That may have been the reason Trump decided to run

 

 

 

Obama’s comments to that effect were well before Trump announced 

 

Trump was winning the republican primaries when it happened.

Everybody mocked Trump well before then.  Trump's been mocked for 40 years.

Trump has been giving people ammo for years. Ya know, he is probably the worst orator of a president as we’ve ever had...and “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice...CANT GET FOOLED AGAIN!”

Not possible. Trump was ordered to run by the Clintons in order to sabotage the GOP and ensure Hillary as our eternal president.

Obama not going away..........Featured image

 

 

 In the New York Post column The myth of Obama’s disappearance,” Paul Sperry documents in excruciating detail that he is still out there seeking fundamental transformation. He’s not going anywhere. He hasn’t changed his stripes. He means to put us back on the road he left us on. He reminds us that history does not trace an inevitable arc. It’s in our hands.

 

 

 

FTA:

 

If you believe recent media accounts, the former Democratic president has suddenly transcended the political fray. It’s as if a newly “Zen-like” Barack Obama is content to just write his memoir and let Donald Trump and Republicans write the next chapter of history.

 

In a cover story asking “Where is Barack Obama?,” for example, New York magazine concluded that the 44th president has “virtually disappeared” from the political scene and is sitting idly by as his legacy is dismantled piece by piece. From an exclusive interview, the periodical concluded Obama was “modeling his political engagement out of office after George W. Bush’s” — that is, staying out of the rough-and-tumble of politics, maintaining distance from his former office and resigning himself to be an elder statesman fading into the sunset.

 

Don’t buy it.

 

Obama is doing far more to shape the political landscape than is visible. In fact, for an ex-prez, he’s taking an unusually active role in politics, including helping radical protest groups fight Trump and his policies and devising a scheme to flip the GOP majority in the House and permanently turn red seats blue.

 

From his sprawling DC office not far from the White House, where he oversees a full-time staff of 20, Obama has held regular meetings with Democratic lawmakers, as well as DNC chief Tom Perez, whom he personally helped install to run the Democratic Party. Obama has also met with his attorney general, Eric Holder, to craft a strategy to redraw congressional district maps in Democrats’ favor, according to Politico. Holder now runs the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which Obama helped his old friend launch.

Obama, who maintains a home in Chicago, originally said he only planned to stay in Washington temporarily, until his younger daughter, Sasha, now 17, finished high school there. But the family is clearly putting down deeper roots. They recently bought their DC rental home and erected a massive security wall around the property, which includes offices, and are installing a swimming pool.

 

While it may be true Obama does not want to engage directly in Washington politics, including personally protesting Trump’s policies, he is using a political organizing group he founded to do that for him.

 

That nonprofit — Organizing for Action — is not exactly a household name. But it is no less than the organizing and training hub of the anti-Trump resistance.

President Donald Trump doesn’t like to talk about polls unless they’re good polls. So it’s unlikely that he’ll bring up the latest survey from the Pew Research Center, which says that more Americans consider Barack Obama the best or second-best president of their lifetime.

Trump comes in fourth, behind Bill Clinton and fellow Republican Ronald Reagan.

Laughing my ass off all day long. SCOTUS seat #2, primed and ready.

 

If only Trump didn't have you folks struggling to open a jar, or complete RBG's 60-minute training nap. :lol:
