如何评价川普称奥巴马制造了“美国历史上最大的政治犯罪”并创造新词Obamagate？
Trump claims Obama committed 'biggest political crime in American history'
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/10/trump-obama-biggest-political-american-history-russia-michael-flynn
Donald Trump continued to fume over the Russia investigation on Sunday, more than a year after special counsel Robert Mueller filed his report without recommending charges against the president but only three days after the justice department said it would drop its case against Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser.
“The biggest political crime in American history, by far!” the president wrote in a tweet accompanying a conservative talk show host’s claim that Barack Obama “used his last weeks in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the new administration”.
The tweet echoed previous messages retweeted by Trump, which earned rebukes for relaying conspiracy theories. On Sunday afternoon the president continued to send out a stream of tweets of memes and rightwing talking heads claiming an anti-Trump conspiracy. One tweet by Trump simply read: “OBAMAGATE!”
Trump fired Flynn, a retired general, in early 2017, for lying to Vice-President Mike Pence about conversations with the Russian ambassador regarding sanctions levied by the Obama administration in retaliation for interference in the 2016 election.
The US intelligence community has long held that such efforts were meant to tip the election towards Trump and away from Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI – which Trump has acknowledged – and co-operated with Mueller, who was appointed to take over the investigation of Russian interference after Trump fired FBI director James Comey.
Mueller did not establish a criminal conspiracy but did lay out extensive links between Trump and Moscow and instances of possible obstruction of justice by the president.
Flynn sought to change his plea while awaiting sentencing and the president championed his case, floating a possible pardon. On Thursday, in an act that stunned the US media, attorney general William Barr said the justice department would drop the case entirely.

Fact check: Claims Obama is first to “speak against successor”
Among the hundreds of #ObamaGate retweets President Trump sent over the weekend was a widely circulated meme with a photo of former President Barack Obama stating, “First Ex-President To Speak Against Successor.” Mr. Trump retweeted the meme, writing, “He got caught, OBAMAGATE!”
The meme had been seen on the Internet in past years. Now it’s adding fuel to the current #ObamaGate fire on Twitter.
Is Obama the only president in U.S. history to denounce his successor?
The short answer is no. There are several presidents in recent history who have spoken out against their successors to different news and media outlets.
Barack Obama
The 44th president has openly declined to publicly attack President Trump in several cases. However, he has been more outspoken in recent months as the November election nears.
During a speech at the University of Illinois in September 2018, Mr. Obama called Mr. Trump a “symptom, not a cause” of division in the U.S.
“He’s just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years,” Obama said. “A fear and anger that’s rooted in our past, but it’s also born out of the enormous upheavals that have taken place in your brief lifetimes.”
Bill Clinton
Former President Bill Clinton has taken a turn at criticizing his successor, George Bush, for the handling of the Iraq war — noting there was no “military victory” at the hand of Bush’s administration.
“There is no evidence that, whether we have a good day in a particular community or region in Iraq, that we have either the political reconciliation process within the country working or any diplomatic process that’s got a chance to help with the neighbors,” the Democrat said of his Republican successor in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America in July 2007.
George H.W. Bush
George H.W. Bush, like Mr. Obama, had a general rule of not speaking against successors. Yet, he did so often while campaigning for Republican candidates during the 1994 mid-term elections.
Bush repeatedly offered criticisms of Mr. Clinton, accusing him of “taking credit for the U.S. economic recovery.”
“He has the nerve to blame Republicans for his own failures and the shortcomings of the Democratic Congress,” Bush said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Mr. Bush returned to criticize Mr. Clinton for his behavior. He noted he was concerned by the “lack of respect” coming from the White House Oval Office.
“But I must confess I have been deeply concerned by what appears to be a lack of respect for the office I was so very proud to hold,” Mr. Bush said in a keynote address to the Safari Club during an annual hunter’s convention, as reported by the Associated Press.
Jimmy Carter
The 39th president spoke against his successor more than once after Ronald Reagan defeated him for the 1980 presidential campaign. Mr. Carter argued that while his administration made mistakes, he denounced the Reagan administration for “blaming [their] mistakes on their predecessors.”
The New York Times reported in 1982 that Mr. Carter said Mr. Reagan failed at “accepting his responsibilities.”
Months later, former President Carter publicly criticized the Reagan administration for its changes to U.S. policy — calling them “radical departures.”
“It’s true President Reagan inherited some serious problems from my administration,” Mr. Carter said, according to a news article from United Press International in 1982. “I inherited some from President Ford. But to try to forego blame and say all these problems are my predecessor’s fault is patently irresponsible and ill-advised.”
Gerald Ford
Just as Jimmy Carter publicly spoke against his successor, he was also the target of former president Gerald Ford. Namely, criticisms went toward his economic policies.
“Mr. Carter’s anti-inflation program came in like a lion,” Pres. Ford said in a 1977 interview with the Washington Post. “It’s going out like a mouse.”
Through the years of former Pres. Jimmy Carter’s presidential career, Mr. Ford repeatedly spoke out against his handling of the then-economic crisis. Among those criticisms, he called Mr. Carter’s policies a “catastrophe.”
“They’ve been disasters. We handed them the economy on a silver platter,” Mr. Ford said, according to the Associated Press. “The president blew it.”

转移注意力的标准行为。
舔川和舔习没有任何差别。不要以为敌人的敌人就是朋友。不要以为川普反中就觉得川普是盟友。
川普和习近平才是盟友，和诸位自由民都是对立的。川普的所有行为和共产党的行为模式如出一辙。比如对媒体的敌视、树立外部假想敌（比如墨西哥与中国）、削弱内部制衡力量（削弱司法部独立性）、任人唯亲铲除异己（白宫内已经没有非舔狗了）。川普和习帝心心相惜。他的这些独裁倾向的行为是十分危险的倾向。不要觉得美国的民主制度很强大，这个制度的强大是建立在每个人都警惕每个政治人物的基础上的。
再深入看，到目前看来，川普是典型的反中不反共。
比如，他所有直指的反对对象其实都是中国民间力量，比如中国的留学生，中国的出口的小商品。但一旦涉及到中共，川普则一直是赞扬。比如在香港的问题上，川普明显在挺共。川普告诉大家，他相信中国能处理好香港问题，直到党内压力实在太大的时候才勉为其难说了几句像话的话。
而不知道从什么时候开始中文论坛上流行民主党舔共。但实际上在过去的二三十年里美国的主流看法就是扶中反共： 当中国经济腾飞之后，大家就会有民主诉求从而导致共产党倒台。所以，民主党和共和党在过去的二三十年里都对中国采取容忍态度。但这完全不妨碍民主党对共产党强烈的反对态度。比如佩罗西对共产党的态度就比川普的暧昧要明确的多。
如果我们看川普和希拉里对中国的批评，这种差异就非常明显了。川普批评中国：他们抢走我们的工作，抢走我们的技术，抢走我们的钱。希拉里批评中国：中国人权堪忧。
所以，分清党国很重要。不仅要分清爱国和爱党的差别，还要分清恨国和恨党的差别。
