The Short Fingered Vulgarian doesn’t understand most “turns of phrase,” or even lots of “words.” So we have no fucking idea what he means when he talks, which is even scarier than taking his proclamations at face value. ---

This policy of spite against every single thing Obama supported is one of the saddest and most nakedly pathetic things I’ve ever seen. When Donny Shithead started his birther nonsense, was there any other reason for his animosity towards Obama? The thing is, Obama isn’t just a Generic Black Man. He’s an uppity black man, one who doesn’t know his place, and seems to think he can do anything he wants, like be President of the United States. :eek: Obama is well-educated, articulate, smart, classy, personable, charming with a wife of the same ilk, and has not a whisper of personal, sexual, financial, or political scandal in his past. What’s not for Trump to hate? Not to mention, Obama is in prime physical shape. Can you imagine the bitter, jealous rage that erupted in Donnie when he saw those videos of Obama windsurfing? 😃 Warms my heart to picture it. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > …When Donny Shithead started his birther nonsense, was there any other reason for his animosity towards Obama? While Donnie Two-Scoops of Pussy was one of the lead cheerleaders, and should be blamed for keeping it in the headlines, he did NOT start the [Birther Movement](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/birther-movement-founder-trump-clinton-228304). There is plenty of hateful, vile, evil, petty, vindictive shit that the Loofah-Faced ShitGibbon is directly responsible for. No need to blame him for things he’s not. It just gives his supporters the tired way out of “you were wrong about this, therefore you must be wrong about everything”. ETA: I see you said “_his_” birther nonsense, not the birther nonsense. Rather than just saying n/m, I’ll leave this up for others I believe I’ve seen blame him for starting it. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > … When Donny Shithead started his birther nonsense, was there any other reason for his animosity towards Obama? To add to what others have said: Trump jumped on the birther issue as a way to get interview invitations–as we know, he loves being the center of attention. But I’d guess that his actual hatred for Obama began with the infamous 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, when Obama very effectively ridiculed Trump (“But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately you didn’t blame Little John or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night.”) > [@](#): > > About an hour before Barack Obama came to the microphone and, in a manner of speaking, deftly slit his throat, cut out his entrails, set him ablaze and scraped what was left off the presidential shoe, Donald Trump was having a grand old time at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. > > …But after Obama finished with him—and the evening’s paid entertainer, Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers, stomped on the remains—a scowling Trump and his frowning model-wife bolted out of their chairs in the basement ballroom, pushed their way toward the exit with their security team, and disappeared into the cruel Washington night.

At that same 2011 dinner, Obama said: > [@](#): > > Donald Trump is here tonight, now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac? So Trump had already been on the birther bandwagon at that point. I was wondering if there was some other reason Trump went after Obama earlier, aside from the fact that he’s a worthless, Orange-colored piece of dog doo. ---
