Obama Is Trolling Trumps Inauguration So Hard By Booking A-Listers To His Goodbye Party

One of the few positive stories since the travesty that occurred on Election Day has been President-Elect Donald Trump’s complete inability to attract any A-list talent to his Presidential inauguration.

For someone who prides himself on how flashy he is, this must be a particularly insulting turn of events for the notoriously thin-skinned Trump. Barack Obama, meanwhile, decided to get under Trump’s skin by throwing himself a star-studded goodbye bash.

After getting completely shut out by every A through C list celebrity across the globe (aside from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a runner-up from America’s Got Talent), Trump decided that he has sour grapes and lashed out at the cruel world with a truly pathetic tweet. Said Trump, “‘The so-called “A” list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!” Trump is, of course, clearly lying.

Obama, on the other hand, doesn’t have grovel in vain for celebrity support. He is currently planning his last White House Party, and the Washington Post has reported that it is shaping up to be bursting at the seams with A-listers. The rumored guest list, which has yet to be confirmed and published, includes: George Lucas, Jay-Z, Bradley Cooper, Samuel L. Jackson, J.J. Abrams, Oprah Winfrey, Usher and Stevie Wonder. How jealous do you think Donald Trump is right now?

http://liberalplug.com/2017/01/05/obama-trolling-trumps-inauguration-hard-booking-listers-goodbye-party-details/



President Barack Obama will reportedly close out his second term with what’s being described as a “grown-up” party, set to be hosted at the White House on Jan. 6 with a star-studded guest list that’s rumored to include Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Eddie Vedder and many others.

The Washington Post reports that, per this administration’s tradition, the Obamas will foot the bill for the party themselves — and those who don’t make the “close friends and major donors” cut described by NME shouldn’t plan on seeing any cellphone footage, as personal communication devices will reportedly be confiscated at the door.

After all, he alone can save us, remember? The earth may revolve around the sun, but the sun revolves around The Donald. According to him, anyway.

He forgets that the President is a PUBLIC SERVANT. NOT any kind of "monarchy."

OTOH, Don the con has been tantruming for several weeks because, though he was awarded the Presidency by the electoral college (remember, he is in actuality a Loooooooser, by 3 million votes) he "don't get no respect."

He's being treated like the fool, buffoon, liar and cheat that he is and he's NOT happy. "Sad."

IOW, "He don't get no respect." LOLOLOLOL! And he never will.

Instead he is reviled for what he is; a cheat, phony, liar, misogynistic vulgarian, stupid, petty little man who can't think his way out of a wet paper bag. He's scum.

He will be treated like a fool by world leaders as well, and he knows it. He's no Obama, and never will be.

Whatever their wealth he and his father were always excluded from the ranks of the truly elite because they're trash and it eats him up inside. I think that is what motivated his running for President in the first place, I think that is when he engineered his current persona to that end.

Simple. Donald Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist. He acts like a baby most days. Maybe a teenager on a good day.

Trump's rejection by the cool kids is most assuredly driving him crazy. To know that the cool kids prefer Obama is like a dagger to the heart.

Expect to see much more fulmination on Twitter regarding these competing parties even though Trump "doesn't really care".

Sure you don't, Fake President.

he is getting totally dissed by the A-List entertainers. This is a guy who has never been granted a seat at the cool kids table (uber wealthy NYC crowd). He aslo has a deep seated fear of being publicly humiiated. He will have to learn the hard way that becoming President of the US does not automatically grant him a seat at the cool kids table. He will just continue to be humilated over and over and over again. I imagine that other foreign governments will be having a lot of backroom meetings to discuss how to deal with Trump and they may limit just what information they provide the US during Trump's reign. Realisitcally, it will be in their best interests to shut out the US as much as possible because Trump is too much of a loose canon.
