An aggressive and confrontational Donald Trump forcing Obama to get off his butt.
Within 96 hours, from April 27th to May 1st, a frantic and desperate Barack Obama tried two things to reverse the collapse of his failing presidency and restore his fading reelection hopes: he released a copy of his long form birth certificate (which he could have done in 2008) to silence Donald Trump and the gathering storm over his birthplace; then he ordered the raid on Osama Bin Ladin's Abbottabad hideout (which he could have done in October or November of last year) to stop Trump and right wing critics from pounding away at his ineffective and misguided leadership on foreign and domestic policy. Indeed, Donald Trump succeeded where Clinton, Gates, Panetta and others within the administration had probably failed. Trump blasting Obama for his weak, feckless. incompetent presidency, leading us into economic, strategic and military decline, is what finally worked in getting Obama to act-to move against the Abbottabad facility without confirmation that bin Laden was inside.
Indeed, if Trump hadn't aggressively gone after Obama and hammered away at his failures the opportunity to capture and kill bin Ladin might have slippd away. For eventually bin Ladin's support group inside Pakistan's military and security services would have learned of the CIA operation and alerted bin Ladin who'd have fled the compound. That the CIA was able to keep its surveillance program secret for eight months was lucky for Obama and the nation, for it couldn't have gone on indefinitely. Indeed, every day that Obama stupidly delayed in ordering the raid was another day closer to losing bin Laden.
