White House aides frantic return of Obama is getting 'into Trump's head'

According to a report on the reemergence of former President Barack Obama into the public square after giving a scathing speech attacking Donald Trump, White House insiders are worried that Trump will now become obsessed with going after the former president.

Politico reports that insiders claim Trump “has long complained about the fawning coverage and adulation that he believes Obama has received, even after leaving the White House,” which has been exacerbated by the president’s dismay at the fawning coverage given to the late Sen. John McCain in the past two weeks.

With the adulation lavished on Obama’s speech in Illinois on Friday, where he repeatedly took shots at Trump, saying Trump’s Twitter feed is nothing more than an “electronic versions of bread and circuses,” insiders worry Obama’s return could throw Trump off his game.

“Trump also sees Obama as a much more formidable political opponent than Hillary Clinton, the one he actually beat, and Trump’s allies have privately worried that the 44th president could get in his successor’s head,” Politico reports, adding, “Asked what they had to say about Obama’s attacks on Trump — coming at the end of a head-exploding week in the middle of the darkest period of his presidency so far — multiple Trump White House aides and people close to him said they didn’t want to get into it, letting the president’s words speak for themselves.”

.... Team trDump is afraid that Obama's push back will knock trDump on his ass and he will not permit trDump to get up off the floor until Obama has wrestled both the Senate and the House from trDump's death grip and Despotic control.

Then with Dems in the majority of both Houses of Congress real checks and balances against this conman and his criminal syndicate can commence in earnest.

That Obama's return to the spotlight will be the thing that will drive him over the edge, to the point where he will do something so bad that the GOP will have no choice but to remove him from office. He will obsess over Obama and forget everything else but putting this "uppity Negra" in his place...

Don's petty little act has been to try to drag Obama down to his level and erase his legacy. With Obama back in action, his worst fears have come true..

Here's the actual article:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/07/obama-trump-speech-2018-811257

Note that Raw Story puts its own writer's name in the byline, even though the piece was not written by that person and was in actuality lifted from Politico.

Andrew Restuccia and Edward-Isaac Dovere are the reporters who should be credited for this piece, not Tom Boggioni.

So many things

All this enrages dumdum-- PLUS Obama and Michelle are like honeymooners after all their years of marriage.
Beautiful to behold.

And, of course, dumdum has NO qualities I can think of. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
He's a thoroughly despicable human being

Sat Sep 8, 2018, 04:21 PM
Sep 2018

So many of his quotes, remarks, or tweets ( crazier than acknowledged so far) are entirely unworthy of any public official, let alone a head of state. I can't believe it's getting to be more than three years that some of the nation has swallowed this crap, and all but the supposed "far left" pundits have given it a pass. The man is a sociopath who may also becoming senile; the Electoral College was supposedly designed to ferret out such dangers to the nation. It was bad enough that Al Gore "lost" to Dubya Bush, although getting some half a million more votes: nearly three million more votes...ignored due to the Electoral College is TRULY insane. This is NOT a democracy.

There isn't a minute Obama doesn't occupy the dotard's thoughts. Because all the money, all the lies, all the bluster in the world can't buy 45 what Obama has: brains, class, wit, charm, good looks, and the deep love, affection and true respect of MILLIONS all over the world. The only people that love 45 are the nitwit, racist low-lifes in their MAGA hats and camo Crocs. He wouldn't be caught dead with them in public if he didn't need them so bad. His family only loves his money. And the rest of his "supporters" are only using them for their own gain. The don't love him, they certainly don't respect him. They probably laugh at him constantly when they're not grossed out by his boorishness.

83. Trump has long complained

"about the fawning coverage and adulation that he believes Obama has received"

It's called, RESPECT for someone who was worthy of the office of President of the United States. And yes, love of a man who cares about his country and its people. Who cares about the world and the planet. Trump is incapable of understanding any of those things, so he rages against a man who is clearly his superior in every way. Oh, yes, and he's Black!!

people have a tendency to dislike lying, cheating, thieving assholes. You never learned - in your 72 years on earth - that people like people who are likeable, and who treat them with respect and dignity. Bullies aren't well liked, and you, Donald, are a loud mouthed bully. If you hadn't been born into wealth you'd be a poor asshole, instead of someone who inherited their wealth and is still an asshole.

Oh, and by the way Donald, fuck you!

I would not be shocked that if the orange maggot got even more power he would start arresting Obama, Hillary and all his political enemies. I could see him going down the path of His idol Putin.
