The Look Of Devastation On This Top Obama Adviser’s Face When He Realizes Trump Beat Hillary
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
If there’s one person on Team Obama who had trouble coping with the fact that the country decided to elect a man who is the diametric opposite of his boss, it’s Ben Rhodes. Rhodes, who served as Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting, was the Obama’s mouthpiece for his foreign policy agenda. From Syria to the shoddy Iran nuclear deal, there was Rhodes crafting the Obama White House’s narrative to be sold to the American public.
Since the 2016 election, Rhodes has taken to his Twitter account to criticize Trump’s foreign policy, mostly because the 45thpresident is everything that Obama is not in this field. Trump doesn’t dither. He doesn’t make promises and can’t back them up, which was an appalling aspect of Obama’s foreign policy—and I think the people of Syria would agree. Rhodes does not like the fact that Trump calls what some things are in the world, like “radical Islamic terrorism,” saying it alienates Muslim allies and emboldens our enemies. He said the more Trump taunts North Korea, the less of a chance there is for a diplomatic solution; North Korea agreed to denuclearization and a renewed peace agreement, though the proposed talks in Singapore next month have hit a bump with the president signaling our withdrawal from the summit. Yet, we’re still sending a diplomatic team to the city-state. He said Iran was complying with the nuclear agreement—wrong.
In HBO’s latest documentary, The Final Year, which highlights the Obama administration final months in power, Rhodes is captured grappling with the 2016 results. He’s perplexed. For a man who was the president’s mouth on foreign policy, he’s at a loss for words. He cannot articulate any of his opinions. He’s totally awe-struck that Donald J. Trump has beaten Hillary Clinton. He tells the cameras he’s outside trying to process the end of the Obama era and the beginning of what will become the Trump presidency. It’s the encapsulation of how every liberal felt that night. It was a sledgehammer to the face, the delicious reminder that demography is not destiny, that working class voters matter, that rural America mattered, and that liberals do not have a monopoly on the reign of power in this country. Trump allowed the Right to deliver a devastating uppercut to liberal America, a much-needed humbling for a segment of the nation that is still insufferably condescending towards those who don’t live in cities, have college degrees, or think that being woke is some form of achievement. We win and you lose. That’s the end of the story—and his face represents that feeling. You lost, bro. Now pack up your stuff and get out.

What is the point of this article?
Trump won? Yeah we know, the nation has been suffering the indignity of that calamity for a year and a half now.
You should spend less time remembering Hillary Clinton and more time facing the fact that Trump is lying more and more every day. His approval ratings are due to hit the skids again.
And you haven't quit whining and crying about it since.
See, here is the funny part. This article isn't about the Crypt Keeper. It's Ben Rhodes.
I'm starting to think you have an unhealthy addiction to polls. I would have thought that after that fateful November November night in 2016 you would have realized (like many others) that polls are inaccurate.
For the millionth time, the polls in the general election were bang on. Morning Jeremy, donut?
If they were bang on, then we wouldn't have President Trump.
Not a donut person. Thanks anyway. You doing good?
Umm, no Jeremy, the polls did not say that Trump could not earn a victory, in fact, they made no prediction at all of who would actually win. They predicted who would win the most votes, by how much, and they were bang on. And I'm doing great because it's...BAR DAY, WOO HOOO! Thanks for asking.
Polls reflect the POPULAR vote, which Hillary won by ~4.2%. Most polls had her winning the popular vote by.....wait for it...........~4%. The polls were spot on...
Polls DO NOT reflect the ELECTORATE, which is what elects presidents.
This shit really isn't that hard to understand.
She sure as hell didn't get 95% of the popular vote. Although it is funny that you would think that.
which is something that leftists want to do away with because it worked like it was supposed to and STILL handed you all a devastating loss.
Every president who was put into office by means of the EC (Hayes, 1876; Bush, 2000, now ScumptyDumpty) has been an unmitigated disaster for this country and this current disaster is going to be even worse than the last. And no president has been as big a liar, by orders of magnitude, that the current massive Shitbag whose despoiling that office and the country in general right now.
I never said she did, I said she won the popular vote by about 4%. Skirting the Coc "BF"
No they don't, that's just what YOU want to believe the left wants so you can justify your hatred and rage.
And suddenly, because the left didn't get their way, it has to be eliminated.
And no president has been as big a liar
And that hurt your feelings. You know what happens after your feelings get hurt? NOTHING . You move on. Well, normal people move on. Liberals and leftists have a tendency to stand there stomping their feet, crying and shouting at the sky but nobody really cares about adults acting like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum. Maybe you should file a report. Here, use this one . Feel free to make copies and give it to your friends who can't deal with loss and rejection.
I have a challenge for you. NOBODY to date has been able to do it (and I doubt you will be able to do it). The challenge is to name 1 politician that hasn't lied. That's it. ONE politician who hasn't lied. If the President's "lies" offend you so much, you shouldn't have a problem finding that one politician that doesn't lie that can take his place AND continue the success we are seeing with a President who doesn't bow to the Saudi Prince and takes the time for our military.
I don't have any hatred or rage. You couldn't beat the smile off my face every time I see some liberal/leftist suffering from TDS blather on about nothing. It's HILARIOUS that so many people are still so devastated by something that was a result of people from all over the country. It's been just over 18 months. I didn't think it possible for a hissy fit to last this long. But it is entertaining, I will give you all that.
Then why does your own comments speak volumes of such? For someone who says they don't have hatred or rage, you certainly do a good job of spewing an endless amount of it here on NT.
You flatter yourself. My "feelings" have nothing to do with the fact that your Scumbag is bent (could just stop there) on destroying anything and everything that this country was founded on. He's guilty as hell and he'll try to pull the whole country down with him with the help of the likes of you cheering him on. I do take that seriously and wonder how someone aiding and abetting him could even begin to tell themselves they're "patriots." I guess it was that same perverted idea of "patriotism" that drove the slavers of the South to commit treason and subject this nation to the bloodiest war in its history. That's bad company you keep, boy.
Hillary lost the election, but still the whining from the right wing continues. Sad.
