Trump sure seems pissed off over the Obamas’ DNC jabs
"Did you see Barack Hussein Obama last night? He was taking shots at your president. And so is Michelle," the former president griped on Wednesday.
I mean Obama - an articulate black man - was legitimately reelected to a second term, whilst the Cheetoh in Chief was illegitimate based on the popular vote and failed reelction. That must burn him badly.
I agree. Just a heads up
articulate black man
is often considered a micro-aggression
articulate [for a] black man
especially when using the word “articulate.”
I know that wasn’t your intent and I’m not “calling you out.”It’s just an FYI re: phrasing that easily summons a larger history of backhanded complements.

When the color of their skin is otherwise irrelevant, I get you, but in this instance I think it's relevant because Trump seems like a racist idiot. It's salt upon injury, not because a rare black man who happens to be articulate owned him, but because a rare articulate man who happens to be black did. The point is the same, but the latter doesn't perpetuate racism. Context matters.
Maybe I'm too naive, but that's how I interpreted OP's comment.
Just something about Obama that uniquely gets under his skin, and I love to see it.
It's mainly his skin color.
It’s this amazing combination of the skin color, Obama’s natural charisma but juxtaposed by his almost cartoonish handsome-minstrel-ness. Like Obama just looks like a black guy, but sounds like the second-coming of JFK, and fuck does that hurt all of their feelings so bad.
Charismatic black man very publicly made fun of him, that's about it.
That something is easy to find! See for yourself:

I watch that a time or two a year, always brings joy.
Obama beats his ass like a redheaded stepchild, and Trump has to sit there and seethe.
Yeah, and the he was elected :(
I see the link. I watch the video. Every time. Gotta take those moments to enjoy life when they present themselves.
Oh I'm well aware
Imagine the rioting from the GOP if Obama had worn a tan suit for that speech...
Lol!
"Only I can insult people, you can't do that to me"
Thanks Obama! (I mean it this time, really!)
If we could get the Obamas to insult him 2x a week, he might have a cardiac event already and go the fuck away! Just a thought.
LOL, "your president". Yeah, he was only ever president to a small section of the country. And they still insist on calling DonOLD "President Trump".
You mean the weird, felon/rapist DonOLD, that one? The guy who lies so fast that the media gives up on fact checking him? The fat old fart who wears diapers, lifts in his shoes, orange makeup, implanted hair and stick on eyebrows? The bone spurs draft dodger coward who insults and disparages military veterans - that one?
Keep insulting him, it keeps him completely off topic, and when his handlers make him "stay on policy" is he low energy and whines about it the whole time.
The Democrats entire strategy should be to keep trump pissed so he can't focus.
Yeah they need to keep him on the ropes
I havent seen the Huffington Post website in years. Clicked on this to see the video. About 20 seconds of the video, 30 seconds of ads, another 20 second clip. More ads.
At least the article isnt paywalled. Ill give them that.
What I hate is when news sites have an embedded video that has absolutely nothing do to with the article
And it pops over what you're reading as you scroll. News sites are seriously unreadable without adblock, and only barely readable with it. As much as I don't want to just read headlines, it's a pain in the ass to do anything else.
Glad the Obamas have done that.
"Do I still have to stick to policy?” wtf? ONLY policy he has ever stuck to is to smear his opponents characters, physical appearances, and intellect. Sleazy fuck cant take it.
You forgot the policy of "blame everything on immigrants".
Oh wait, that's not a policy, never mind.
I just don't care about this framing. I want him to fail in all his political endeavors, I think he would be particularly dangerous if re-elected, and also, I never met the guy and I don't care if he has a certain feeling or another. He's personally pissed off? Ok, fine. I don't care.
Birther fuck face deserves every insult lobbed at him.
................Was. So was Michelle. Past tense you goddamn fucking imbecil.
The little poll is overwhelmingly in favor of making personal attacks on Obama because all Trumpanzees are racists who want to see a schoolyard bully mock the people they hate. They don't care about policy.
That's definitely a shame, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy /s
What an old and weird response
