Charles Krauthammer: No Doubt Obama Left ‘Landmines’ for President Trump

Given the devastating losses the Democrats suffered in November, they realized that they had just over two months to adjust to a new reality with Mr. Obama still in the White House. An honorable strategy would have been to analyze where things went so wrong, and plan for a better future. Perhaps that’s going on, but it is eclipsed by a far more potent strategy: sabotage President Trump.

This work of attempting to topple President Trump has taken several forms. One involves the “Organizing for Action” group that Mr. Obama and Valarie Jarrett are planning to run from his Washington, DC home. One purpose of this effort is to train rabble-rousers and social agitators in the model of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” to disrupt conservative gatherings and Trump rallies.

A more sinister goal is to actually topple a sitting president by forcing him to resign or to see him impeached and removed from office. This borders on sedition, however you can be sure Mr. Obama has plenty of lawyers on staff to guide this effort without landing him in jail.

The incessant accusations of wrongdoing by Mr. Trump as well as his staff and cabinet members relating to Russia is clearly part of the Obama and Democratic leadership plans. None of this is happening by accident, as though these virtuous and forthright Democrats just happened on a mountain of evidence pointing to illegal contacts between President Trump and other leadership members such as Attorney General Session. In fact, no evidence of illegal contacts have been made after months of acrimonious debate.

As Charles Krauthammer states in the following interview, there is no doubt that Obama left behind “landmines” created for the purpose of derailing and ultimately destroying the Trump presidency. This dovetails perfectly with the rest of his plans, and Obama and his allies had two months after the election to get things in place.

In taking on Donald Trump, Mr. Obama might have bitten off more than he can chew. Let us hope so. And let us hope President Trump turns loose a team of government investigators to dig all the way to the bottom of this story. Mr. Obama might wind up wishing he had just moved to Hawaii where he could play continuous rounds of golf in peace.
