Obama Lives in Trump’s Head
The president feels the need to shower lies and blame upon his predecessor.
No one irritates Donald Trump quite like Barack Obama.
Trump’s run for president was in part triggered by his enmity for Obama,
his desire to one-up him, and
he has performed his presidency as a singularly focused attempt at Obama erasure,
dismantling what he can of what Obama built and
undoing policies Obama ins uted.
Obama is everything that Trump is not: intellectual, articulate, adroit, contemplative and cool.
He also happens to be a black man. The fact that he could not only ascend to the height of power but also the heights of celebrity and adoration vexed Trump.
Trump set about to demonstrate that none of that mattered, none of it could supersede the talents of a confident counterfeit.
He convinced himself that Obama was the convenient recipient of affirmative action adulation from a world thirsty for racial recompense, an assuaging of white guilt.
Trump has held this view well before anyone heard the name Barack Obama. In 1989, Trump said in an NBC News interview,
“A well educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white, in terms of the job market.”
Trump went so far as to say that
“I’ve said on occasion, even about myself,
if I was starting off today I would love to be a well-educated black
because I really believe they do have an actual advantage today.”
This was not a compliment. Trump adheres to the
theory of unearned black privileges at the expense of white effort,
that there is a handme-out meritocracy specifically for black people, a form of cultural welfare.
This made Obama an early target for Trump.
He questioned Obama’s birth and his heritage,
his abilities and educational pedigree.
He questioned his leadership and his work ethic.
Trump knew the terrible legions of flaws he possessed and
was incredulous that this black man could be devoid of any.
So, he feverishly searched for error, sometimes inventing it, moreover projecting his own error onto Obama.
Obama became Trump’s foil for personal reasons of racial and cultural insecurity.
But Trump’s view of him perfectly aligned with a larger phenomenon:
A significant swath of white America grated at the uppityness of this black man
who would set the tone for how Americans
should behave, and
his black wife who would lecture them about what to eat.
Obama wasn’t on the ballot in 2016, but in a way he was.
Trump wasn’t only running against Hillary Clinton
— whom conservatives revile, whom Vladimir Putin reviles, whom the patriarchy reviles —
he was also running against the black shadow of a black man.
These voters chose the opposite of Obama,
they chose the moral and intellectual an hesis,
someone who could arrest the advance that Obama represented:
an ascension of multicultural power and
a coming erasure of white advantage and
the dominance of white culture,
all of which establishment forces had either allowed or encouraged.
Trump was elected to restore the cultural narrative of the primacy of whiteness.
Now, with the colossal disaster of his Covid-19 response threatening his re-election prospects, Trump is attempting to draft Obama once
again as his primary opponent.
No president would have wanted this pandemic to happen on their watch. There would be death and suffering regardless. But,
it is hard to imagine another president handling the situation as poorly as Trump has, which has led to far more death and suffering than was necessary.
Where we are with this virus was not inevitable.
It is the direct result of Trump’s failed policies.
Trump has tried for months to do
what he has always done:
invent an alternate reality,
lie,
blame and
brag,
deny responsibility and
claim victory.
But that simply doesn’t work as well when the coronavirus has claimed more American lives in a few months than the Vietnam
War claimed in a decade.
It doesn’t work when tens of millions of Americans are out of work and the economy is teetering on a depression.
So, Trump is reaching past Joe Biden in his basement for
an opponent who evokes a more visceral disdain from his base: Obama.

Now you're dude watching, puto?
President Pelosi is trend setting
But you didn't run Obama against him. You ran your namesake.
That's an opinion piece, Edgar.
Trump throws Pompeo under bus, runs over him, backs up, runs over him again
"I don't know. I don't know anything about him. I don't know," Trump said of Linick,
"other than the State Department and Mike, in particular, I guess they weren't happy with the job he's doing or something."
Oh. So Pompeo made him do it. Okay.
And just to be crystal clear: "Mike requested that I do it." Righto. Got it.
That is super interesting, since
Pompeo just told The Washington Post he didn't know the inspector general had opened a probe into him.

UPDATE: CNN is reporting that Sec.

I forgot to ask during all this enormous up from trump.

What did he say that's not a fact?
Didn't bother clicking. It doesn't matter who posted it and what it's about, posting OpEds propped up with the word "fact" will never jive in an argument.
What did he say that's not a fact?
What about it stood out to you as alarming and putting this nation in such a dire position? I know you're just arguing with Chris, who never knows how to explain anything he posts, but prove you, a puro pinche Mexicano, can one up him and explain what he is posting.
Do it, cabron. I believe in you.
49 of 50 governors have better coronavirus poll numbers than Trump

I figured as much. Do yourself a favor and watch what he said. Then, if you wanna discuss I'm game.
Notice: Qhris didn't say anything substantive to refute it because she can't.
It's an opinion piece from WaPo. They're partisan.
I'll be fishing this early evening. That's generally when I listen to podcasts, etc. If I can squeeze it in, I will. And if it warrants a convo, I'll hit you up, Milkweed.
