A maniacal fury blinds Trump every time he thinks of this man

Overcompensation is a hell of a thing. Donald Trump knows he’s not universally beloved or widely respected like Barack Obama and Joe Biden are, and his entire miserable existence is one of constantly trying to make up for everything he wishes he had. Which is why he’s always making things up about himself that he wishes were real. It’s why he used to call in to talk radio stations in New York pretending to be his own PR person, “John Barron.” No one would say the things about him that he wished were true, so he did it himself. That’s also where his famous “Many people are saying” thing comes from — because no one was actually saying whatever came next. It was the propaganda he wanted to see in the world, because he didn’t see what he really wanted when he looked in the mirror. Over the last 11 years, we’ve watched him use the techniques he learned from his dual Daddy Replacements, Roy Cohn and Vladimir Putin. They taught him how to talk about himself like the person he wanted to be, not the loser he was. They taught him to keep repeating the same lies over and over until everyone believed them. There was a point where Trump crossed the Rubicon from knowing he was lying to not caring that he was lying, and then he learned how to use blackmail to compromise his former critics, and here we are. Trump knows he isn’t respected on the global stage, unlike his two Democratic predecessors, as evidenced by the way he’s behaved and has been treated at the G7 summit this week. Every other world leader has represented like the adults they are, while Trump, fresh from his lame birthday party slapfest that barely made a blip in the TV ratings, was sluggish, hoarse, and seemed fully lost every time the cameras were on him. It’s just so embarrassing. Look how weak he is. Listen to how weak he sounds. No wonder he railed against Barack Obama every chance he got, just days after a UFC fighter yelled out, “Michelle Obama is a man!” after thanking Jesus for helping him win his not-at-all-gay all-male slapfest in a cage while wearing the smallest and not-at-all-gay white booty shorts.Trump calling Barack Obama a “son of a b---h” at the G7 is the kind of pettiness we've come to expect from the pettiest PAB in history.The false bravado posturing is all part of the show for MAGA. Bullying is weakness, not strength. Bullying is rooted in jealousy, growing out of the low self-esteem that all bullies feel, yet can’t quite name. They can’t stand to see anyone they’ve deemed as “less than” succeed, and they also can’t possibly ever be wrong on the internet. It’s honestly impressive that they can even hold their phones with those heavy chips on their shoulders. Trump’s obsession with the Obamas is similar to his obsession with the Bidens, because he knows they’re beloved and respected on the world stage. Except it’s worse with the Obamas, because they set off every racist trigger he’s got under his thin skin. MAGA loves it, because they’ve been allowed to be free-range racists for the last 11 years, along with all of the other “-isms” and “-phobias” they deny having. Their fixation with the Obamas long predates Trump’s own assault on our political norms. An early proponent of Twitter, the petty, short-fingered vulgarian was at the forefront of the birtherism BS, demanding Barack Obama’s “longform birth certificate” and always emphasizing that the President’s middle name is Hussein. That’s just one racist trope Trump and MAGA still use, along with misgendering Michelle out of pure jealousy and spite. Michelle and Melania have nothing in common other than having the same first initials and the title of first lady. But only one has behaved like an actual lady in public, and it’s not the former nude model whom Trump met thanks to his pal Jeffrey Epstein.Trump is also fixated on the Obamas’ shared track record of success, both in and out of the White House. He hates always being compared to a Black man and coming up short, literally. Shoelifts McCankles can’t hoist himself out of a chair by himself these days, another reason why he’s jealous of Barack and his basketball skills.Conversely, the Obama Presidential Library is opening to the public in his hometown of Chicago, and this video of the Best First Couple EVER has gone viral for simply showcasing their connection and real love for each other.MAGA doesn’t have a happily married First Couple or a tight-knit, loving first family to emulate. Both Presidents Obama and Biden are fantastic fathers who have set the standard for being supportive parents while living under the world’s biggest microscope. MAGA can’t stand their goodness, because none of them had a good example of parenting in their own homes. They compare the Obamas to apes and won’t leave Hunter Biden alone. Since every accusation is a confession in Trumpworld, MAGA fabricated false accusations about President Biden abusing his daughter, Ashley, with Project Veritas going as far as creating fake entries in her stolen diary. Because Trump is in the Epstein Files and used to brag about wanting to date his preferred daughter, Ivanka.MAGA is boosting a clearly weakened Trump at a time when we’ve learned his entire staff is involved in the Epstein Files cover-up. They got mad when Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden, but are still making excuses for Trump's Epstein connection while celebrating the vulgar destruction of our White House. All because Trump’s racist parents taught him how to be a terrible person instead of just loving him. All because he’s in the Epstein Files. All because Trump is jealous of a Black man with whom he can never truly compete.And he knows it. Overcompensation is a hell of a thing.
