Once you get past moral / ethical boundaries of racism coming from the Oval Office, it's also REALLY F*CKING TIRESOME. [View all]

1975 - Trump and his daddy cut a check "without admitting guilt" after getting busted for marking apartment applications from African Americans with a "C" for "COLORED."

1989 - Trump takes out full page ads in the NYT and Newsday calling for the execution of the INNOCENT Central Park 5. Never apologizes, never retracts his "demand."

NONE OF THIS IS "NEW." It's a life-long defect in an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon (oh, also, "it is said that Jeffrey likes them on the young side...thank you for your attention to this matter!&quot

And we know Trump will NEVER get over THIS:

...and, we KNOW the PENALTY for being TRIED and CONVICTED for TREASON, so we KNOW why Trump wants Obama TRIED and CONVICTED for treason.

But this latest thing is SO FUCKING PETTY:

'Out of view': Trump demands Obama portrait be moved to hidden stairwell

Trump has ordered the official White House portrait of former President Barack Obama to be relocated once again — this time to a "hidden" staircase out of view of visitors.

CNN reported on Sunday that Obama's portrait was moved to the Grand Staircase, along with the portraits of former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

"Multiple sources have said that the president is directly involved with nearly everything that is done to the aesthetic of the White House, big or small," CNN noted. "That area is heavily restricted to members of the first family, US Secret Service agents, and a limited number of White House and executive residence staff. It is firmly out of view for any visitor hoping to see the photorealistic Robert McCurdy painting of the former president, a source familiar with the matter confirmed."

The moves were made despite White House protocol, which calls for the portraits of recent presidents to be prominently displayed.
