Even as satire, you do him a grave disservice to imply that he would have taken credit for the job well done by that seal team.

no big deal, don't overreact, but it is a gross distortion of Obama's handling of the aftermath of the event.

trump continually bragging about "acing" a test where the only result is a bad one, where he couldn't pass, whereas Obama ordered the risky but successful bin Laden raid, yet never crowed personally about it. In fact never made it a cornerstone of his reelection campaign, even though he could have, as it happened in his first term.

Imagine a republican president who ordered the bin Laden raid. Think that president would ever stop chest puffing? Any republican prez would have, and trump in particular.

For not using his style to compliment Obama

My style was not good enough for them

Apparently I was actually insulting Obama because I'm too stupid to know the difference
