Charles M. Blow: "Trumps Obama Obsession."

Barack Obama stalks the empty corridors of Donald Trump’s stunted brain as the personification of everything that Trump wishes he were but is decidedly not. Casually self assured. Innately intelligent and intellectually curious. Cultured and elegant. Married to woman who loves him. Assured of a place in history rather than banished to the rogues gallery of infamy.

Or as Charles M. Blow puts it:

“Trump wants to be Obama — held in high esteem. But, alas, Trump is Trump, and that is now and has always been trashy. Trump accrued financial wealth, but he never accrued cultural capital, at least not among the people from whom he most wanted it.”
