I swear this all started when Trump was incapable of laughing at himself when Obama roasted Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner.
In the same speech Obama was also making fun of himself.
But no, Trump couldn't take a little ribbing, which was standard to the event.
Trump had been vomiting nonsense about Obama since 2009. Obama just tweaked him a tiny bit at an event that was generally regarded as a roast in recent history. And now we all have to live in an authoritarian hellscape.
Thanks Obama? /s

I remember that, I remember seeing the look on Trump's face and I knew something was fucked up. He announced his candidacy not too long after that and I swear all this is because of that one moment. He went after everything Obama worked on then turned his hatred on all us for laughing at him.

It seems like it's part of the reason that the response to Covid was so bad.
Experts in the Obama administration anticipated increased frequency of pandemic outbreaks with the advance of climate change.
Obama, on the advice of these experts, created the National Security Council’s Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense. Their whole purpose was to prepare for things like outbreaks and pandemics and to have plans and infrastructure ready for such an eventuality.
Trump killed it in 2018, I assume out of pettiness because it was created under Obama.

"how dare a Black person make fun of the great Trump!?!?!"
That is definitely the vibe I get.
Trump is wildly insecure. And he's so old-timey and racist that being mildly called out by a black man is like the worst thing that could happen to him.
He's been having a Karen tantrum ever since. And turned the Federal government into the ultimate HOA.

He’s a malicious narcissist, which explains his actions to a T. He doesn’t know who he truly is and only experiences himself as others see him. It’s not the same as feeling shame tho, he can suffer narcissistic injury, but that will only cause him to double down and lash out.

According the Mary Trump, he did feel embarrassment as a kid when Mary’s dad and Trump’s older brother Freddy dumped mashed potatoes on his head, causing laughter and teasing, and becoming a recurring family anecdote that always bothered him.

The infamous White House correspondence dinner where he was roasted by Obama at the cool kids prom showed him on tape rigid with shame and rage.
Given everything we’ve seen since then, was it all worth it?
I would have to say, hell yes.
It’s an exquisite part of history to see him get his comeuppance and listen to the howls without rebuttal, on the day that he thought he had finally been accepted as cool and fully accepted by elite establishment, and was reminded by the black man that he singled out for harm, as he had done to so many black and brown people and women bfore who just had to take it, that nope, no matter how much money you inherited or how high your game show ratings were, the world sees you as a buffoon.

He does, but not from anyone that he considers beneath him. His entire life is built around proving his worth to his betters. When he can't do that he lashes out like a petulant child.

The crowd was made up of the people who aren't boycotting The Kennedy Center after Trump forced his name onto it. It's 80/20 of a subset of people that excludes a ton of his detractors. With as political as everything is in DC, a lot of people on the moderate and left part of the political spectrum know that going there is going to hurt them.

If you wish to express your displeasure, don't go to this place. For anything. Or to see anyone. Also f Kiss and C**** Trick.

Good, this needs to be a continued thing every single time he shows his pathetic face in public. F****** loser.

Don’t worry, soon enough every station will edit out the boos, and add cheering for dear leader. Fox has been doing all along, and with the consolidation of media happening now, we are about to see it get worse.

Was he really met with loud boos or is this the daily beast over exaggerating like usual ? I hate Trump as much as everyone else but that website has me rolling my eyes at times.
