Trump Aims To Destroy Obama Politically And Personally

[sheshe2]

From the start, Obama was Trump’s political meal ticket.

03/05/2017 03:26 pm ET | Updated 15 minutes ago


At a candidate’s forum in early 2015, then presidential candidate Trump without a blink said, “I don’t know if he loves America.” The “he” Trump referred to was, of course, former President Obama. The slap at Obama was simply the latest in Trump’s by then three-year campaign to vilify, impugn, slander, and harass Obama as not only not an American citizen, but as an illegitimate President. Trump’s ruthless, near obsessive, vendetta of lies against Obama paid big dividends early on. It got him briefly in the hunt for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. That made him a political household name. Three years later, in 2015, it got him to the top of the GOP presidential pack and kept him there during the primaries. It then got him the biggest prize of all, the White House.


Obama from the start was Trump’s political meal ticket. When things got dull or there was a momentary rough patch on the campaign trial, Trump had Obama as his ready-made whipping boy. Nothing has changed. With Democrats screaming for answers about Trump’s relations with Russia and Putin, and even some GOP leaders feeling the heat and making weak soundings about a probe or two here and there, Trump quickly trotted out his Obama meal ticket. This time it’s the ludicrous claim that Obama wiretapped him during the campaign, complete with the demand that Congress investigate Obama. It’s tempting to simply chalk this up as yet another Trump ploy to deflect attention from his Russia connection, and in part it is. But there’s more, much more to this.


Trump’s persistent use of Obama as his foil isn’t just to slander his presidency. It’s to slander him. It isn’t just political, it is personal. The two can’t be separated. Trump repeatedly made clear during the early stages of his campaign that if he got in the White House he’d sign any and every executive order he could to try and halt, gut, or obliterate every initiative that Obama had ever put in place. He’s been as good as his word.


Trump’s assault on Obama’s initiatives normally would have been the end of it. Presidents from an opposing party to varying degrees quickly sign executive orders to roll back some of their predecessor’s initiatives and actions when they take office. However, Trump’s obsessive attacks on Obama have another aim beyond mere personal vindictiveness and deflecting attention from his disastrous administration. It sends the strong signal to his base that he will try and demolish everything that they loathed about Obama; not just his policies, but what he personally stood for.


Obama was an eight-year embarrassment to the chronic Obama haters. He was liberal. He was a Democratic. And most odious to them, he was black. Tea Party demonstrators greeted Obama at many stops during his first two years in office with placards, signs and pictures that depicted him in the most lewd, grotesque and often animal-like characterizations. This went way beyond the bounds of normal political attacks and criticism of a president. It was blatantly personal, and showed the depth of the personal distaste many had for Obama and they were not shy about showing it.

F**K tRump. He is not a big enough man to harm Obama in any shape or form.

[cilla4progress]

1. FUCK HIM

Never hated anyone this much. Wish I could get some perspective.

[sheshe2]

2. I agree with you 100% cilla.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Trumps motto is,

I hit them back ten times more than what they did to me. Think about it for a moment.

[sheshe2]

71. Got it.

[guillaumeb]

4. Recommended.

And Trump's KKKAbinet is filled with current or former KKK members and sympathizers.

The GOP conspired to delegitimize Obama. McConnell, Gingrich, deMint and others were determined to marginalize Obama and prevent him from doing anything. The constant statements that Obama did not understand how Americans feel about things were grounded in pure racism.

[sheshe2]

13. The racist SOB's can't stand the fact...

that Obama...A BLACK MAN... is better and brighter than anyone of them. He out maneuverers them and they can't handle all the egg that they have on their face.

I love reading on other sites that they believe they are WINNING when in fact they are WHINING. Those Conserva-TOTS are amusing.

[guillaumeb]

14. And the Obama family, if they were white, would represent the idealized

American Family that the GOP loves to hold up as an example. A married, Christian family with 2 adorable children.

In contrast to the Trump family of thieves, or the Palin family of jobless drunks.

[sheshe2]

17. Sad, if Obama was white instead of black.... :(

Well we all know they are not Christians.

Real Christians do not murder innocent people by taking away their healthcare.

Real Christians do not take a way a woman's basic prenatal care, because a clinic they go to provides a small number of abortions.

Real Christians do not separate a mother and child at the border because mom came here illegally, yet never committed a crime here.

I could go on...I can't right now.

[guillaumeb]

18. I understand.

There is a funny panda clip on here. Watch it for a few minutes. I guarantee you will like it.

This one

[sheshe2]

20. thanks ;)

It is how I felt when Obama left the WH.

[guillaumeb]

25. What a great observation!!!!

I nearly choked on a piece of chocolate when I read your answer.

Thanks for the choking Obama.

[sheshe2]

72. Ooooh...

Obama and I apologize!

[3catwoman3]

41. Me, too, sheshe. Me, too.

I kept finding myself saying, "Please don't go. Please don't go. PLEASE DON'T GO!!!" Even though there was no way he could stay.

[sheshe2]

46. Me too, 3cat....

[montana_hazeleyes]

50. Yes. Same for me.

We just want to keep him with us.


I despise the racists who have treated our awesome President Obama and his beautiful family the way they have. And especially the decrepit, evil monster who snuck into office.

How dare him to throw this new bull sh!t at him! He's riling up his racist, lowdown worshipers into a higher hatred of President Obama. He is so jealous and wishes he had the real kind of respect and admiration and love so many people have for President Obama.

[sheshe2]

54. He will never have it...never.

He is so jealous and wishes he had the real kind of respect and admiration and love so many people have for President Obama.

Thanks montana~

[GWC58]

68. By endorsing Trump the Christian

Right showed just how full of shit & hypocrisy they are! They continue to demonize a plant that, I assume, their God put here. Yeah, they're so full of shit it's backed up and coming out of their mouth! As for Trump I can't remember a current president dissing his predecessor the way this one does. 😵😖

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. That is all of it, racist little spoiled prick. And he WILL destroy the human race

if necessary to exact his revenge.

[sheshe2]

30. We the REAL people are NOT going to let that happen.

EVER!

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. Problem is he can do it tonight if he wants to. He decides to nuke someone to take

the heat off of his treason, and then one thing leads to another, etc

On climate change he has already sentenced the human race to annihilation.

[sheshe2]

84. Yeah

Well, it is why I get up every morning to check the news to see if he destroyed the world while I was sleeping.

If he does he is worse than anyone believed him to be as he would be killing his own grandchildren. Gotta say, not sure he cares for anyone but himself.

Climate change. Yes I am fully aware what he is trying to destroy...won't matter when he hits the button.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Trump's in over his head

His childish behavior will only harm himself.

[bdamomma]

24. I only hope 45 head

will explode, what a stupid ass he is.

Always looking to blame someone else, this is quite evident.

[TeamPooka]

6. Fuck all trumps. nt

[mountain grammy]

7. Fuck him and his hate filled voters..

an election of hate and it worked. It got me to hate people.

John Fuglesang says hate makes you stupid. I'm not stupid, but, increasingly, I hate. I think of Hitler coming to power and his opponents hated him. Were they stupid? I think we're pretty close to that here and we better turn our hate into action before it's too late.

[mcar]

8. drumpf is a tiny little man baby

He's not fit to darn Obama's socks.

[loyalsister]

9. I doubt it

It wasn't so much his own animosity towards Obama that put him on the national political stage. It was the people who believed what he was saying. I think he's still harnassing hate to maintain his support when he's making decisions that could prove to be unpopular with some of his own voters. I don't think he actually cares enough to hate Obama. He just wants to use the hate of others to turn attention onto himself and the un-presidential character who seems to love being the center of attention and controversy whether it's negative or positive.

[Me.]

10. How's That Working For The Twitter

And how does he like that 80 mil deal the Obamas just made

[sheshe2]

11. Jealous rears it's ugly head.

[Me.]

19. Right?

[sheshe2]

21. Right

[Me.]

22. !

[sheshe2]

26. Backatcha

[Bleacher Creature]

12. Please proceed, Orange Man.

[sheshe2]

15. I know, right?!

Ha....for a man that wants to make America White again....why does he color himself orange?

[Vinca]

16. It must kill him that O just made a $60 million book deal.

[dalton99a]

23. Bingo.

[sheshe2]

31. Bwahahahahahahaha

[Lanius]

34. And that Obama's first SOTU was watched by more people than Chump's

[C_U_L8R]

28. Trump is a joke

A real dope. And he'll probably end up in jail or exiled.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. The grunge on the bottom of the garbage can behind the local burger shack where a fly

just landed which earlier that day sat on a pile of Obama's poo, has more value to society than all trumps and friends combined.

[sheshe2]

42. Well said!

[Lanius]

33. Obama will be remembered for helping the economy recover after a disastrous Republican presidency

and for being a voice of calm and reason in these hyper-partisan times.

OTOH, if things keep going the way they're going, Drumpf is going to be one of the most hated and unaccomplished presidents in history.

[joet67]

35. Yep. Mitch McConnell has been trying to nullify him for eight long years.

He's out for blood. "Root and branch" my ass. F him.

[Lithos]

36. Spoken by the man who had to have hookers

Pee on him in the same bed Obama slept in...

Talk about a disturbing obsession...

He will never be the man Obama is... Not even a shadow of the man...

L-

[sheshe2]

38. DT is one very sick man.

[Lithos]

39. Agreed

I suspect there are a lot of untreated issues here...

L-

[sheshe2]

43. Insainity is one of them.

Poor donnie.

[Solly Mack]

37. K&R

Trump is very obviously jealous of Obama.

[Gothmog]

40. Trump will fail

[virtualobserver]

44. Trump is like an overripe pumpkin trying to hurl himself into a block of granite.....

Obama will barely notice the impact.

[sheshe2]

45. Yes he will...bigly.

He can take the rest of his KKKkabinet down with him.

[malaise]

47. He can't

Let him try

[sheshe2]

49. We can take him malaise.

Let's do it sista!

[NastyRiffraff]

48. May I say yet again

how much I hate the tweeting orangutan and love the Obama family?

A hateful, blowhard bigot vs. an intelligent, kind, classy family? Yeah, no contest.

[sheshe2]

51. Lol....

Watch the vid here...will make you smile, NR.

I told guillaumeb that it was the way I felt when Obama left office.

[NastyRiffraff]

58. The panda vid? It did make me smile

I love pandas. I already miss Bao Bao at the National Zoo. Yes, I wanted to grab Obama by the ankles and not let go!

[sheshe2]

61. Ooopsie....did not give ya the link.

[NastyRiffraff]

63. S'ok, I found it

[Freethinker65]

52. Swing.....and a miss. Swing and a miss. Swing...

[tritsofme]

53. In the end, Obama will likely outlive Trump by more than 30 years.

He will have the opportunity to shape his own legacy in a way that will far outlast this dark four year period.

[Ccarmona]

55. Cheetolini

Never has gotten over the Obama's roasting of him at the Correspondence's Dinner in 2011. He's such a petty individual, I'm sure he still holds a grudge.

[Cha]

56. Well, he's on a fool's errand.. that's not going to happen.

Link to tweet

Thank you for this, she.. As President Obama would say..

"Please Proceed Asshole"

[sheshe2]

59. "Stop Mumbling so much"

You just made me LOL! Thanks Cha!!!!

"Please Proceed Asshole"

[spanone]

57. a snowball's chance in hell...

[Bengus81]

60. ROFLMMFAO!!! Hey Trump....GO FOR IT asshat.............nt

[sheshe2]

62. Ha!

Thanks.

[world wide wally]

64. She speKs the truth.

And that is why America sucks again

[Turbineguy]

65. That's a dangerous and self defeating game.

[janx]

66. Did this contribute to it? Thin skin?

[sheshe2]

67. I am sure it did.

Obama's worst sin???? Presidenting while Black.

[Stinky The Clown]

69. He may aim, but his aim will be worse than most husbands' aim at the bedroom toilet.

[sheshe2]

70. Could be why he sits for hours tweeting...

Easier to hit the bowl with his tiny dick. I am not shitting you....Lol.

[Stinky The Clown]

74. "I am not shitting you"

So to speak!

[sheshe2]

75. Ha...............

Hi Stinky~

[Blue Idaho]

73. Maybe Trump is a world class Machiavellian...

Or perhaps he's an illiterate mercurial spoiled brat that has always had enough money and enough cover so that others could push or pay his disasters away.

I think I'll pick option two.

[GoCubsGo]

76. Good luck with that, you asshole.

He's smarter than you and all of your toadies combined.

[sheshe2]

78. GoCubsGo

[KT2000]

77. this is so true

he will not stop. With the help of Bannon and fake news it will go on and on. Dump's guiding principle is to kill (learned from his father)and anything less is a failure.

[Doodley]

79. Of course Trump hates Obama's guts. Obama is black.

[Blue Owl]

80. Hey Van, he's really getting presidential now

n/t

[JHan]

81. He's obsessed!

[sheshe2]

83. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[democratisphere]

82. Tables need to be turned on drumpf.

See ya!

[niyad]

85. horrified k and r, with deepest thanks for finding this.

[Initech]

86. Trump supporters do not ever get to lecture us on disrespecting the president, ever!

Their attacks on Obama since the beginning have just been brutal. And in office, they've done some irreparable damage to the country, and given us clowns like Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, and Matt Bevin. Fuck them and theit whole damn party!
