Is it just my imagination, or has Trump started to feel the pressure of not living up to the greatness of his office in the same way that Obama did? I mean, Obama was widely recognized as being this top-tier orator, renowned constitutional law expert, and internationally respected head-of-state.
Contrast that with Trump, who is viewed (even by his own colleagues) as a narcissistic business man of dubious ethics, with a penchant for racial demagoguery and a gross disposition toward females.
Lately it seems Trump can't stop talking about Obama-- Obama this, Obama that, Oh I'm so much better than Obama.... What started out as a simple rhetorical device for winning the support of white supremacists seems to have become full-time obsession for the President, am I wrong? Has there ever been another president in our history who spent so much time bad mouthing his predecessor?
In the 2010 midterms, Obama lost more seats than anyone since the 1940s, and Obama lost the House and Senate in 2010 and 2014.
Trump is way ahead of Obama, WAY ahead.
Trump increased majority in the Senate, and Republicans won Florida Governorship and Senate, very important because whoever wins Florida in the General Election wins the White House, based on history.
Trump spoke about Obama constantly during the 2016 Election, by the way....far more than he's doing this year.
President Obama doesn't need to pay off porn stars.
He doesn't associate with pedophiles and treasonous traitors.
President Obama doesn't have his former campaign officials charged.
He won via popular vote AND electoral basically without the help of Wikileaks and Russia.
His approval rating low is higher than Trump's highest approval rating.
He won a Noble Peace Prize. Trump had to bribe foreign officials to nominate him for awards.
Trump isn't popular. His birthism con didn't plan out.
Trump has scammed folks including college student and charities. He inherited a good economy from Obama.
Trump can't come up with a decent healthcare or immigration plan.
Trump's presidency is a failure just like many of his scams and business.
The list goes on and on.
OP, you hit it spot on.
I hope all of these concerns that you are worried about dont cause you to go into some sort of depression AFTER TRUMP WINS AGAIN. lol
People actually believe that the next president won't undo Trump's horrible policies that benefit his corporate buddies. Trump can't make a deal with Iran, North Korea or China. He spews another con about mental illness being the cause of domestic terrorism but rolls back SSA reporting of severely mentally ill patient reporting in favor of his NRA donations. Most of the country is sick and tired of this embarrassing president. Most of the officials in his cabinet are "acting" because everyone around him is quitting, retiring or resigning. The writing is on the wall.
You need to write your congressman and complain to him, Crying here isnt doing a thing..lol

I think Trump has always talked about Obama (and Hillary). It's probably partly because he's insecure, and probably partly because he really doesn't have much to talk about. If you listen to him at rallies, he's just rambling, insulting others, and praising himself, but always vaguely. There's nothing he can discuss in depth. After some golf event where his opinion was asked, someone commented that they'd never heard Trump speak so well about anything else as he did with that one golf comment.
Some presidents do mention their predecessors - Obama did in terms of the Bush economic mess. But I don't think that any other president has ever done it so much, so meanly, with such paranoia, and even making legal threats.
I haven't noticed Trump talking more about Obama lately, but it might be that he'll ramp it up as the election comes closer. And maybe that long eloquent tweet from Obama stung.
"Has there ever been another president in our history who spent so much time bad mouthing his predecessor?" Yes, obama.
I'm still waiting for the treasure trove of evidence you folks keep referring to that shows Obama bad mouthing his predecessor while he was in office.
Oh, that's right, you can't support your assertion because it's not true. Has the revisionist history peddled by the GOP distorted your reality to the point that you actually believe lies?

Trump is so insecure that he gets mad at anything that Obama accomplished. He was even complaining that Obama had more followers on Twitter then he did!
Obama went after him in the correspondents dinner and now, like a true clinical narcissist that he is, he will not be satisfied until all his rage is satisfied.
and that will never happen. He will always be stuck in the 12-year-old bully position because that is all he knows.

Did Obama ever claim that Bush was an illegal alien? Trump went on about the "birther" lie year after year even after it had been completely debunked a thousand times over. For some reason Trump has always been obsessed with Obama. Maybe he's suffering from ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).
Where was it? I think it was McCain's funeral where the Obamas and the Bushes were seated together. George was giving Michelle candy, and both families were smiling at each other and talking. May not agree on politics but related to each other on human level. Trump cannot relate on a human level to other people.
While I personally do not agree with W's politics, I certainly would not shun the man if I ever came into contact with him. I met Trump once many years ago when we were both young. Not the highlight of my life to say the least. He hasn't changed, only gotten worse, in his old age.
Politics aside, Obama is a good man: George W. Bush as well. I say the latter as a Democrat comparing him to Trump.
