Trump not unveiling Obama portrait

Not a big deal but yet another example of how he doesn’t give a f**k about normal traditions.

Seems to me that this has more to do with his hatred Obama’s legacy.

Mitch McConnell will be by any moment to condemn this “classless” display.

He just can’t stop confirming my opinion of him.

Well, it really is a big deal. It’s a major insult to Obama that would likely be front page news in sane times. It’s just that in today’s world, this is one more outrage in an endless stream of outrages. It’s hard to get upset at Trump dissing a better man when he does so many other things that are worse.

Maybe it’s better this way. Do we really need another confused, rambling speech about troops with no ammunition, depleted pandemic supplies, Hillary’s E-mails, illegal voting, attempted Deep State coups and the Best-Attended Inaugural of All Time?

Surprised he hasn’t ordered a painting of Obama picking cotton with on the "Trump Alley Plantation (Hotel and Casino) in Louisiana.

A small, petty man does a small, petty thing. Film at 11:00.

His whining, if his successor pulls the same thing on him, will be easily heard around the world, even if every media outlet in the world does the sane thing and ignores him 5 minutes after he’s out of office.

Time to bring back the “can you imagine the reaction if Obama did that” question. Trump is a piece of shit.

Did you read the second paragraph?

It really does look like both camps decided that it would be best to skip the whole thing.

“Obama would also not be interested in attending such an event, according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.” …because Trump is an unprecedented piece of shit. This situation has arisen with no other so-called President than Trump, because Trump is a piece of shit.

Really? Are we going to have a conversation about who started it?

McCain banned Trump from his funeral with good reason. When was the last time a sitting president was banned from a funeral of a well known senator?

As if we needed more examples of what a small man he is.

Hardly surprising, considering how badly Chump has been trashing Obama. It would be pretty awkward if Obama did attend. Not awkward for Chump, who has no sense of shame whatsoever, but awkward for everyone else. I agree with Elendil’s Heir in another thread, Obama can soon go see it as the guest of President Biden.

I don’t know. If I were Trump’s successor I certainly wouldn’t want to unveil his portrait and this would give me coverage to avoid it. Maybe just as well. (Ducks.)

Trumps potrait will be unveiled in the Arkham Asylum. :wink:

Back when we had an actual President, who wasn’t a piece of shit, President Obama unveiled GWB’s portrait. Here’s a snippet of the dignity and respect this country used to have.
