With all due respect, the same can easily be said for conservatives. The point that should be made is POLITICIANS and HYPOCRISY go hand in hand.
Serious question though. Why does Trump feel the need to respond with hostility and pettiness to every perceived sleight? (comments from celebs, news media types, general commentary from the common public, etc).
Being overbearing whilst in possession of a fragile ego isn't something that suits a president who is trying to run a country.

I agree that as of 1/20/17 he needs to tone it down.
Trump Is Going to Regret Not Having a Grand Strategy

^ https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/stories/things-obama-has-done-environment these are enough for me to thank him for his 8 years. Tell me who in 8 yrs could have fixed the mess George jr left behind....and pray the mess DiaperDon leaves will be fixable. Pray, because when he comes into office, you'll need many prayers and more

Did you not read the mess he left behind?. 10 trillion is not small change, less people employed, less health benefits, more poverty and so on and on.
And you worry about the amount of fish he created????. I respect your opinion but think a little here. Doubling the debt of each US individual is not what a leader should be proud and all of the above.

Thank you for your respectful response, but I don't believe many of the statistics posted about his short comings, I think they're inflated, look at their source. Without fish and other wildlife, this planet will not be fit for humans, let alone roaches. Liking and wanting environmental advances might seem trivial, but in the long run, and in the big picture, the environment is what sustains us and keeps the planet living. Without a planet, whats the point of money, or jobs. I'm also realistic about things, to advance somethings others will suffer. I feel he did what he could and if you think Diaperdon is going to make things better, I feel bad for you. However, in 4 yrs, or perhaps in the next few months, as I'm thinking/hoping he'll be impeached, I won't say I told you so because I'll be feeling so terribly sorry for all who thought Daiperdon would fix what you all feel needs fixing.

Thoughts on this Cristy?.
Over the past eight years, President Barack Obama and his family have spent more than $10 million a year for travel and vacations, totaling in excess of $85 million and that sum is still growing.
The numbers were revealed Monday by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. The organization has been tracking the president’s travel spending for several years and just disclosed, based on bills it received this week, that the first family spent almost $5 million in taxpayer money for their annual Christmas vacation to Hawaii last year.
The exact number for the 2015 holiday trip rang in at $4,823,206.88, which accounted for a robust U.S. Secret Service apparatus, flights and transportation and lodging for the security officials. That number does not include the costs for prepositioning aircraft and ships in the area or much of the necessary communications to protect the president and his family.
"The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel," Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in a statement on the matter. "Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers’ dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration."
The first family also dined at several top-of-the-line restaurants while they were on the trip, which — in addition to the fees for the food — required presidential-level security.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the information in January and the documents were released in response to a lawsuit filed on May 6.

^ My thoughts are meh....if those numbers are correct how do they compare to past presidents travel expenses, and how will Diaperdons compare?
I meet with a lot of gents that run their own businesses and who travel globally some of my perspective, info, and conclusions come from their points and opinions. Fact remains unemployment in the US usually runs about 6% it's now at 4 point ...% and that is thanks to Obama as are other positive changes.....but like anything if you like someone you'll find all the good they do, if you dislike someone you'll find all the bad.....
I like Obama, he is the first US president that has demonstrated what being a family man is truly like, he's smart, and intelligence I find impressive, he is aware of what needs changing, what doesn't and I believe he truly cares what happens to this planet and to all those who inhabit it. Has he made mistakes, probably, could he have done better, perhaps. But every president could have.
All in all I think most who voted for Diaperdon, will in the end, be hoping they didn't. But then again, Diaperdon is so good at taking credit for things he hasn't done, for covering up his own mistakes by pointing out anothers and posting bullshit childishness on social media, that most of those who voted him in, will be so buried in that mire, they'll miss the big picture.

I've been following the BBC coverage. It's interesting to watch the entire process through their eyes.
