States. I would definitely compare the two because Trump will win hands down. You are wanting to compare the two Twitter accounts. Tweets don't feed people. Tweets don't solve issues. Tweets don't make policies. > Inclusive language does not stop being inclusive just because it angers racists. Since you wanted to compare the two let us start with funding of Historically Black Colleges. Because a "racist" President would never increase funds for HBCUs. Instead, he would ensure that the funding is reduced. Obama in the first two years: $1.43B. Trump in first two years of his office: $1.58B [1]. "And even though we may not be able to fully trust numbers compiled by officials working under partisan directives, there are few budget outlines of any kind which suggest other than what too many of us fear; the guy we love to hate is showing historic love to historically black colleges."

I’ve been around a long time and I’ve never seen so many black folks gathered in the Oval Office,” said Haynes, who was part of that photo opportunity. He also helped bring together the Trump administration and congressional leaders to discuss areas of collaboration between HBCUs and the federal government. “With this executive order, we will make HBCUs a priority in the White House — an absolute priority,” Trump said. “A lot of people are going to be angry that they’re not a priority, but that’s OK.” [2]: https://theundefeated.com/features/trump-signs-executive-order-on-hbcus/ https://theundefeated.com/features/trump-signs-executive-ord...

Just because your politics only has 2 sides doesn't mean any criticism of one side is automatically in favour of the other.
