Makes sense since Obama’s already living rent free in the top floor of tRump’s tower.

To be fair, it’s not that exclusive, more like part of a timeshare that Hillary uses most of the year.

And when a female beats him in the next election. Double-whammy. Just think, all the news media will have to write, “Beat by a woman.” Oh, how sweet that would be.

I didn’t say the whole floor. It’s mostly vacant anyways.

World class trolling. :smile:

Nicest person ever or nicest nice person ever?

 

But unfortunately for Rowan, the honoree of a street name needs to be dead for at least two years. “These laws are arbitrary and can be worked around,” she told Newsweek.

This, however, is worrisome. She sounds a bit like Trump.

Give it a year and they can name the street after John McCain instead. I like Obama more, but it would irk Trump just as much, I suspect.

If they can’t name the street after Pres. Obama, perhaps they can name the local sewer line after Trump. Maybe even spray paint a big, red “Trump” on the pipes the next time there is a repair.

Too bad it can’t happen now. tRump probably won’t even get a sewer system named after him.
@libthinker didn’t read yours before I posted mine.

Great minds . . . (and other self-flattery . . . )

Technically, it could be named after Obama’s father. (He has been dead for more than 2 years.)

He’ll just resort to calling her President Pocahontas.

I’d prefer “Harriet Tubman Ave”.
