It is not just his petty refusal to unveil President Barack Hussein Obama's official WH portrait. He is refusing to unveil our First Black Presidents portrait.
Think about that for a minute.

claiming that a man born in america to an american mother isn't american just because his father is black. ffs. he's been obviously racist he whole political life, and i'm not even talking about his earlier life as a "businessman".

(83,637 posts)However I am still upset by this. He is suppose to be the president of all the people. Far more Americans voted for Obama than trump. By refusing to have it unveiled and displayed in a place of honor is not just a slight on Obama, it is a slap in the face to all of us that voted for him.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,584 posts)All of the previous presidents have been able to swallow any personal animosity and behave like grownups for these ceremonies because they aren't supposed to be about them personally, but the presidency. But for His Lardship everything is personal, and he is simply unable to stop hating for long enough to even pretend to be civil and decent.

But we can rest assured that President Obamas speeches to the graduating Seniors and his admonition to everyone to vote cut him to the quick. So much so that like a brat he thinks hes getting even by displaying his racism in an act of petulant rage.
Does he think this somehow hurts Obamas feelings? Or that anyone is admiring him other that the people he hates the most, who are his base? We can rest assured that their love for him makes him and everyone elses hate for him twist his gut. When the disgusting rejects of the world make you their king it doesnt make you look better than them. Especially when the rest of us see you as a pile of dog shit we must be careful not to step in.

I am delighted to see this postponed. I think a ceremony by President Biden will be more apt.
I can foresee a White House presidential gallery with Dumbass's portrait permanently covered, hidden from view, as this will mark one of the lowest points in our history.

(9,958 posts)In January 2021, Joe Biden can hold a wonderful unveiling ceremony. Who better to honor and acknowledge one of our best presidents ever and someone who is a friend. That will be a fabulous celebration to see! Let Trump stew in his pettiness. He is the one seen lacking.

He is truly the worst person in the world.
He's what happens when all of the most toxic traits of humanity are put together in one individual.
What really bothers him is the contrast. President Obama is a better man than he is in every way and it makes him angry (mild phrase there).
