Trump is a fucking racist of which there can be no doubt.

(18,837 posts)It's one of those times when a "sarcasm smiley" description of what Trump is thinking is probably a 100% accurate description of what Trump is thinking. If you don't want them renting apartments in your building, you sure as hell have to prove that you're better than them when you make it to the Oval Office.
Trump is one sick son of a bitch. I keep waiting for someone to yell "APRIL FOOLS," but it's July...you know?

Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)to have to even ASK that question? Look at tRump and President Obama side by side. One is elegant, gentlemanly, handsome, commands respect, ready with a smile, excellent with kids. The other is tRump. Fat, three chins, strange orangy color, weird hair style, blowhard, dumb as a stump. Now, I wonder why that orange mistake would be jealous of President Obama? Also, one won by large margins, is still much more popular, can go anywhere in the world to a huge welcome. Wow, the list goes on and on.

(41,959 posts)The Orange Menace is more aware than any of us that he's not fit for the job and that most of the country and the world are on to him. He also knows how, with the racist exception, universally loved and respected President Obama is.
MyOwnPeace
(16,925 posts)I do NOT believe the Orange Cheat-o has a clue about how unfit he is for the job.
I do agree that he knows how beloved President Obama is - by some - but it is NOT universal. There is still a bunch of racist/haters out there that will NEVER acknowledge how great a leader President Obama was in service to the United States of America!

Motley13
(3,867 posts)the black enters into it but I don't think that is LOSER's main problem with prez Obama. It is more of a matter of respect.
LOSER is the Rodney Dangerfield, he don't get no respect.
LOSER can't get over the correspondents dinner where O got even for putz questioning his birth.
LOSER never forgets a slight, its been 25 years since a journalist called him a stubby fingered vulgarian & it still gets to him.
So belittle this moron in any way you can, he remembers.

(16,925 posts)He DOES remember - well, at least, something!

(63,221 posts)Something that Trump will never be. It eats away at him every day. He can't come close to Obama.
AgadorSparticus
(7,963 posts)It contradicts his white supremacist tendencies which fills up his core being. When people's reality is being challenged, they get angry and lash out stupidly. Ugh. 45 is having a hard time reconciling his reality to the painful one around him. And lucky us. We get to witness this in high def.
Corvo Bianco
(1,148 posts)That they do. Last week dad told sis to fuck off for talking about racism.
Trump launches an assanine POC detector cause he lost to Hillary.
How do we herd these beasts
AgadorSparticus
(7,963 posts)In order to embark on something new. We just keep to the fight. Resist. And then resist some more. Maybe one of these days he will break. I can only hope anyways. But I truly believe that most people do not subscribe to his hate and rhetoric. It makes for good tv.
My other hope is that he will become such a liability thay the gop will step in and put a stop to this. They already had to spend $19 million for Handler. And that was supposed to be a shoe in. I know they are big bucks. But midterms will cost them plenty. You can bank on that!
That drag has got to breed some resentment.
Corvo Bianco
(1,148 posts)I'll keep hope for that since disgracing America and selling out Her people didn't work.
AgadorSparticus
(7,963 posts)As they have so far. But the financial liability will just be a deathblow.

(24,149 posts)Not that I'm a fan of Freud, but Trump has SIZE issues, and he's racist. What do white racist men really hate about the stereotypes they believe?
Barack Obama doesn't have tiny little hands.
Barack Obama's crowd sizes were enormous; Trump's were small.
Barack Obama had huge election margins; Trump's popular margin was negative 2.8 million.
Barack Obama was married once; Trump evidently wasn't enough for his first two wives.
Barack Obama had big support from U.S. allies; Trump can barely muster a handshake.
Barack Obama still has an approval rating larger than Donald Trump's.
But what I think REALLY gets him is that a woman won more votes and won all three debates, and he took office because a hostile foreign power inflicted him upon us as an attack. He is the laughing stock of the world, and somewhere deep down, he might know that. Somewhere deep down, he feels a lot of shame.
Just sayin'.

And not perverted. Doesn't seem like the kind of guy who gets off having hookers pee on him, OR grabbing women he's only just met - by their genitals. OR egging his crowds on toward violence (while promising to cover their legal expenses when they do). President Obama never led a crowd in a two-minute hate.
CakeGrrl
(10,611 posts)"perversion" on him and Michelle.
They cling to the ugly conspiracy theories challenging President Obama's sexuality and Michelle's gender orientation.
It has to eat at some of them that Trump is the horrid, actual realization of nearly everything they tried to project on Obama. And they'll try to shrug off whatever else is to be discovered as "fake news", but they can't run from it.
They chose Trump to be the antithesis of President Obama, but they're stuck with shit.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)He's on the 'giving end' ... do you REALLY think his ego would allow him to 'receive'?
I don't ... I'm 100% sure if these vids DO exist, he's completely degrading the woman/women in the video, forcing them to act like they ... uh ... 'really love him SOOO much' ... and I'll leave it at that.

NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I honestly think it goes back to Obama mocking Trump at the White House Correspondent's Dinner several years ago - Trump is getting his revenge on Obama by undoing as much of his legacy as possible
lark
(23,091 posts)Obama had a bigger inauguration crowd
Obama had bigger victories
Obama was loved, respected and ADMIRED by foreign leaders
But the over-riding thing he cares the most about - OBAMA IS BLACK AND ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH MORE THAN HIM - that's what drives him totally batshit crazy.
