Anyone who cares about anything Trump says regarding Obama at this point is delusional. Trump has already proven many times over how he feels about Obama

Not an apt comparison. Obama would never have bollixed things up like the Orange Menace has.

“Sure, you have been doing a great job. But, say someone else had performed the same actions and had the same outcome? Let’s say former President Obama. Would you have called for that person to resign?”

Oo! Trump saw through the reporter’s clever question.

I long for the day when the rantings of this demented and damaged president are no longer on the front pages and landing pages of respectable news sources.

Of course he wouldn’t! Trump would never have called for Obama’s resignation. Trump loved Obama. Trump often said during Obama’s Presidency how much he admired the man and how much he wanted to model his own Presidency after Obama’s. I remember this all very clearly so none of you can tell me I’m wrong about this.

But he WOULD have called for him to resign for making a joke at moron’s expense.

Every word Trump says is a lie, including “the” and “and”.

If Trump announced that today is Tuesday, August 11 and the sun rose in the east, I would not believe him.

Edit: Just realized, if they took the ending suggestion, it would leave OAN sitting there, sticking out like a sore thumb.

tRump kills 160,000 people - face on Mt Rushmore. Obama wears a tan suit - a disgrace to the office.

He’s got the racist vote. It is stronger than

  • Economics (the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression)

  • Russian bounties on U.S. troops

  • The worst handling of a any public health crisis in U.S. history

  • and at least 25 other major scandals and mishandlings

Poor baby admits the death toll is staggering and that he’s got no clue how to deal with it.

What must it be like to live a truth-less life? Where you can say you did or didn’t do anything, depending only on what sounds best to whoever is in front of you. Brave enough for any heroic action, smarter than any scientist, just ask me a question and I can give the most fantastical answer you ever heard. All without guilt or conscience; all without regard for right or wrong. Where all proof is a lie and all lies are proof. How must that feel?

It’s remarkable how dumb ass people like Rump don’t realize that their words can come back to haunt them. The internet never forgets.
