I still believe this is the real reason Trump is running [View all]

He was humiliated in public and could not respond at the time and had to deal with something that he simply couldn't deal with.

Just watch how stone faced he is about 3 1/2 minutes in as the camera keeps cutting to him. This is a man that holds a grudge. Which is why as he takes his swipes at Hillary, he's also hitting Obama as hard as he can in some really weird ways.

Edited to add Meyer's piece, which is hilariously brutal.
