Why the obsession on Trump's part with besting Obama in the approval ratings?

[Different Drummer]

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump 9 hours ago

The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!

Trump has to work hard to even keep up.

OK. But just for Father's Day:

[tblue37]

28. ???Obama was NOT the worst president!!

[nini]

30. What?

what are you trying to say here? Obama was the worst ever? WTF?

[Motownman78]

40. Worst ever according to Trump.

He is too stupid how it makes him look that he is "barely" higher in the polls than the "worst president in history" according to the dumpster fire.

[nini]

42. Thanks

2. Teeeeny weenie syndrome

[Chasstev365]

5. BIGLY! 😁

[ProudMNDemocrat]

25. Good response......

[underpants]

3. I think his whole deal is making himself feel superior

Whether it's Hillary or Obama. People have said that Obama created this with his mocking smack talk at the correspondent's dinner but we know Trump already had engaged in his run. BUT he was publicly humiliated and he holds grudges. Oh he holds grudges.

[GoCubsGo]

11. Yep.

He has got to be the most petty, vindictive person I have ever seen. But, I am sure racism factors into his grudge against Obama, as well.

[underpants]

27. Definitely racist.

[Blue_Roses]

43. He was insulting to President Obama

before the correspondence dinner, with all that birther shit. There are tweets of Trump trashing Obama's presidency before Trump decided to run. I wondered then what was his obsession with O. Jealousy. Pure jealousy.

[Salviati]

4. He is a profoundly insecure little man.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. do you not know any narcissists? people with borderline personality disorder?

all trumper is doing is being true to type. utterly predictable. he should be no where near the white house - or any place of power or decisions.

[Grammy23]

17. Absolutely predictable! Textbook case. And for those that don't know....

He is quite apt to get worse as pressure builds and he feels the heat descend on his presidency. I don't believe for one second he truly wanted the job. This was all about his ego and showing off what he could achieve---by hook or by crook. He did not care what it took. "Just get me the title." It is obvious he did nothing to prepare for the job and it shows. In his mind, it was going to be all ceremonial duties, signing statements and state dinners. His plan was to farm the real work out to minions and family, while he signed things, posed for pictures and plotted how to get in more golf.

The problem was he miscalculated the depth of the job and those pesky things called ethics and laws. He was already up to his neck with the Russians before he ever took office and now he is looking at serious obstruction of justice charges trying to stop the Russian investigation. Me thinks he bit off more than he can chew this time. So why don't we just sit back and watch the story unfold. I don't think tRump is going to like this one even a little bit and, if he plays true to form, is VERY likely to make matters even worse before it is over.

7. He is having nightmares similar to Ebenezer Scrooge

Obama is his Xmas past & present

23. And, future!

8. We now have the evidence our country needed to

prove this Sorry SOB is all about smashing Obama 15 times harder than he was teased. Time for this POS to go.

[leftstreet]

9. He will spout his 'accomplishments' on his way to jail n/t

[shraby]

10. The Correspondents dinner marked his soul when Obama made fun of him.

[avebury]

31. Trump has had a long standing fear of being humiliated and President

Obama poked fun at Trump at the Correspondents Dinner. Trump believes in revenge bigly and he has had it in for President Obama ever since. It has to totally kill him that President Obama is so much more loved and respected within the US and around the world then Trump ever will be. Also it has to kill Trump that President Obama pretty much ignores Trump and treat him like he doesn't even exist. There is nothing that Trump can do that will ever make President Obama react like Trump does on a daily basis.

[treestar]

37. Which is not supposed to be taken seriously

Donald has no sense of humor. He can't deal with being roasted. Most public people can.

[NastyRiffraff]

38. He should be regularly mocked

He HATES it, even more than he hates criticism. He has to be constantly reassured that he's NUMBER ONE aka that sickening Cabinet meeting display. We need to constantly make fun of him.

[Mr. Ected]

12. It energizes and consolidates his base

No matter how bad he fucks up or fails to accomplish what he promised them, they are all united in their hatred of all things liberal, including the King of Cool, PBO.

[JHB]

13. Because Obama made fun of him in public at a dinner...

...and no slight is too small for Prima Donnie to endlessly obsess over it.

[Maeve]

18. particularly because he has this sneaking suspicion that

he really IS inferior to Obama! (one of the few things he's right about!)

[Cha]

22. President Obama was calling him on his Birther LIES

cheato can't handle being called on his LIES.

[YCHDT]

14. IKR !?!!? This is some cartoon level Obama HaterAide

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. He's letting Obama live rent-free in his head.

He just can't accept the fact that the black guy who mocked him at the WHC dinner was more popular and got more votes and more people at his inauguration.

[loyalsister]

16. Because he's the personification of the ugly American

nt

[Cha]

19. That says everything about rasmussen.. cheato's an Idiot

39. +1000

Disgusting pig!

[imanamerican63]

20. Obama was in the White House for 8 years......

and Trumputin's approval rating will never get as good as Obama's 8 year average. Trumputin could drop into the 20's or even lower by the of his first year, if he should last that long?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Even in the flawed and cherry picked (R)asmussen Poll O was at 62 on 1/20/17 and 55 on 6/18/09

[Shrike47]

24. But in June 2013, he was under 50 percent in Rasmussen. If you pick the right month...

Poor Donnie Two Scoops is pathetic.

[SHRED]

26. Because Obama is black.

[left-of-center2012]

29. "Because Obama is black"

And the Donald is orange.

[SHRED]

33. LOL

[L. Coyote]

34. Orange is the new black:

[SHRED]

36. He has had envy for a while now

[WhiteTara]

32. Because he hates that a BLACK man is a better

man than he will ever be. Of course, his bigoted heart and mind can not stand that. He is a pathetic little creature that needs constant stroking of his fragile white male ego.
