It hit me last night

[malaise]

He calls Putin President Putin. He calls Kim Chairman Kim but he always says Obama for the two term elected President of the United States.
His hatred of President Obama is the reason he's going down. It has consumed him. Good.

[Stuart G]

1. His "hatred has consumed him." Good point..

Whatever is the reason that he goes down, it needs to be soon. He is not thinking straight.

[enid602]

45. Hatred

No, I think his hatred FUELS him.

[DownriverDem]

47. I'm white

and disgusted with all the hate that white trumpsters engage in. Locally a couple of news stations here (Metro Detroit) were met with trump protesters yesterday. All because trump attacks the press. Scary.

[Sherman A1]

2. While he certainly has and never had respect for President Obama

as to whether He is going down or not remains to be seen. I'm not holding my breath.

[bearsfootball516]

3. I have the same mindset.

People have been saying that Trump is going down for over a year and a half now. He's still here, and he'll still be here tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him resign. But I'll believe it when I see it.

[ProfessorGAC]

72. A Year and A Half?

You thought an elected POTUS was going to actually be taken down in less than 18 months?

That seems a little unrealistic.

On another note: Time for our front office to get off their high horse and get the first freakin' round draft pick into camp instead of pinching pennies over the new helmet rule.

[bearsfootball516]

79. I've never thought that. I've always thought he'd serve his full term and lose re-election.

But it's not uncommon to see posts here every week from people saying that they think Trump isn't going to last much longer. Especially when he was first elected, there were a lot of posters saying they didn't think he'd make it to 6 months, 1 year, etc.

And I totally agree with you. Get him in camp.

[Lonestarblue]

19. I'm with you.

What I’m hoping for with the November election is control of the House and at least a slim majority in the Senate. He’ll still be able to do damage, but Dems can block a border wall, prevent lifetime appointments for extremist federal judges, and block any new Supreme Court nominees. Even if the House holds impeachment hearings, the votes to impeach will not be in the Senate, which doesn’t mean that the House should not do its job. Trump needs to have the stain of impeachment as part of his legacy.

[greymattermom]

41. Who will testify?

Is perjury in those hearings a crime? Will the liars be called to testify? Maybe there are outcomes short of impeachment that would be helpful.

[mercuryblues]

71. Yes.

intentionally lying to Congress and the FBI is a crime, even if you are not sworn in.

[Farmergene]

33. The Republican majority congress

The Republican majority congress absolutely will NOT throw their boy under the bus. This is why the midterms are sooooo important.

[Cosmocat]

35. It won't happen until his out of office

IF he leaves office ...

People need to at the very least accept that part of it.

Even then, yeah, no sure thing.

[olegramps]

42. I am afraid that people are judging him and his supporters by their standards.

They can't accept the fact that this man is ruthless and without a shred of conscience. The vast majority of those who support him have the same moral standards. That is why he was elected in spite of his gross sexual behavior. They simply ignore that he is a racist, liar, charlatan, womanizer, and base scoundrel without any morals. They have been so brainwashed by the radical right wing that they view anyone who opposes him and their radical racist party as immoral, un-American liberals. They are so disillusioned they are convinced that they are the grass roots protectors of our nation. It is impossible for them to grasp that they are being led down the path of to a fascist government in which the will be little better than slaves of the oligarchs. I have posted the 14 Characteristic of Fascism several times on this board that were written Professor Britt published 2003. This is not a new development. It is what the Republican Party have been pursueing even prior to the Reagan presidency. Increasingly, people such as former Secretary of State Madilyn Albright, are finally acknowledging the obvious fact. Hopefully it isn't too late.

[defacto7]

51. This

[TommyCelt]

70. Exactly...

That offhand 5th Avenue comment has been frighteningly accurate thus far.

He doesn't care about the rule of law, and neither do his followers. He will claim corruption on whatever comes to light about the Russian conspiracy and any other illegal activities. He will rally his followers and they will flock to his defense...and I fear about what will happen next.

We are not dealing with rational here. You think he's just gonna put up is hands and say "Yeah, got me" when the results of Mueller's investigation comes out? I don't.

[True Dough]

4. He refers to Prime Minister Trudeau

as "Justin." Like he's talking about one of his kids.

What a doofus!

[malaise]

7. He's terrified of fit, good looking men

As in Trudeau or Obama.

[empedocles]

15. 'fit, good looking', competent men

[malaise]

17. Agree

[MontanaMama]

37. Fit, good looking, competent

And might I add, well loved men! He can’t take it. His words and actions say “pay attention to meeeeeeee”.





Edited to correct spelling error by my phone!

[greymattermom]

43. Remember he has to pay for sex and attention.

In his heart he knows that.

[erronis]

61. Just to add to the list of things dumpf is scared of: Fit, competent women (drop the good-looking)

He's scared of everything, probably even his own dark shadow. But smart women who aren't under his power must be terrifying.

[malaise]

62. Great point

[True Blue American]

64. You said it!:)

[maddiemom]

32. HRC certainly doesn't even get the respect of Sen.,Mrs. Clinton,or even just Hillary.

She's never referred to without the adjective "Crooked:" "Crooked Hillary." and rousing his fan base to chant "Lock her up!" I've been around since Harry Truman, and NEVER heard a sitting POTUS show such ( if any) malice toward his campaign opponent. This is a very sick man without an iota of class or common sense. I truly hope that "lock her up!" bites him hard on the ass. I'll settle for just getting him OUT, but I'd love to see the truly deserving one get actually locked up.

[malaise]

69. Well since she's been cleared more than once

She should sue him.

[democratisphere]

5. His attempted and failed destruction of Obama's legacy

will aid in his own demise. You make a good point.

[malaise]

12. He had to show him that he could win

by any means necessary. He has already discovered that it wasn't't worth it.

[rzemanfl]

6. What Obama did to Drumpf at the Correspondent's Dinner was devastating. Deserved, but

devastating to his fragile ego.

[malaise]

10. Yep

but birther Don the Con earned it.

[magicarpet]

49. trDump'$ endless and relentless birther bull shit...

.... Years upon years of that crap it is no wonder Obama publicly chastised trDump. He is a typical bully who dishes it out and dishes it out but when a little comes back their way they go highly offended ballistic.

trDump deserved every bit of the dressing down Obama sent his way.

[malaise]

50. 100% correct

He thinks he's a superior human being.n he is one sick fuck.

[True Blue American]

65. Trump has been on one

Long revenge ever since President Obama made fun of him.

So far, with cheating,stealing, help from Russia spreading his hate he has succeeded. That hate,rage and greed will bring him down.

Patience,people, the walls of the Law are slow, grind exceedingly fine.

[rzemanfl]

55. The President did wipe floor with Drumpf.

It was poetic justice and as close to vindictive as I have ever seen him be.

[Moostache]

8. Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate...leads to SUFFERING!

The wisdom of Yoda...always there in a crisis...but I digress...

The sad thing is that before Trump gets his share of the SUFFERING, we all are being forced to live through this abomination of an administration and utter miscarriage of justice. I just want his to be epic and lead to an early demise for that shitstain on human history and his whole fucking family.

or sticking with the Yoda theme....

[malaise]

11. + 1,000

In his dreams he's as articulate and personable as Obama. The black man actually won his election - he did not need a Russian assisted coup.

[FM123]

18. "In his dreams he's as articulate and personable as Obama"

Not just articulate and personable - intelligent, dignified and oh yeah, good-looking!

[malaise]

27. +1,000

[asiliveandbreathe]

9. I can't think of a better way for Obama to troll this POS...

Endorse 81 candidates and hit the campaign highway...this should be, SHOULD be medias plan for the mid-term elections...follow President Obama on the stump...put t rump on the back burner...but will they?? - We can only hope...

[malaise]

13. + 1,000

[Submariner]

21. President Obama deserves amazing credit for biting his tongue

and refusing to engage Trump directly in any forum, especially Twitter.

I believe Trump's wildest dream is to bait President Obama into a direct twitter response. Trump would shift into political orgasm mode trying to excoriate the Kenyan usurper. The only problem is President Obama has too much class to lower himself to Trump's level and take the bait.

[malaise]

24. True

Good post

[ehrnst]

14. Obama is everything that DT tries and fails to be - while also being black.(nt)

[Hortensis]

16. Interesting about the titles. I suspect he hates Obama

because he hates the comparisons people make with a real president and is trying to diminish him. Certainly Trump's only ideology is "me" and "I want."

He's malicious and is enjoying dismantling all of Obama's legacy that he can (Obama's important legacy is completely untouchable!) out of spite. He does it as an exercise of personal power. And he does it because the right wants it and he enjoys tossing these nice meaty bones to buy political support and feed his base.

But all his actions are always intensely shallow and about him, and I suspect that above all he's -- pathetically -- just doing it for the same reason he'd dismantle a taller statue than his own.

COUNTDOWN TO DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF CONGRESS: 95 days!

[FakeNoose]

20. Cheeto uses no titles of respect for ANYBODY except foreign dictators

And he's the only president* I can ever remember using belittling nicknames for people. He got away with it during his campaign, and I thought he would stop doing it as president.* He demands respect for himself, but he shows none to anyone else.

[malaise]

26. He uses first names to demean but remember

He does not use either President Obama's first name or title. It is meant to be contemptuous.

[sandensea]

22. He also calls German Chancellor Angela Merkel, "Angela" (and then of course disses her)

Whle referring to despots like Argentina's Mauricio Macri as "President Macri" - despite being friends with the brigand for 35 years.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

29. And Prime Minister Trudeau

"Justin" as if he's talking to an amateur or a child.

[sandensea]

31. The more you respect democracy and the common good, the less he respects you.

Like an orange Idi Amin.

[unblock]

23. he insults categorically 85% of america, and most of the world. but putin? never.

the only class that's exempt from categorical insults is american rich white male straight christian right-wing republicans. but even within that group, he'll insult anyone who doesn't always do his exact bidding, like sessions.

but he's never had anything but praise and admiration for putin.

he's one of the very, very few people worthy of nothing but praise in donnie's book.

[czarjak]

25. President Putin Pleaser...

Donnie, you’re doing a hell-of-a job!

[DemoTex]

28. Hope vs. Hate

"When you have plenty of good strong hating you don't need hope because the hating will be enough to nourish you."

William Faulkner - 'Absalom, Absalom!'

[malaise]

30. Great quote

[WinstonSmith4740]

34. Another sign...

He's never given Putin a stupid nickname.

[Orsino]

36. His hatred of Obama is just jealousy.

The honorifics for dictators betray his wish for unearned laurels and immunity from criticism.

He is conscious of how little he understands and of how little he actually does. He hasn't the first clue as to how to work, and resents those who did and were lauded for it.

He would like to coast into approval, to sleep late, to tweet and to play golf.

[malaise]

39. +1,000

Jealousy, envy and of course vengeance.

[cwydro]

75. Spot on.

[marble falls]

38. It only hurts him. Its not as if the deplorables aren't abandoning his basket.

[yuiyoshida]

40. The man is a bigot,of course he hates Obama

ever since Obama made fun of him at that Press Dinner many years back.

[Timer]

48. Yep. One of the few things he does know

is how to carry a grudge. He's talked about how his approach is, you have to slam people hard...much harder than they slammed you.

[ProfessorGAC]

73. Bingo!

Small minds hold grudges a VERY long time. Broader minds get over it.

[yuiyoshida]

78. He can't get over his hate, he has truly

crossed (In Lucas term's) OVER to the DARK SIDE.

[ProfessorGAC]

80. AND, He Has A Small Mind

Dumb and dark side. Not a good combination for the rest of us.

[sarcasmo]

44. Revenge is what drives Dolt 45.

[bronxiteforever]

46. Agree. His KKK father was his role model.

He is a horrible human being.

[bettyellen]

52. And Putin called him Donald and slyly smiled at the summit, Din called him President Putin.

He was like a dog in a leash.

[Elwood P Dowd]

53. But Trump is a tremendously bigly more gooder athlete.

57. Howling with laughter- let out an

Oh Shit!

[lastlib]

66. (evidently tRumpski let out an "oh shit", too.....)

[panader0]

76. Punahou!! My school too. Class of '68

[secondwind]

54. Spot on! K&R

[MariaCSR]

56. Honey I been knowing that.

His jealousy of Obama is the only reason he ran in the first place.

[VOX]

58. Name-drops foreign-leader titles to boost his own stock, as in, "See, I'm a big world leader, too."

It's all 45's pitiful, microscopic ego. He does/knows jack shit about much of anything, so by tossing around other leader's big titles, he struts around, acting the part of some great statesman, in an attempt to conceal what a lightweight he really is.

Like everything else he does, it's sickening. He doesn't belong where he is, and he's woefully out of his league.

[malaise]

59. Very true but only President Obama is singled out

for surname only.

[VOX]

60. Oh, for certain. It's his dismissive "gang sign" to throw for his followers.

Not unlike his continued use of "Crooked Hilary." But the plain "Obama" has just enough racism in it to serve as bit of code for his "our hatred is bottomless" base.

[Peaceful Protester]

63. Excerpt from: Strength to Love, by Martin Luther King Jr.

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

-- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

67. Why it is SO likely that the pee story is true! It is

Just too specific to be made up. Trump's hatred and jealousy of Obama. The fact that the Obamas were in Moscow at the same hotel.

Btw irked the hell out of me yesterday that press allowed Sara to say dossier discredited.

[malaise]

68. Excellent point

Truth will out soon and very soon.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

74. Obama's in Moscow
