Obama was shit, of course, and yet I think one of his unintentional acts of ruination was to make trump-anguish so mad at that one particular roasting that he’s been lashing back at it ever after.

Thanks, Obama. obama-drone

    Oh I thought this was confirmed trump lore already?

    In any event, Trump never intended to win the election. His plan, epic crybaby that he is, was to lose and make money on a media tour afterwards complaining about Hillary stealing the election from him. Of course he managed to screw that up too, and accidentally became president.

    Trump’s had to make a few variations on the “big steal” theme since then, but overall that part of his agenda is going somewhat according to plan after 2020. Except now he got himself in hot water committing felonies while in office, so he thinks he has to win in ‘24 in order for those to go away. Will be interesting to see how this whole debacle concludes - running against a former DA isn’t a promising development for ol trumpty dumpty.

      He’s the dog that caught the car, but his malignant narcissism compels him to never, ever own up to a mistake and to just bullshit his way through it, forever.

    to me this really is a moral indictment of Obama. The idea that your smug shitheadedness isn’t going to backfire, isn’t going to have consequences, is on display here as the farce it is.

    If you are less than righteous, you are incapable of making the world a better place. With every action a powerful person takes that is outside the light of God, the world itself spirals closer to its final destruction.

    or something.

    i just think that this is a completely understandable outcome of that behavior.

    spite motivates more than love, it motivates more than treats and dopamine.

      Yeah, it kind of is.

      spite motivates more than love, it motivates more than treats and dopamine.

      As we saw with covid, when spite and treat motivations combine, the momentum can be unstoppable.

    Trump ran for president before he got roasted at the WHCD by Obama. I think what it did was create more contempt for Barry, manifesting fully when Trump peed all over the Obamas’ bed.

      Was that campaign for 16 already begun, or do you mean his multiple go-nowhere previous attempts, including as a Democrat? I don’t know, you tell me.

        His go nowhere previous attempts. He ran in 2000, 2004, and 2012. IIRC he never ran as a Democrat, though he did endorse a few of them after he left the party. His earlier attempts were as a member of the Reform Party and (after 2000) as a Republican.
