    Obama is not POTUS yet Trump keeps mentioning Obama time after time as if Obama is POTUS. I'm starting to worry about Trump.

    Trump’s rivals seize on opportunities to challenge his acuity

    But Trump's supporters seem unfazed by anything, apparenlty.

    I think it’s intentional. Obama is how Trump got elected the first time.

    I wouldn't say that bother is the word. I am starting to become concerned just like I am concerned for Biden.

    It’s weird. Maybe his inner circle is putting things in his head about Michelle jumping in? I’d love it if Barack could run again. I don’t think it’d be that close.

    That and I think Trump is still butt hurt from his humiliation by Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

    In their lizard brains, it is still what he and his base most react to. The thought of someone like 44 exercising power over them.

    I'm waiting for one of our far-left liberals to claim this is about racism

    Imo it’s rooted in jealousy. Obama was a 2 term potus and won the popular vote each time. He left office with a ok approval rating which is good considering our hyper-partisan climate. And today, he has a higher approval rating than trump. For trump, popularity, fame (and power) are more important than literally anything else. country, family, anything. And Obama is more popular and considered ‘cool’ by many. Dear Leader doesn’t think much of the class or societal demographic that follows him.

    I think the stress of the trials is affecting him. I cannot imagine the hatred he feels towards the so many that are unfairly targeting him for political purposes, or at least in his mind

    Zuck polling even worse than Kevin McCarthy? Lol.

    That’s actually surprising to me. I figured he’d be polarizing, but I guess he doesn’t even have the adoration of fanboys and techbros like Musk.

    I can’t help but think there’s a racial animus at play. A sad attempt to stoke his birther base.

    yeah that’s is peculiar. Who cares that much about him to not like him.
