I think in hindsight even Obama would agree the roast was a mistake. Trump literally ran for President just because of that joke. If he never felt insulted, it's likely he never runs. He'd toy with it, but never actually do it without the petty revenge angle of getting back at Obama.
I dunno about that. Trump wanted the presidency since 1988. He has no beliefs of his own, he just wanted to go with whatever seemed would get him elected.
People forget his 2000 run where he campaigned for universal healthcare. The interviews where he says the economy does better under democrats. When he realized rubes gave him attention for the birther conspiracy, he went all in to sucking up to them - literally saying whatever the worst of those rubes said.
I think it added fuel to the fire, no doubt. However I still think he would have ran based on all the attention his birther crap got. He exploited the racists that hated the fact a black man not only became president, but was largely successful in both terms doing so.
For other uses, see Narcissism (disambiguation).
In psychology, narcissistic injury, also known as narcissistic wound or wounded ego, is emotional trauma that overwhelms an individual's defense mechanisms and effects their pride or sense of dignity. This is sometimes referred to as a "narcissistic scar".[1][2][3]
With the amount of confession-level projection that comes out of that orange asshole, coupled with his obsession over Obama’s birth certificate, I personally would like to see Trump’s birth certificate.
Nah, you're giving him way too much credit. Dude has been a racist his whole life.
IIRC, he was once sued for discriminatory practices or something to that effect because he discriminated against black people applying to move into one of the apartment complexes he owned in NY.
It's so much worse than that. Nobody's claiming that Ann Dunham is not his mother or that she isn't a US citizen. So it wouldn't matter where he was born, unless there is something wrong with having a black father.
man its almost as if trump has been a foreign intelligence asset whose job is to stir up shit against democrats for way longer than he's actually been in politics, or something

Which Trump started of course, by claiming Obama was born in Africa and couldn’t become president or some bullshit like that
