It's because Obama continues to kick Donnie's ass-not to mention the majority of the world citizens like Obama and they hate Tubby Donald. It's eating him alive-every word that comes out of the WhiteHouse starts with a diatribe against President Obama. It's so transparent-I'm sure Bannon thinks if he repeats it enough people submit will acquiesce and believe their lies.

His first job ever turns out to baffle him, and he has no clue how to win approval like the last president's.

(11,728 posts)Some people have no internal motivation to do things, to strive, to improve, or to even function unless they have an adversary. Trump seems to be one of those people. He has the perfect foil in President Obama who is everything Trump is not. President Obama is intelligent, articulate, approachable, and he carries himself in a way that is down to earth, yet regal. Trump is classless and vulgar. Not to mention that President Obama is Black, which in Trump's mind makes him automatically inferior.
Trump also constantly runs against and still mentions Hillary Clinton as well. It must be a nightmare for him to be constantly compared to and come up short against a Black man AND to have lost the popular vote to a woman. Without someone to blame, or onto whom project his fear and anger, Trump would be(and probably is) chronically dysthymic.
