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 Trumps 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 Americas 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, doesnt 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?

The Washington Post reports that, per this administrations tradition, the Obamas will foot the bill for the party themselves and those who dont make the close friends and major donors cut described by NME shouldnt plan on seeing any cellphone footage, as personal communication devices will reportedly be confiscated at the door.

His inauguration committee might be frustrated butTrump could not care less.

(22,165 posts)My post questioned the assertion that tRump didn't care ....?
The man cannot handle any perceived slight or criticism which is why I questioned the opinion that he did not care

(8,000 posts)I think he really, really cares. But he'll try to make it seem like they're all "losers" in comparison to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

(81,240 posts)He needs everybody - and I mean EVERYBODY - fawning over him and kissing his feet and worshipping and stroking him all the time about how wonderful and virile and winning he is. 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."

calimary
(81,240 posts)I love it, too! I hope it gets TONS of coverage. As glittering a star-studded bash as this promises to be, I'd suspect it's kinda unavoidable.
But hey, The Donald always has Ted Nugent and Scott Baio, and that "Duck Dynasty" guy.
He freaks out about any type of diss and anyone who has turned down his party will pay - one way or another.
This is exactly the kind of stuff he thinks about.. he doesn't give a damn about the work involved to be president. Just the sideshow associated with it.
All anyone has to do is look at his twitter to see this.

(10,168 posts)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."
Phoenix61
(17,003 posts)He cares. He may not be jealous but he cares. Narcissists do not cope well with perceived slights, especially high visibility ones. Perceived is the key part. A healthy adult would look at it exactly as you say but Trump is definitely not a healthy adult.
Greybnk48
(10,168 posts)But Don the con is not any of that. He's been tantruming about this for weeks! Even though the electoral college awarded him the Presidency, (which he actually lost to a woman by 3 million votes) he's perceived as a Loooooooooser by the people he most wants to like him.
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.
Sen. Walter Sobchak
(8,692 posts)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.
JadedButHopeful
(11 posts)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.

So yeah, he's sick with jealousy over this.

(115,686 posts)and show business and the ability to attract A-list celebrities and other "important" people. His ego feeds off the attention and approval of A-listers. The fact that Obama can easily attract them while nobody who's anybody wants to be a part of Trump's ignorguation must really burn his wrinkly orange ass.

HopeAgain
(4,407 posts)Trump is jealous of somebody else doing his crap show "The Apprentice." Of course he cares, he is a narcissistic egoist that thinks EVERYTHING should make him look good, and if it doesn't he takes it personally.
The man who lives and dies by adoration, who has been unable to gain the adoration (or even tolerance) of big name performers doesn't care? Who is still, nearly 2 months after the election, so insecure about his win that he is constantly talking about how big his win was?
You think he's not jealous?
You're watching a very different Trump than I am.

avebury
(10,952 posts)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.
