Obama has had enough of Trump nonsense. Like other Presidents when he left office Obama kept a pretty low profile and even as a new President of another Party would trash the former one or undo his work, Obama held his tongue except at nominating conventions. Trump of course broke that tradition when forced to leave the WH. He probably figured, and with some justification Obama (especially Obama being a Democrat) would do what he and Republicans do. Well, at a couple of campaign stops late last week Obama gave Trump a double dose of WH Correspondent’s Dinner mocking. Trump of course had a meltdown over Obama making fun of him again.
Former President Obama clearly is out of f**ks to give at this point. He’s pretty much declared a trash-talk war. My money is on Obama to leave Trump crying and bleeding on the canvas of that dumbass UFC arena he build on the WH lawn last summer. This is one of those times when I will just shut up and let someone far smarter, articulate and charismatic than I am do the talking. He made similar comments both in Ohio and Michigan.
Obama starts out with sharp criticism of Trump and the BBB tax cuts for the rich, and contrasts their records on the border. Trump of course would be pissed and respond with the normal bullshit. But then about two minutes in the clip I’ll show Obama hit Trumpty-Dumpty in a place that was bound to hurt – as in Stormy Daniels describing his “junk” and being a “minuteman” hurt. Obama brazenly mocked Trump’s taste/style or rather lack thereof:
Wow! That’s a Muhammed Ali level combination of punches. ‘Should be on HGTV.’Â (Mockingly) ‘Building a ballroom bigger than the White House.’ ‘There’s gold everywhere, what’s up with the gold?’ It made me think of an old blaxpoitation (fut funny) movie, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka where the guy come home to the hood after the Army to learn his brother June Bug had died of a gold addiction obtained while working for Mr. Big. I’m not the greatest with photoshop but I couldn’t resist putting Trump’s head on a picture of June Bug. But I digress. Given how Trump ALWAYS uses Obama’s middle name Hussein to make it seem like he’s the black twin of Saddam Hussein Obama flipped that back in Trump’s fat, ugly orange face with:
“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory!”
Obama went back to razor sharp criticism, noting Trump’s using the Presidency to enrich himself and the outright, open grift that we all see going on. Without using her name he cited Guilfoyle trying to extort a donor to pay off a 100k credit card bill. And a Venezuelan billionaire wanting a pardon that arranged a $50 million gig for Trump attorney Alina Habba – and getting his pardon. Obama was in great form so he took another openly mocking shot using the fiasco at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
“Remember that old thing about ‘drain the swamp?’ The only thing that got drained was the Reflecting Pool in the National Mall after some no-bid contract got it all messed up and then they tried to blame a three time Olympian and say he vandalized it…”
Well, just like Obama knew it would THAT, along with making fun of Trump’s gold fetish cause Trump to go batshit insane. I won’t bore you with Trump’s post on his little (these days down to about the size of his (cough cough) hands Truth Social site. The thing is, Obama wasn’t done. As I said he’s decided to take off the gloves and that meant Trump’s people are now going to have to take a beating. Starting with self-professed warrior of warrior Pentagon Petey Boy Hegseth. Yep, Obama spent some time mocking Petey Boy too. First Obama laid out simple points on how stupid everything about the Iran war Trump and Petey Boy started has been. And continues to be. The, just as when he made a point of openly mocking Trump at about the 1:50 mark of this video he rips Hegseth a new one:
I mentioned earlier but want to emphasize that Obama made these comments in different, and critical states. Ohio and Michigan but some of those quips Obama leveled are going to be talked about by pundits, and therefore voters too right through election day.
I can’t express how thrilled I am that we finally have Obama rhetorically slapping Trump and Trumpism upside the head. I’m betting Republicans are horrified this weekend. When Trump broke the unspoken rule about fading away once leaving office they smugly assumed no former Democratic President would do it. Bill Clinton got in a quick jab of his own but this? Obama is the last person they want out there day in and day opening can after can of whupass on Trump. And worse on them for not standing up to Trump. I wish like hell I had money to buy stock because popcorn futures are headed up!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Keep it up. It ticks 47 off. Maybe his head will explode?!!
