More giving Trump credit in cases where he's coasting on what President Obama did. Thread:

At factcheck, Roseanne's tweet would be graded "Mostly True", the caveat being that President Trump has benefited from & continued the work President Obama accelerated on anti-human trafficking. This is an excerpt from his address on the matter in 2012.

Replying to @MovieJay @therealroseanne

After signing an EO on anti-human trafficking in 2012, Obama began "The President's Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons". His was the 1st admin to create a database of human trafficking cases & statistics called the Victim Assistance Database.

To be fair, anti-human trafficking is a bi-partisan issue. Obama got the GOP-led congress to pass the "Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act" (2015), which gives Customs & Border Agents the right to refuse entry of any imports suspected of being made by forced labor.

The results of what Obama got rolling in his 1st term, when greater interagency cooperation along w/greater public-private cooperation (you have Hillary Clinton to thank for this when she was Sec. of State) began to lead in his 2nd term to a much higher degree of convictions.

Some 6,000 human trafficking cases, 4,000 convictions, 2,000 victims freed, mostly in Obama's 2nd term. Trump has thankfully allowed this to continue. I give him kudos for that, but the credit on the success of anti-human trafficking we're seeing belongs to Barack Obama.

No probs! Now, on the matter of this conspiracy stuff having to do w/"Pizzagate" or "The Storm", I have to say I'm ignorant of "news" that comes from 4chan.

It didn't come from 4chan. It came from wiki leaks email drop. So yes your ignorance is in fact present.

You are incorrect. "The Storm" conspiracy theory came from 4chan posts made by QAnon. This is well-documented.

"If you don't watch the show, you can't criticize it"

I guess the fictional Rosey Con is not as bad as the real life Roseanne Barr

But the show is supposed to be an honest accurate portrayal of life in America

In a recent speech Trump gushed about the show to his minions: "it's about US"
