Obama Destroys Trump After A MAGA Heckler Interrupts Him In Florida


A heckler interrupted Obama who was campaigning for Democrats in Florida, so the former president responded by destroying the mentality and anger incited by Trump.

Obama said, “Hold on a second. There’s an interesting observation I want to make. Why is it that — hold on, hold on, hold on. Why is it — why is it that the folks that won the last election are so mad all the time? It’s an interesting question. I mean, like, when I won the presidency at least my side felt pretty good. You know, I don’t know why — it tells you something interesting. That even the folks who are in charge are still mad. Because they’re getting ginned up to be mad. That’s the mindset.”

Obama dives into the angry right mentality

Former President Obama was correct. Republicans are still angry even though they have won anything, because Trump has one note, and it’s anger. All Trump knows is spreading anger and hate. It is why he has no interest in uniting the country. It is why in times of tragedy he fails so miserably.

Republicans won everything in 2016, so why are they still so mad? Democrats were so happy after Obama won the presidency in 2008 that they got complacent and didn’t show up to vote in 2010. Democrats were so happy with Obama that they rationalized their lack of concern about the fate of Congress as no matter what, at least they had Obama to protect them.

Trump’s Republicans are angry because they are failing. They can feel their brief taste of power slipping away. The old white man who was supposed to turn back the clock and undo progress has flopped.

The MAGA heckler opened the door, and Barack Obama walked right through it to provide some key insight into why hope always beats fear, and voters are going drive that point home to Trump on Tuesday.

1. Please proceed...

He’s a master at simply letting them hang themselves.

5. I honor this man.

I would give everything for this guy. I really mean that. I'm so humbled and impressed. Thank the gods for the gift of Pres Obama.

[friend of m and j]

42. he is the great one

Wouldn't it be great if he was on the ballot.

[onit2day]

36. Republicans are no good at governing, only complaining. They've tripled the debt

Robbed the treasury while degrading health care.

[lastlib]

39. They don't WANT to govern; they want to RULE.

they want to protect their plunder.

I've often asked, "What is it that conservatives want to conserve?" That question has been answered, if silently. They want to conserve wealth for the wealthy; power for the powerful; comfort for the comfortable; poverty for the poor; and affliction for the afflicted.

[friend of m and j]

43. well said

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[olegramps]

61. The contrast between Obama and Trump is profound. Trump urged violence, Obama understanding.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Obama also told them...

"I don't understand why those people come to this type of rally. Why doesn't he go to a rally that he supports instead of one that he knows he doesn't agree with. That thinking doesn't make sense". He was even cool calling out the heckler.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

4. Bc they thrive on being assholes and being rude.

'We love liberal tears'....etc. FUCK....THEM.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

6. +1

Look up "COOL" in the dictionary. There's just a picture of Pres Obama. Just smokes these 'effers w educated retort.

[BigmanPigman]

7. He and the fucking moron are 1980 degrees apart when it comes to almost

everything...today it was glaringly obvious that when it comes to temperament Obama, is smooth and can't be rattled. He was making jokes at the W House Correspondents Dinner (the one the moron was offended at over birtherism) at the same time he already had just given the A-OK to go after Bin Laden. He is Mr Cool.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. So true BMPM.

Pres Obama=Someone to look up to and teach your kids to emulate. And red don= the guy you pray your daughter doesnt fall in love with.

[robbob]

13. Correction: tRump

=The guy you pray your daughter isn’t left alone in a room with.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

14. hahaha.

[mainstreetonce]

25. Correction

Trump doesn't care if there are people in the room.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

3. Bugs the HELL out of me that they disrespect him during speeches..

now and when he was president.
Note a story the other day referencing don ivans twitter post...something to the effect that the "People of Pennsylvania respected the office of the president".
Repubs...RESPECT the people who show, and probably taught you, manners. DEMOCRATS.
"YOU LIE!!!" WHo can forget. OMG I wanted to throttle a mutha that day. HATE IT when they interrupt a president speaking. FU gop. Buncha heathens.

[hostalover]

9. I like your style!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

10. TY.

Just speaking my mind. Welcome to DU. Hope you find a home here.

[dameatball]

21. Exactly. That "You lie" moment should have told everyone exactly where the country was headed.

it did me. Also saw it in people being shouted down in the town halls. What was coming was obvious.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

51. The writing was on the wall wasn't it??

GD rude fuckers.

[True Blue American]

46. Nah, just laugh at them

Trump knows good and well no one has any respect for him. Oh,they laugh and shout at his cruel insults because that is their brand of humor. They are as insecure as Trump is.

They need someone to hate because they need that to feel superior. But inside they are not.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

52. "Just laugh at them"?

THE WHOLE WORLD SAW THAT. Theres basic decorum when a true president is speaking. He's black, and exceptionally kind. That's why they yell. They know he won't have them beaten into the ground. They take advantage of kindness. NO MORE MR NICEGUY. The only folks who suffer when we are too nice...is us...and our beloved country. Just laugh indeed. Groan.

[True Blue American]

53. I was referring to Trump

And his crowd.

Obama was an oasis of good,common sense. I watched every minute and love seeing the contrasting clips.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

54. Right on.

Thanks for clarifying. Have a good Saturday.

[True Blue American]

56. For some reason

Seeing President Obama has had a calming effect.

But you have a good weekend,too.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

57. Couldnt agree more.

[Johnyawl]

11. President Obama is right of course, they're being ginned up to be mad...

...because that's all the republicans have to sell: anger, hatred and fear. What are they going to campaign on? "We're going to give tax breaks to the rich, and pay for it with your Social Security", that's not going to sell, even to their crowd. They're getting their ass kicked over health care, so they're lying through their teeth to hang onto power; They've lost the culture wars, you can delay things, but you can't turn back the clock.

They got nothing to sell the average joe but hate, anger and fear. And hopefully next week will prove that there's a limit on the success of that.

[Vinca]

12. I love that guy . . .

[Botany]

18. Me too

n/t

[MontanaMama]

27. Right??

I get lost in the moment when I listen to him speak. Sigh.

[kag]

44. I do too.

It's so nice to listen to someone who actually has a vocabulary of more than a hundred words. And many of them are even multisyllabic . I miss having a president who has eloquence and dignity.

Cheetoh doesn't even know how to form a complete sentence. I don't understand people who intentionally listen to him speak. In our house there's a rule: the instant his voice comes on the tv or radio, first one to the mute button wins.

[True Blue American]

47. Obama handling the heckler was brilliant

His Class is what makes righties so angry. Keep in mind they voted for a B Actor, a 20 year drunk, and now the most ignorant boob of a liar,ever.

[Cha]

58. Classic Obama!

[thegoose]

15. The platform of hate and stupidity

The hate reverberates because they all know in their heart of hearts that Dumpster is Pootie's cockholster. Come on, I mean really.....

[Bigredhunk]

16. Yup

I've been saying this for years. They control every branch of government. Why would they be cranky? When Dems run the show (2008 - 2010) I'm ecstatic.

[ecstatic]

35. Me too! It's why I changed my username when he was elected!

My previous username was quite bitter sounding.

[kag]

45. I LOVE your sig line!

[True Blue American]

48. I never noticed it

Until you mentioned it. The truth in spades.

[Auggie]

17. I love the authenticity he brings

[smirkymonkey]

19. Finally! Somebody said it out loud! It took Obama to say it out loud!

I have been wondering this all along. If they are this furious when they are winning, what are they going to be like when they lose? That is what frightens me a little bit about next week. I hope we win the house, and I think we will, but I am a little bit scared of the backlash.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. This ain't exactly BO's first rodeo in the arena of hate.

This was like a piss ant picking a fight with a tiger.......

[SallyHemmings]

23. I tried not to weep..

I was wrapping up my work week. When I heard the beginning of his speech, I pulled into a parking lot and just listened. When he was done, I felt hope.

Oh how I miss HIM.

[True Blue American]

49. Yes, we finally heard

Sanity again and all the networks showed the whole thing, completely ignored the daily lawn lie fest!

[Power 2 the People]

24. I miss you Mr. President.

[YOHABLO]

26. Anger is a good motivator. Democrats should be angry. That's why we have to vote.

Change is coming, but how many more lives must we lose to gun violence by RW 'crazies' and ignorant cops?

[ecstatic]

37. When I voted on 10/16,

I was furious over Brian Kemp and his voter suppression efforts! I could feel myself clenching and scowling during the moments when I was not interacting with anyone. And then I was even madder about the fact that I had to feel that way when voting.

[Cracklin Charlie]

28. Kick

[TwistOneUp]

29. "The old white man who was supposed to turn back the clock and undo progress has flopped. "

Some old white men men have driven my soul to the worst pits of self-loathing and depression possible. The tormentors were religion-driven. These are, IMHO, the ones that want to undo progress.

We must move forward. Always forward.

Regime change is never easy, and many times results in violence. I am a person of peace and logic and would like to see this "phase" america is going through complete peacefully - whatever the result - but I am afraid the GOP has other plans. Hence the feason the GOP refuses to give up their bump stocks, machine gun collections, et al. They actually think they can overturn the government. I am concerned blood will be spilled.

Vote. Please.

[LyndaG]

30. Sooo True

I notice this on message boards. Most of the Trump supporters have a foul attitude and don't seem happy. Hopefully, come Tuesday they'll have plenty to be sad about !!!!!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

31. My theory is that their underwear is too tight.

And they LIKE it that way!

[True Blue American]

55. Or is it the

Stick up, oh well, you get my point!

[tymorial]

32. They were angry when they voted for trump and he promised them the world

The people with real problems could not be helped. People like the coal miners who demand their mines reopen. The kindest thing that could have been done for them was what Clinton did when she was honest, it's not coming back. The closed down factories that have been moved offshore are not coming back anytime soon. The small towns where 50% of the population (or more) were employed by a single factory or mill are dying and are unlikely to survive. The Republicans tapped into this frustration and anger by telling these men and women that if they voted republican they would get everything back. It was a lie, a wooden nickel. There was never an intention to follow through because what they wanted was impossible; better to exploit the desperation and secure votes. Stage 2 was laying blame to the media, the Democrats and immigration as a way to stoke anger and attempt to secure this election and all future elections.

I totally understand what Obama is saying and I am not criticizing him. For many the anger is a result of manipulation. The rest are racist bigots who will never be satisfied even if the Republicans managed to win every single seat in the legislature and on the courts. Even if they managed to carve out a bunch of states where only white heterosexual evangelicals were 100% of the population, they would still be angry. It's all they know.

We will never reach the latter. They need to die off. Sadly, I don't know if we will ever reach the former as they too may die off. I sincerely hope that isn't the case because I do believe there are decent men and women who have double downed on Republican support out of despair. I know some, they are my in laws from Maine. Often it's easier to believe lies than accept they have been duped. I am heartened by many of the stories I have read on here of family and friends who were steadfast Republicans but have decided to back Democratic candidates in this election and hopefully future.

[elocs]

34. MAGA: "Make America Great AGAIN". What kind of patriot doesn't believe America is great NOW?.

Trump motivates his followers (politicians have supporters, cult leaders have followers) with hate and fear and they live to serve him.

[gilligan]

38. Republicans

No policies. They do not give a FUCK about people

I love the tip of the hat smilie.
✌AND love to all on DU

[Doreen]

40. I want our first family back!!!

[GETPLANING]

41. Republicans are sore losers, even worse winners.

It must really suck to be so pessimistic

[True Blue American]

50. I once said about a family member

,” She is not happy unless she is angry.”

That describes Republicans. Anger feeds them.

[Stuart G]

59. Outstanding, thanks for posting this...k and r

[Dave Starsky]

60. This is how a strong grownup handles pressure and criticism.

And not a 12-year-old boy cowering and Tweeting in a fat old man's body.

[saidsimplesimon]

62. Former President Obama

is one of the best public speakers, if not the best, in my lifetime. He is also brilliant and a wonderful example for all of US.

[LiberalLovinLug]

63. He's so right. Don't we all miss the positive energy in the country?

The whole mood of the country was so fantastic, so positive, after Nov. 2008. Sure some of that dampened, mostly caused by the GOPs relentless stonewalling of Obama's bills. And growing frustration with just how much Obama was being taken advantage of by duplicitous Republicans.

Of course there was anger, intense anger, but it was always this crazy minority that we had grown to live with. The latest at the time being the tea party. Now we have the Trump party.

But overall, the nation was 'happy'. Comedians were joking about other things in life. Celebreties, and musicians were seen contributing to great causes..other than politics. Life is always hard, some harder than others, but there was not this black cloud of dread.

Nothing illustrates the divide in energy more than comparing the two conventions before the '16 election. One looked dark, ominous, and was filled with speaker after speaker leading chants of "lock her up!" and spewing hate, fake accusations, ridicule, and of course fear fear fear. Conversely, the DNC was so uplifting. Even though, unfortunately, this strategy may not work today, who can forget Michelle's "When they go low, we go high". It was a celebration of positive liberal minded energy in one room. It wasn't about tearing down the GOP as much as it was about hope for the future.

They are perpetually angry. They are brainwashed into being on edge and pissed off all the time. Frankly it must be draining. Its almost as if they were/are envious of that demeanor, that Democrat voters just want to live in peace. So now they have succeeded in making all of us on the other side also perpetually pissed off. "Good for you!" (said in the sarcastic voice of Christian Bale in that viral set recording) Remember when we didn't even hear from the President in the news for ....gasp.....days at a time. Life was 'normal'.

I just want normal again.

64. K&R, thanks for posting

And thank you, Mr. President, for being one of the greatest Democratic leaders of all time.
