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.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Just something about Obama that uniquely gets under his skin, and I love to see it.
It's mainly his skin color.
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"
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.
Thanks Obama! (I mean it this time, really!)
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.
My dude, don't tell me you're browsing the internet without an adblocker!
Don't kink shame. Some people prefer to raw dog the Internet.
Do you want to get chlamydia.exe?? Because that's how you get chlamydia.exe
By all means, don't skip that ad. Relish in it.
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.
That's definitely a shame, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy /s
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.
Dish meet take
?
He can dish it but not take it
That's not how you say that tho lol
That's not how you say that
Geez.
I KNEW I shouldn't have bought that knockoff writer's handbook off temu!
(It's the Internet. I'll play with words on a meaningless and anonymous platform with no business or academic standards any damn way I please)
What an old and weird response
