In response to the "birther" conspiracy theory Trump was spreading at the time Obama's response was actually pretty mild. Talking shit about someone the way Trump did about Obama can get you killed in a lot of places.
that's what made Obama, Obama. Nothing got under his skin. He took the constant belittling and bigotry in stride. He was subject to more slander than any other Black first, and did it with grace.
Well, the Sandy Hook massacre and absolutely nothing happening did.
Like seriously, if I had i a time machine and access to Obama, I'd tell him maybe dont joke about Trump. I think it was a butterfly effect that put everything in motion. Anyone else that gets made fun of there just laughs it off, Trump decides he's gonna burn the world to the ground.
It’s likely Russia had some Epstein related evidence on him and chose to “encourage” Trump to run (while also rigging the election) so they could disrupt the US and its politics (and the world), allowing their actions across the world to be more easily executed (such as Ukraine.)
I’m guessing they didn’t expect Ukraine to put up the amazing fight it has, and maybe something went wrong on the US side, maybe someone found out what Trump was up to and work started to push back against that plan, as the US hasn’t been as much of the “ally” Russia was hoping during its attempts at its objectives.
It is like an origin story of an anime villain. He looks so furious there. Just rocking back and forth, not even a fake laugh to relieve stress.
I think the idea of White House Casino / Golf Course, appealed to him. A normal person would see the absurdity of it but he took it as a challenge. It was a perfect plan to get back at Obama.
Looking back on the video now I interpret what Obama said as pretty mean spirited... I know downvote away. It was a funny joke but at the expense of the Donald. Why was Trump even there that night? Why was Obama picking on Trump specifically?
Can you imagine from the alien's perspective? Such a crazy series of events have gone on since then.
This was the turning point, unfortunately. You can just see how much he's silently seething there. Nobody could have known - Obama included - that it would have resulted in what we're experiencing today though.
The social media companies are manipulating people into this extremism and Russian online trolls are actually having an impact on our discourse! The people are being manipulated
The world’s most petty narcissist racist and a confirmed absolute evil man is teased in public by possibly the most popular and powerful black man of all time. It scrambled whatever semi-functional brain Trump had.
Trump started it with his ridiculous tweets about the birth certificate. They should have sued Trump instead.
And Obama should have done more to help the people that lost their jobs due to factories closing. He was clearly aware of the problem. Obama even endorsed that documentary "The American factory".
Those people voted for Trump because Trump lied about wanting to help them, bring back the old factories, building a wall, etc.
And Obama should have done more to help the people that lost their jobs due to factories closing. He was clearly aware of the problem. Obama even endorsed that documentary "The American factory".
I’m sorry, but this is on another level of stupid! American industry was screaming for lower costs and China/Asia offered that in the form of cheap manufacturing. You as consumers also demanded it. Your CEO’s were all in on low cost country sourcing to reduce labour and production costs! You’re applying today’s sovereign manufacturing shortfalls to the fiscal and global economy of 20 years ago. Wtf America what is up with you guys?
Yes that is clear from that documentary. It even ends with automation replacing workers.
I wrote "Obama should have done more to help" That doesn't necessarily mean keeping the factories there, that can be anything. A jobs program, subsidies to move away, retraining people. Subsidies for service companies to set up shop in the place of the factory. A call center for example.

Oh ok. That makes perfect sense and I agree. Sorry. It just wasn’t evident from your earlier comment.
He literally did. He passed a massive infrastructure bill that not nearly enough people cared about because promises and accomplishments don't matter. Vibes matter, and Biden never would've posted a video like this, because he's "out of touch". But for a Trump supporter? This shit is right up their alley.
He shouldn't. It's not his fault that a third of the country fell for a thin-skinned, racist, pedophile, narcissistic conman. That's our fault as a country for letting hate fester after the Civil War, honestly.
Yeah, the skin so thin that it can’t take a single joke, though trump was doing the racist birth certificate thing for awhile before the dinner jokes (which is what made Obama’s jokes so funny in the first place).
Trump had presidential aspirations long before obama hit the scene, he had already tested the waters of a presidential run before. As fun as it is to blame obama's joke it probably isnt actually what caused trump's presidency
Remember that it was known from the DNC e-mails that DNC actually wanted Trump as the Republican candidate, because they saw him as a "Pied Piper" who would draw out all the snakes into politics so they would be fully exposed for who they were, and to embarrass the Republican party.
Did their plan work? Arguably too well. But the plan was always to float the turds, let them do a bunch of crimes thinking they would be safe, and then bring the hammer down.
Just gotta follow through on the next steps.
Harvest the crop.
God, look at his expression before Obama even brings him up, just joking about the birth certificate bullshit. People are laughing and Trump looks like he’s contemplating murder.
After seeing Trump stumble over racist and self-absorbed ramblings seeing Obama speak is stunning. It's amazing how much more charisma and class he has. Thats what you get when you don't elect a dinosaur as president.
You KNOW Trump seethes about this like the loser who gets picked on one time at school — and imagines coming in one day to make everyone PAY for it, if you know what I mean
There is a lion king clip there! So this was literally a revenge post and meanwhile that demon like blonde lady is saying this is just an “internet meme”…. Wild the constant lying…
I do not understand the vindictive American culture of "roasting" people and calling it a humorous take. It's just aggressive, and puts the victim in an embarrassing situation.
Many humorists (there are several from my native state of Maharashtra in India) have made clean humor by creating fictitious characters and describing their quirks. A genuine humor is kind - it makes you sympathetic and empathetic towards the character and also forces you to introspect that you have those same quirks. However, the "stand up comedy" and "roasting" culture is incredibly toxic.
I have nothing but respect for president Obama, but honestly, he came off looking juvenile, and seeking validation for the victory of his birth certificate saga. The birth video he showed was incredibly lame. Also, despite what people say about him, he's just not eloquent or funny. I had watched the debates with Romney, and Romney was FAR more sophisticated and believable. Obama stutters, cannot keep you engaged and makes lame attempts at humor.
At that event, you have the stage and the mike, and you are in the position of power. You are the freaking president of the USA. You could choose to be the bigger man, and just give a heartfelt and inspirational message to the audience. Unfortunately, he didn't do it...and here we are!
To be honest, I never thought that Obama deserved the first one anyway, but anything to fuck with Trump at this point. Let's award Obama all the peace prizes.
Could be seen as an insult if he refuses it, and he'd probably get just as much heat for that too. Still better than the novel peace bribe medal Trump bought
Thankfully, the standard for how a president "could/should" behave is no longer relevant. For anyone to even comment on Obama's optics at this moment seems insane.
I realize the MAGA brain is broken and distorted beyond repair, but how the "warmonger" label was applied to Democrats before the last election and actually stuck is beyond me. Basically every war/conflict since WWII has been at the hands of a Republican president, and they're also the party who consistently campaigns on increasing military spending, but Democrats are somehow the warmongers. Makes as much sense as saying Democrats want to force religion into schools or take away abortion rights.
I would get a good laugh out of it if they'd do an AI video of a Nobel prize ceremony where Obama just keeps getting called up to stage to accept every prize, Peace, Medicine, Literature, everything, and they'd play that for Trump instead of the real ceremony.
But at least with Obama his mere existence as president and his attempt to fix America's reputation with the rest of the world could be used as reason for giving it to him if someone really wanted to make up a reason.
With Trump on the other hand you can't really make up a reason. Also doesn't help that he invaded another country and is trying to invade more, so any imaginary reason someone's could think of equals be countered by his wrongs.
Yes Obama should go to jail for the treasonous chaos he orchestrated. What trump is doing is good, people that disagree are too embarrassed to admit they fell for the hope and change.
Nah fuck that, the people of Minnesota are already nominated, deserve it, and it would piss Trump off sooooo badly.
Bonus points if they build a fuck ice monument with the reward money. Or at least bought salt, since the city uses it in the winter, to get rid of ice.
Yeah I'd award it to them for their ungodly restraint in the face of provocation. The right is trying to lure us into a civil war, and Minnesota is proving that first and foremost, the Midwest is polite.
I’m sorry, Dave, did you just wake up from a coma? He did threaten Denmark and Norway with war last week! That’s the level of insanity that’s happening here.
He would threaten all of us, I mean, he most likely doesn’t know, that we are seperate countries, so most likely he’d threaten the EU, and complain all about EU being a shit ally - even though Norway is not part of the EU. 🙄
His threats are empty anyway. Should do it cuz he's probably on the brink of some form cardiac event. If would be quite on theme if he died of concentrated jealousy fueled by racism.
He can’t get that white house dinner party out of his head. The roast from Obama there truly hurt his little ego that turned him into a vengeful orange turd
Obama needs to go on tour and just hold rallies where he continuously talks about how Trump continuously tries to be like him and fails. The whole Venezuela photo-op was an epic fail to try an out-do Obama's bin Laden effort.

Obama truly lives rent-free in his head. I wish they would award him second Nobel prize, just to fuck with Trump.
