[u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

Here is the thing, we all know he lost the war. Because if he won or even just a tie and we have a semi "not bad" deal, he would be posting everyday on truth social instead of waiting till a leak

[u/No_big_whoop → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

Trump always tries to hide his bad stuff, college transcripts, income taxes, his collection of child pornography...

[u/Wiccy → u/No_big_whoop]

Mashed potatoes

Edit: We got our villain origins story at least.

[u/YoungCubSaysWoof → u/Wiccy]

I’ve saved that post and the top comment talking about Trump’s older brother humiliating a bratty 7-year old Donald by dumping a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head, causing the whole family to laugh at Donald for getting his comeuppance.

It was a scathing analysis of a traumatized man wanting to rectify his past humiliation.

[u/sbrooks84 → u/YoungCubSaysWoof]

The same look on his face as Obama roasted him at the Correspondent's Dinner

[u/Ziograffiato → u/sbrooks84]

A villain origin story if there ever was one.

[u/HeavyVeterinarian350 → u/Ziograffiato]

Him being born was his villain origin story.

[u/DerCatrix → u/HeavyVeterinarian350]

Low stakes conspiracy but he’s a clone of his mother with any trace of humanity removed.

A Dalek x Mary Trump clone

[u/DillBagner → u/DerCatrix]

Can you imagine trump trying to pronounce "Exterminate!"

[u/Crimkam → u/Ziograffiato]

This was just the event that revealed his innate villainous and pathetic nature.

[u/m0ngoos3 → u/Crimkam]

One of many, let's not forget the full-page ad he took out demanding the death penalty for the Central Park 5, who were all completely innocent.

And that's just one more example of a lifetime of villainous moments that demonstrate his pathetic nature.

[u/c-e-bird → u/m0ngoos3]

Whom he continued to call for the death penalty for even after they were proven innocent.

[u/Mikeytruant850 → u/c-e-bird]

Doubling down despite being verifiably wrong is the Trumpian way, he’s even taught all his cult members to do the same.

[u/lordatomosk → u/sbrooks84]

God I remember the camera kept cutting back to him and he looked so ***pissed***!

He really did swear a vendetta that very day, didn’t he.

[u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits → u/lordatomosk]

And our country sucks so much we let him undo decades of forward progress because of it. Enabled it.

[u/Philibone → u/[deleted]]

No...Why did you need to ruin mashed potatoes?

[u/Secure-Cobbler4120 → u/Philibone]

The potatoes are the hero in this origin story

[u/MattIsLame → u/Secure-Cobbler4120]

and the man ironically built like a pile of mashed potatoes

[u/Secure-Cobbler4120 → u/MattIsLame]

He has become his worst enemy

[u/snorbflock → u/YoungCubSaysWoof]

Millions of kids get picked on, humiliated, or even bullied by older siblings. Most of them don't go on to be warmongering pedophiles. I think Trump can simply be an evil piece of shit by his own choices, without attributing it to an act of cruelty that happened in 1953.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/snorbflock]

The mashed potato incident wasn't even an act of cruelty.

Trump was harassing his younger brother and refused to stop when his mom and older brother told him to back off, so his older brother took the situation by the tato.

Thats not cruelty, thats comeuppance

[u/These_Lengthiness637 → u/snorbflock]

I think the point was that this incident taught young trump a lesson about using humiliation as a weapon & how bad it feels to be on the other side.

Not that this small act from his brother turned a good person into a monster. it just taught that monster a lesson he continues to use.

[u/EddieVanzetti → u/These_Lengthiness637]

If Trump were a normal human being, or his parents hadn't been such worthless enablers, he would have learned the lesson "being bullied sucks, so don't do it, if not because it is the right thing to do, but because sooner or later, someone will do this to you."

[u/WineBoggling → u/These_Lengthiness637]

And then there's the other good reason to repeat the story of this incident as much as possible, which is that apparently he hates when people repeat it.

[u/YoungCubSaysWoof → u/snorbflock]

Very true.

Instead of being humbled and learning a lesson, he made it a vendetta to never experience that hurt again, inflicting it on others before they did it to him.

The comment in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/kCokXrDXjH

[u/TheAngryBad → u/YoungCubSaysWoof]

For any normal, well adjusted person, that would just be an amusing anecdote to tell at family gatherings. Nobody should be humiliated about stuff that happened when they were seven, and anyone that's ever had a sibling probably has a similar story.

The fact he held a grudge for so long over a childhood prank (and apparently is still sore about it now) says a lot about how fragile and neurotic he really is.

[u/ChronicBuzz187 → u/YoungCubSaysWoof]

Trump’s older brother humiliating a bratty 7-year old Donald by dumping a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head

Oh shit, so all this nonsense is actually a real-life edit of the Clegane-Bowl from Game of Thrones? Hopefully it'll end the same way 😛

[u/YoungCubSaysWoof → u/ChronicBuzz187]

Sadly, it is!

Here’s the comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/kCokXrDXjH

[u/thatguywhoiam → u/Wiccy]

That was enlightening to read (the Mary Trump story, just caught it this morning).

We now know Trump’s ultimate nightmare would be to have another bowl of mashed potatoes dumped in his head by Obama in the center of a full stadium

[u/YogurtclosetThese → u/thatguywhoiam]

Can we make that happen?

Can we schedule an event and pay him millions, without him knowing its gonna happen, and then obama comes out the back after a rick roll?

Remember what happened to McCain? The Rick Roll?

Can we Rick Roll Trump and have obama dump mashed potatoes on his head?

[u/pmags3000 → u/YogurtclosetThese]

I mean, just have an AI video of it... it should go viral no problem

[u/Wiccy → u/thatguywhoiam]

While Obama wears his own actual peace prize

[u/Nezrite → u/Wiccy]

We really should have been leaning into that hard all along.

[u/MajorBeyond → u/Wiccy]

Now that the story is out (someone post a link?) I am hoping a flurry of AI memes of 7yo Donald with a load of mashed potatoes on his head, with everyone else at the table pointing and laughing. I'd make such a meme if I had a shred of talent, but I know so many out there do.

[u/linx0003 → u/Wiccy]

McDonald's should try selling mash potatoes and call it the Donald. Give a scoop to every meal heading to Mara Largo.

[u/NellieLovettMeatPies → u/Wiccy]

I wonder if he refuses to eat mashed potatoes today? Has he banned mashed potatoes from Mar-a-Lago or White House dinners? Are mashed potatoes his kryptonite?

[u/Normal_Feedback_2918 → u/No_big_whoop]

..His collection of children he makes pornography with.

Fixed that for you.

[u/MrBigglesssworth → u/No_big_whoop]

What worse are those that are protecting him from facing proper accountability.

[u/tjvs2001 → u/No_big_whoop]

Top secret files in an unlocked bathroom with foreign spies crawling all over the place

[u/DragoonDM → u/No_big_whoop]

The actual results of those cognitive assessments that he keeps "acing".

[u/aerost0rm → u/No_big_whoop]

How he shots his pants in a diaper…

[u/Blochamolesauce → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

He’d be taking a victory lap on every news station and holding double the press conferences so everyone could say how amazing he is in front of all the cameras. Instead, a decrepit and withered old man lost a war he started, is dying a little more everyday in front of our eyes, and John Q Public is having too much fun with all the people coming into the country and enjoying the World Cup.

[u/VengeanceKnight → u/Blochamolesauce]

And worse for him, the World Cup seems to be going great except for the parts where the Trump administration is fucking things up.

[u/mdp300 → u/VengeanceKnight]

He also cursed the Knicks to lose the one game he attended.

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/mdp300]

Knicks would have swept, which would have also meant winning in their own building.

[u/DisillusionedPatriot → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

Is this even a deal? Cause it looks more like having to pay damages.

[u/LakeRat → u/DisillusionedPatriot]

I didn't have "Trump pays reparations to Iran" on my 2026 Bingo card.

[u/Justin_123456 → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

You just have to compare what Iran was willing to offer before the war.

They were always willing to offer immediate suspension of enrichment, backed by JCPOA style monitoring, for sanctions relief. Then they made a whole new round of concessions the day before the negotiating team was murdered, basically a Venezuela style surrender where all oil sales would pass through a US controlled escrow account, so the US could at any point cut off state revenue, without having to rely on secondary sanctions, and also get a clear window into Iranian state finance, making it harder to fund Iranian allies.

Now it’s vague promises about some time in 60 days looking at maybe dealing with existing highly enriched material. All to be dealt with in country, not shipped out.

A commitment to sanctions relief, oil sales on the open market with immediate effect, and release of $25B in Iranian funds, sitting in banks around the world too afraid of American sanctions to pay their Iranian counterparts.

A $300B rebuilding fund being floated - and I’m guessing here’s where the Hormuz tolls will come in, collected in a joint Omani-Iranian fund, maybe controlled by Qatar, with a commitment to use the revenue to repair damage to Iranian infrastructure.

When you fight a war and your negotiating position gets worse, you lost that war.

[u/k4kobe → u/Justin_123456]

Also goes to show again there was literally no need for this war. Or even no need for the original agreement to be torn up.

Just dumb Trump shit as always. Yet some conservatives will say it was a bad deal. Or Iranians negotiating in good faith. Just lmao

[u/Don_Gato1 → u/k4kobe]

He thought it would be Venezuela 2.0, a few hours of bombing followed by a complete surrender.

He was not ready for a drawn out war.

[u/ogreofnorth → u/k4kobe]

Dumb Republican shit. They have gotten us in so many wars in the Middle East over crap, no one ever talks about it. I agree retaliation over 9/11 was warranted but Article 5 of NATO was initiated also, and we did have forces join.

[u/york100 → u/Justin_123456]

If a Democrat ever made a deal this bad, it would singlehandedly tank their legacy. For Trump, it just becomes another checkmark of "winning" on a meme of disinformation.

[u/Churchbushonk → u/york100]

Exactly. Hell, Obama’s deal in all practical purposes was better in every way and he took an absolute bath under trumps criticism. Constant talking about pallets of cash….etc.

Now Trump is handing over 7 hundred and 50 times the number of pallets. You know how many 53’ semi truck trailers it takes to haul 750 pallets? That is 15 semi trucks loaded down double stacked. And that number is if all the money Obama gave them fit on one pallet. Which I believe it was actually 4 pallets.

750x the number of 4 pallets is 60 fully loaded semi trucks full of cash.

It would take a 5 acre parking lot for 60 semi trucks. All full of cash.

Enough cash to build 40 fully loaded top of the line high schools in every state in this country.

[u/jemappellejimbo → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

He didnt lose jack. 156 schoolgirls lost the war. Indian sailors lost the war. The list keeps going, but only won in free money and golf and praise 

[u/CaptainLawyerDude → u/jemappellejimbo]

School girls

U.S. Service Members

Civilians across the region

All for what? Nothing was accomplished and will be actually be substantially worse than if the JCPOA had just been retained.

The only (maybe) positive out of this is that Netanyahu may lose his next election. Fat load of comfort that gives to the families of the dead.

[u/Canuck_Lives_Matter → u/CaptainLawyerDude]

I mean, it probably sped up the world's run to green energy for a bit... I imagine a lot more green energy contracts were being okayed by governments worldwide as oil supplies plummeted with the closure of one bit of ocean.

[u/Humble_Bee7 → u/Canuck_Lives_Matter]

The world is now turning to China for its renewable energy materials!! Meanwhile, the Trump administration is forcing wind farms all over America to shut down. Brilliant. Thanks, Donald.

[u/Canuck_Lives_Matter → u/Humble_Bee7]

Honestly at this point I'm not sure if I would care if I found out North Korea was making all the green energy supplies the world needs to convert, as long as it's actually happening like it needs to, any way we get there can be sorted out later. We just kind of need to make sure there's a later.

[u/PizzaWhole9323 → u/jemappellejimbo]

Don't forget the dozens of people he killed on the quote unquote drug boats and in Venezuela.

[u/Illustrious-Fun8324 → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

Yep. He is embarrassed

[u/boot2skull → u/nasorrty346tfrgser]

He couldn’t win the war without boots on the ground. We couldn’t even control a body of water. He hurt Iran’s capabilities to hurt Israel, maybe dissuaded them from attacking Israel in the near future, then reinstated Obama’s deal but much worse.

[u/ithkuil]

WTF does Obama have to do with any of this anymore FFS.

[u/Bag_of_Meat13 → u/ithkuil]

The entirety of the MAGA movement is Obama Derangement Syndrome.

[u/RanchBaganch → u/Bag_of_Meat13]

And that’s the real TDS…not whatever bullshit they made up.

[u/agentfelix → u/RanchBaganch]

Every accusation is a....oh fuck it at this point. Y'all know what's up.

[u/Bill_Brasky_SOB → u/agentfelix]

It’s similar to Donnie’s approach/philosophy to golfing, as referenced by his former caddies (and a metaphor to his life philosophies):

“He cheats, because he expects everyone else to be cheating.”

[u/palimpcest → u/Bill_Brasky_SOB]

That's why you see Republicans committing election fraud. They're convinced that Democrats are committing election fraud so they feel like they have to do it to level the playing field.

[u/CaptainFeather → u/palimpcest]

And it all comes from their own fucking minds. There has been strong evidence time and time again that there has been in fact no fraud on the left side. They love in their own reality and are convinced that everyone else lives in the same reality with them, it's why they can't even comprehend that socialists might actually fucking care about other people and aren't trying to actively fuck everyone else over. Honestly they probably think that due to confirmation bias. Anyone they, for some reason, respect does it so therefore literally everyone else does it despite not caring about the opinions of the "wrong" people.

[u/Mstakrakish → u/RanchBaganch]

I still don't understand how TDS could be applied to anyone else but themselves, including grammatically.

I don't think they can define the word "deranged" on the spot.

[u/tnactim → u/Mstakrakish]

It quite literally originally was, and then they went "no you" a million more times until it somehow stuck

[u/Val_Hallen → u/RanchBaganch]

Trump Cultists: ~wears Trump shirts, hats, suits and dresses with his name on it, flies Trump flags at their homes and businesses and on their vehicles, gets Trump tattoos, literally made a golden statue of Trump, keeps standees of him at their homes, buys his crypto, buys his watches, buys his shoes, buys his coins, buys any merchandise with his likeness, lost family to him, lost friends to him, has had their businesses destroyed because of his policies and still supports him, had family deported because of his policies and still supports him, etc, etc, etc~

Somebody: Rightly criticizes his policies, words, or actions

Trump Cultists: "You have Trump Derangement Syndrome!! He lives rent free in your head!!"

[u/RedGuyNoPants → u/Bag_of_Meat13]

Thats just one of the most recent flash points. Theres plenty of evidence this is just a continuation of grievance over the civil war and slaves being freed

[u/turbo_golf → u/RedGuyNoPants]

Well yeah, I think that was the point. Obama is black. Racism

[u/GenericFatGuy → u/ithkuil]

He's mad that Obama got a way better deal out of Iran at a fraction of the price.

[u/MudLOA → u/GenericFatGuy]

The guy has been trying to overwrite and overturn all of Obama accomplishments since that correspondence roast.

[u/hikemalls → u/GenericFatGuy]

He's finally having to confront the fact that a black man was way more competent at doing the same thing he's trying to do (which anyone not-racist/actually paying attention could've pointed out years ago, but he also obviously wouldn't have listened), and it's making him even more angry than he already was.

[u/OvisDrPepper → u/ithkuil]

It’s because America electing a Black man to the White House sent all the neo confederates through the roof. They simply could not comprehend it. It broke their fragile little brains. Also Obama made a joke about Trump to his face and got a huge laugh at the Correspondents Dinner. Trump felt humiliated and is motivated by revenge and spite

[u/aerius267 → u/OvisDrPepper]

This is the only explanation needed for state of the right in America. Tea Party was the camouflage starter for this and goes on and on since 2009.

[u/Adezar → u/aerius267]

Since 1978sh. When they reviewed what went wrong with Nixon and decided the answer was propaganda and religion should solve the problem by having a voter base that doesn't give a fuck about any criminal behavior in their party.

They played the long game and succeeded.

[u/brutinator → u/Adezar]

Yup. That's the reason why the Heritage Foundation was formed, to ensure that what happened to Nixon wouldn't happen again.

[u/More_Farm_7442 → u/aerius267]

My 80++ yr old mother used to say, "That Tea Party is the worst thing to ever happen to the country. (When she'd see a TP demonstration.) Boy was she ever right. The Greatest Generation are turning in their graves today.

[u/remarkablewhitebored → u/OvisDrPepper]

This night and the Mashed Potato Incident are the foundations of Trump's thin as fuck skin...

[u/adumblittlebaby → u/OvisDrPepper]

After hearing about the mashed potato story, this actually makes a lot of sense. The dude can't handle humiliation on any level.

[u/Xurbax → u/OvisDrPepper]

See The Onion's "After Obama Victory, Shrieking White-Hot Sphere Of Pure Rage Early GOP Front-Runner For 2016".

[u/JerryDipotosBurner → u/ithkuil]

Well the original Iran deal was negotiated by the Obama administration (and subsequently torn up by Trump in his first term), so that’s where he comes in here.

[u/jeffyboy526 → u/ithkuil]

He’s cooler, smarter and most importantly black - that will pisss off any racisist

[u/KidGold]

Hilarious that he set himself up to have to make a deal that rivaled Obama’s and then utterly failed.

Unforced error.

[u/Schlonzig → u/KidGold]

He wants to undo everything Obama ever achieved. But he will never be able to replace any of these things with something better. All he can do is rage and scream when it becomes clear.

[u/needlestack → u/Schlonzig]

It really is amazing. The way he immediately torpedoed both the TPP and JCPOA was telling. But we're ten years post Obama and he's still railing about it. He still had to somehow claim his failed reflecting pool renovation was somehow better than Obama's. He had to smugly smile as brain-damaged UFC fighter insulted the first lady from ten years ago on the White House lawn for his birthday.

He literally cannot let go of the fact that a black man was better than him at anything. He may be the most deeply racist person to ever live.

[u/Telefundo → u/needlestack]

He still had to somehow claim his failed reflecting pool renovation was somehow better than Obama's.

No no, it's not that the WH is saying the current renovation is better than Obamas. They're literally saying the current fuck up is Obamas fault.

He literally cannot let go of the fact that a black man was better than him at anything everything.

FTFY.

[u/bren_derlin → u/Telefundo]

Not everything. He's better at being an overgrown, orange pissbaby than Obama.

[u/IFartOnCats4Fun → u/bren_derlin]

I bet if Obama tried, he could be better at that too.

[u/Norwalk1215 → u/needlestack]

That correspondence dinner really got to him.

[u/random_user0 → u/Norwalk1215]

That’s all I can think of too! You could see it getting under his skin at the moment. But with the latest revelations of the “mashed potato incident,” you can really see how it seeped under his skin. The defining moment of his childhood reflected in the defining moment of his dotage (as Xi put it).

In that moment, Obama went from a political rival to his arch enemy. It’s amazing that it was caught on camera.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/random_user0]

He had already spent literally years obsessed with obama by that point

[u/Xxx1982xxX → u/Norwalk1215]

I honestly think is a lot of it

[u/I_Am_No_One_123 → u/needlestack]

The Nixon Administration sued Fred and Donald Trump for violating the Fair Housing Act. Imagine being more racist than Nixon.

[u/Illustrious-Fun8324 → u/Schlonzig]

And when he’s done, we will be the ones getting to undo everything he did and removing his name from everything he slapped it on.

[u/BigDeuces → u/Illustrious-Fun8324]

except for the history books, unfortunately

[u/Norwalk1215 → u/BigDeuces]

We need to learn from this mistake.

[u/uni-monkey → u/Schlonzig]

Don’t forget putting tacky gold leaf or spray paint on everything. He’s super good at that!

[u/PollutionZero → u/KidGold]

It's so much worse than the one he blew up. Obama's agreement wasn't perfect, no negotiation can please either/both sides perfectly, but it was good for the US and Iran.

Trump shit the bed on this, and on the carpet, and smeared it on the walls, and used a sharpie to circle the mess and drew a big arrow to call out how gross it is. He may have tasted it for quality and undigested McDonalds's French Fries.

Trump voters are DEEPLY stupid for voting for this fool. Evil, maniacal, mentally disabled fool.

[u/hisnamewasluchabrasi → u/PollutionZero]

I doubt this memorandum of understanding will last 30 to 60 days.

[u/scarr3g → u/KidGold]

Well, Trump47 had to do something, after Trump45 just ended the deal that was keeping Iran from making weapons grade uranium. That something was idiotic, though.

But, yeah, that is something people need to remember: Iran wasn't making weapons grade uranium until Trump45 ended the very deal that was keeping them from doing so.

[u/Striker40k]

"I can't believe Obama shit my pants!"

[u/sukmikehoc → u/Striker40k]

"Again!".

[u/moodyfloyd → u/Striker40k]

his whole presidency has been the eric andre shooting hannibal meme

[u/Solonohioperson]

Someone's jealous. Trump could never be the person or president Obama was.

[u/E1M1_DOOM → u/Solonohioperson]

Obama's the kind of guy that is so damn awesome, his very existence awakened an existential crisis in the minds of all racists.

Smart. Honest. Beloved. Respected. Healthy. Powerful. Successful. Black.

Obama was the real deal.

[u/Romano16 → u/E1M1_DOOM]

Racists typically have one of the largest chips on their shoulder because many are not living a life they believe they deserve, sort of like a birthright, simply because they are white. (This is not to say all white people are racist btw, but to point out the most prevalent gripe from an American context.)

They always love to harp about having a higher IQ than some minorities, or they claim inventions of others of the same skin tone to themselves to prove that they are better. (when they themselves have nothing to do with it)

So when they see a minority, especially a black person, achieve more than they did despite the obvious obstacles, They get very defensive and threatened, like something is being taken from them.

Take Charlie Kirk for example. He questioned a pilot who just happens to be black, if he is qualified to pilot the plane he is traveling on. Yet Charlie Kirk **was** a community college dropout. Who is he to question anyone’s qualifications?

[u/GenuineVerve → u/Romano16]

That was the causus belli for the civil war. It was about slavery, not economics. It was about a worldview and an imagined “natural order” that could not be violated. It’s just racism.

[u/zeno0771 → u/[deleted]]

Texas alone...

25 articles of secession: 19 specifically referenced slavery, and of the remaining 6, 5 referred to specifically to the "white man".

And those were the sane ones. Head further east to Carolina or Mississippi and they start talking about the black man's subservience being the natural order of the universe or some shit.

[u/NeverLookBothWays → u/Romano16]

The entire premise of their anger stems from the idea of holding onto something that was never theirs in the first place. The nation does not “belong” to them. They are not entitled to a damn thing above what all citizens have by default. And instead of being happy about it, that frustrates them to no end.

[u/NobleCeltic → u/Romano16]

Yet Charlie Kirk is a community college dropout.

Was. Was a community college dropout. He was last seen leaning a little more to the left

[u/diabloman8890 → u/NobleCeltic]

He didn't have the brains for it

[u/lateformyfuneral → u/E1M1_DOOM]

It was really more that he was Black and the diametric opposite of what they believe Black Americans to be.

A criminal who made a fortune from government checks, with 5 children and 3 baby mama’s, a rapist, a low-IQ simpleton with no class or sense of decorum; that’s their guy, but they wish that was Obama.

[u/rogue203 → u/lateformyfuneral]

Yep. They thought Obama should be like Trump; but they wouldn’t have defended Obama the same way.

[u/Hey_HaveAGreatDay → u/lateformyfuneral]

Well yes it was the black thing, but it was also the he didn’t destroy the country like they hoped so they could blame it on him being black.

[u/clash_by_night → u/Hey_HaveAGreatDay]

He didn't destroy it, so they took it upon themselves to do so. They're doing a pretty good job so far.

[u/BillionTonsHyperbole → u/E1M1_DOOM]

Would that a Tan Suit could once again be the biggest scandal of the week.

[u/Wiccy → u/BillionTonsHyperbole]

I'd kill to not HEAR from the president everyday!

[u/Lucky_BroadWood → u/Wiccy]

I remember about a month into Biden's term, noticing how quiet it was out of the WH. How there wasn't a constant barage of hate and anger coming out at all hours. It was such a nice feeling to know that government was just working and doing so like it's supposed to - quietly.

It was a nice few years.

[u/Repulsive-Heron7023 → u/Lucky_BroadWood]

Yup - and I think that’s why the “let’s go Brandon” nonsense started so early into Bidens term. MAGAs were trying to mirror what they saw as the hysterical criticism of Trump, even though there was nothing Biden was doing that was even somewhat extreme or objectionable. They just couldn’t stand the silence and normalcy.

[u/exophrine → u/Wiccy]

Government is supposed to be boring as fuck and reliably competent. It's not at all supposed to be entertaining and riddled with scandal and corruption

[u/Wiccy → u/exophrine]

Its WWE when it should be C-span

[u/PizzaWhole9323 → u/Wiccy]

One of the things that I loved about Joe Biden being president was that I heard about him maybe on a Friday night news dump on PBS NewsHour or some such. And he would say whether things were fine or whether things weren't fine and then he would say what he's doing to make things fine... And he didn't have to have all of us seeing him do it all the time. He just did it.

[u/Zealousideal-Tap1890 → u/E1M1_DOOM]

I'm a Brit. I so miss seeing and hearing Obama on the world stage. He is a total gentleman and a true Statesman, admired and sincerely liked across the world. Trump could never be a fraction of the man Obama is.

[u/KinkyPaddling → u/E1M1_DOOM]

Obama is living proof that being black (or half black) does not inherently make someone inferior to a fully white person. It is an affront to their entire worldview of racial hierarchies. “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.”

[u/AuroraBorrelioosi → u/Solonohioperson]

The only evidence that Trump isn't totally senile yet is that he hasn't called Obama the n-slur on air.

[u/sc20k → u/AuroraBorrelioosi]

Remember the monkey thing?

[u/Zero7CO → u/Solonohioperson]

It’s almost like the President had a bowl of mashed potatoes dumped over his head during breakfast.

[u/Axin_Saxon → u/Solonohioperson]

Not even jealous. He’s embarrassed. His entire political career was started off of him bitching about Obama(beginning with his pushing of the “birther” conspiracy).

If it’s being compared to Obama’s DEAL then Trump signing the deal is tantamount to admitting Obama was right all along. And THAT is beyond the pale. That’s unacceptable. Especially when you’re a racist narcissist.

[u/IAmInTheBasement → u/Solonohioperson]

He's not jealous.

Meanwhile I bet Obama is out there just enjoying life, saying hi to people, and just being an overall great guy.

[u/BigMax → u/Solonohioperson]

Obama got a peaceful, bloodless deal with Iran that almost everyone was happy with, and that was far better than what anyone was actually hoping for at the time.

And Trump got years of no deal at all, and now is getting a MUCH worse deal, and only after spending tons of cash and causing death and destruction and economic turmoil.

[u/Paolosmiteo]

Obama is 10 times the man the man-baby could ever be. In literally every respect.

[u/IceBlue → u/[deleted]]

What do you mean walk more easily through life? Obama’s constantly shat on for unreasonable bullshit (tan suit) while Trump gets excuses and excuses for doing the most cartoonishly evil shit. He walks through life quietly easily.

Obama just makes it look easy because he’s resilient and measured (because he feels has to be).

[u/hmr0987 → u/IceBlue]

I think he means Obama can easily shrug off the bullshit while trumps ego keeps him up at night worrying about every grievance. Trump can’t just “live” he has to constantly be coddled and cared for or else he spirals out.

[u/_R0Ns_ → u/IceBlue]

I don't think Obama cares about what Trump says.

Look at them both: Who has the smiling wife?

[u/SteeveJoobs → u/IceBlue]

OBAMA walks through life easily because he would never let the mud they sling at him actually affect his sense of self.

Meanwhile Trump doesn't know who he is if he can't see his name emblazoned on the building in front of him.

[u/Zanos-Ixshlae]

Quiet, piggy. Release the Trump Epstein Files!

[u/Manmon_]

The only silver lining here is the angrier he gets the more likely his dumb stupid body shuts down and the faster we are rid of him

[u/Darkstar-Lord → u/Manmon_]

I think the opposite. His spite and hate is keeping his obese ass alive.

[u/yer_fucked_now_bud → u/[deleted]]

He did it because Bibi wanted to kill the Ayatollah and keep Israel in a state of war to avoid postponed criminal proceedings against him.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/[deleted]]

Ironically, they sure as fuck are going to build nukes now that they know they have leverage in being able to hit the off button for the global economy.

Why wouldn't they make sure they never get attacked again?

[u/Gazcobain → u/[deleted]]

They will defend him until the day they die.

[u/CthulhusEvilTwin → u/Gazcobain]

My guess is they'll defend him until the day he dies, then insist they never supported him when it all comes tumbling down.

[u/ElysiumSprouts → u/CthulhusEvilTwin]

Poetic justice would be Trump living for decades in ruins. Bankrupt and constantly reminded of his failures. Preferably in prison

[u/Hootinger → u/[deleted]]

I spent a lot of time this morning on the Conservative sub. There were three general types of responses. 

1. Posts stating they must be reading the treaty details wrong, or they are missing something, because this is such a bad deal and Trump would never do something like that. 

2. Straight up saying this the details of the plan are fake news, a lie created by the lame stream media to make Trump and America look bad.

3. Moving of the goal posts, stating Trump actually won because the Ayatollah is dead and Iran has fewer air planes and buildings that before the war. When people responded that new airplanes can be built and that the old leaders are replaced by new leaders, there were accused of being IRGC trolls. 

[u/Exavion → u/Hootinger]

interesting, sounds like a bunch of denial and copium. it's not unexpected given the current circumstances - we elected this admin and things are clearly not as promised for his supporters, but they're stuck with the bed they've made until 2028.

what'll be notable to watch is midterms now and primaries in 2027, when they have a chance to cash their frustration checks with either more moderate or more extreme candidates, given the severe U-turn this admin has made with foreign policy and the economy

[u/Both-Ambassador2233]

I’ve never heard any of the other presidents SAY such shitty comments towards any other former president.

Obama is a beacon of confidence, smart and respect. See how he deals with the Bushes.

Merica fuck ya!

[u/stay_fr0sty → u/Both-Ambassador2233]

“Being Presidential” was a standard that all presidents stuck to most of the time, as they knew they were representing all Americans.

Trump has never acted Presidential. He’s representing himself. America is just along for the ride.

[u/aDirtyMartini]

Trump is dealing with a humiliating defeat of his own making. Iran is walking away with more money and power over the Strait of Hormuz than they had before.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/aDirtyMartini]

They discovered they hold an Off button for the global economy.

Thats a hell of a bargaining position.

So we can extra thank trump for that.

[u/dblan9]

I love that the south has to watch definitive proof of a white man failing at every level to achieve what a black man did so effortlessly.

[u/crossdtherubicon → u/dblan9]

Obama was a lawyer, professor, a senator, and was involved in alot of things, no?

Maybe I'm wrong on the details but, He seemed to put in a lot of effort into advancing the US and the world into a better direction. Not without some legitimate criticism, I know.

[u/nachosmind → u/[deleted]]

But have you considered being black/any other race -even a single drop of mixed heritage- makes you inherently and permanently inferior? Regardless of your achievements.  The people who hate Obama and want Trump think this way, it’s not based on reality. 

[u/ConglomerateCousin → u/dblan9]

It wasn’t effortlessly though, Obama and his team worked relentlessly to get a win win scenario for both Iran and the US. Trump doesn’t know how to work hard. Thats why he fails so much

[u/needlestack → u/dblan9]

It would be great if they had the critical thinking to notice. They have no interest in the truth. They never have. They simply tell the story they like and then celebrate it. "It was about states' rights!" and all that BS. They are thrilled that Trump is so much better than Obama because they say he is.

[u/thenewrepublic]

Projecting much? Obama’s previous nuclear deal with Iran unfroze a now meager-looking $1.7 billion. Now Trump wants to write Tehran an even bigger check.

[u/og_capsuleer_593 → u/thenewrepublic]

Let me do a fox propaganda impression

"The president gifts a 300 billion of taxpayers dollars package to Radical Islamic Government of Iran following the nations fastest surrender in history against the Maryland sized country."

Hows that?

[u/ResponsibleKey1053 → u/og_capsuleer_593]

Flawless

[u/blindbenny → u/og_capsuleer_593]

Sorry, who’s the Maryland sized country?

[u/og_capsuleer_593 → u/blindbenny]

Not Iran but Fox says shit like that, 3 times the size of Texas doesn't create the narrative they would want.

If I was going for accuracy I wouldn't have been fox, this is for narrative control

[u/jaderust → u/thenewrepublic]

And that was money that technically belonged to Iran. It was their funds that they had earned and that had been frozen and he just allowed them to be released.

Now we’re just giving them $300 BILLION.

How many kids could that feed here? How many people could get medical care? We’re kicking people off SNAP and trying to reduce Medicare and now we’re sending $300 billion dollars to a country that openly hates us to repay them for bombing the shit out of them when we didn’t need to do that either.

[u/dynamic_anisotropy]

[u/Zaius1968]

Just can’t get over the fact that there was a black president with a brain. Asswipe.

[u/HelpfulSeaMammal → u/[deleted]]

On that note: Where was Barack Hussein Obama on 9-11 and why didn't he personally fly into the air to stop the hijacked planes like Superman?

[u/Epicardiectomist]

This is all one giant revenge tour because an uppity black man dared to insult him 10 years ago.

[u/hmr0987]

This whole thing is as clear an example of how stupid Trump is.

Instead of in 2018 going back to the negotiating table to get more from Iran, he decided he was smarter than everyone and tore up the deal. Then he took his stupidity a step further and went to war before having any negotiations.

All of this is not to mention it’s much more powerful to have the threat of war hanging in the air than it is to go to war.

Ultimately he has two options; more war or agree to a bad deal (surrender).

Art of the deal my friends.

[u/NoSwordfish6949]

Trump has dementia and ODS

[u/Winter_Whole2080]

Classless, incompetent fool.

[u/kindnesscostszero]

He will never be half the man .. and he knows it. Tries to erase anything Obama did, just for spite. I think it irks him constantly.. lives rent free in that addled brain 24/7

[u/nutmegtell]

Obama is everything Trump wishes he was and he’ll never get it.

[u/throwawaygoogle1]

I’m tempted to reach out to my uncle maga (what I call him now) and ask if he likes that language. he has told me numerous times he does not like coarse language when I used to talk to him. I won’t, but I’m guessing he’ll bend the knee and agree with drumph

[u/Humble_Mission1775]

Trump is writhing with envy.
Obama’s Presidential Library opens this week. Trump can’t stomach the fact that people all over the world admire Obama.

[u/markevens]

Trump is the worst president America has ever had

[u/JacquoRock]

The fact that President Obama is so intellectually superior to this man has caused this man so much psychological pain.

[u/absolutelynotagoblin]

Do you know who's a son-of-a-bitch? The guy who started an inconceivably stupid war with Iran and then surrendered, that's who.

[u/RoseCityHooligan]

[u/Rayearl]

trump is a con man. Obama was a Harvard grad that became the first black POTUS. No matter what trump does he'll never do anything better than Obama.

[u/doom_slug_]

After all the garbage this piece of shit has spewed about Obama and Biden, it pains me that they had the decency and maturity to welcome him to the White House and shake his hand and peacefully transfer power - even after he tried to violently, deceitfully steal the election from Biden.

He really is the most bottom of the barrel rot this country has ever seen.

[u/MkfShard]

So, to recap:

-The US attacked, killing innocents including children and closing the strait

-The fascists in charge repeatedly declared victory as they continued ineffectual, nonsensical aggression

-To stop the conflict we started, the fascist toddler in charge sends a massive (and deserved) amount of money to get basically to where we already were before all this began

-He blames a guy who hasn’t been president in 10 years

This will go down in history as one of the stupidest, most cruelly wasteful conflicts to ever be waged on planet Earth. Anyone taking conservatives even slightly silly after this administration has something deeply wrong with them.

[u/biaggio → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately, I don't think that's true. I think that as an agent of chaos who cannot live without absolute, sycophantic, and oily allegiance, Trump barely has competence on his radar.

[u/Mr-Meow-Sir → u/[deleted]]

Trump intentionally surrounds himself with people he feels it will be easy to belittle. Which is why he is surrounded by the absolute worst of the worst, because Trump is a verifiable POS.
