as Obama is fit and handsome with a healthy glow, and Trump is fat, out of shape and, well, a sickly orange color. And he can’t do a thing with that hair but dye it and comb it over to make it look fuller.

Obama doesn’t have to deal with messy divorces, prenuptials and nondisclosure agreements. And he doesn’t have to try to hide hush payments to women he has had intimate relations with.

Michelle appears to be a very happy lady and little donnie is frustrated that PBO was at the top of his class, loved by friends and family, smarter, younger, more athletic, and has a happy long marriage.

than jealous. How could the US ever put a black man in the Oval Office?
But I agree that he is jealous of the adoration that the people of the country had and have for Obama.

Sleepy Joe and the one mile foot race, or if his bone spurs are acting up, make it a two mile bike race.

and

Dumb Obama and the live on tv retake of the SAT with grading done live too.


It would forever be "Chicken Don".

Obama clowning the Don at the Correspondents' Dinner probably put him over the edge.

Poor Donald: Twice Barack's size, but only half the man.

In Trump's adolescent mind, Obama was the cool kid at school. He was intelligent, personable, handsome, accomplished, and athletic. Obama could get up in front of an audience and break into song or effortlessly shoot a 3-point basket. Few presidents could deliver a punchline to a joke like Obama and damn it, people genuinely like the guy. Of course, the worst was when Trump was the punchline to the joke.

I've noticed this jealousy among a lot of republican men, the ones who probably had a hard time getting a date in high school. They still harbor a resentment toward the "cool kids" and they overcompensate by accruing money and power, but still in the end, they'll never be quite good enough. In their minds, they are still "losers".

They did everything they could to undermine Obama's credibility. Republicans never could find a really cool, charismatic presidential candidate, that's why in the 1980's, they had to hire an actor to play one. It is no wonder they also hated Bill Clinton and spent years trying to bring him down, by sending people to Arkansas to try to find dirt on him. Republicans are obnoxious winners and truly poor losers.

if he didn't he wouldn't choose to cheat so much. He KNOWS he is basically a loser that can't win any other way.
