Stop everything you’re doing and try to imagine how the world would react if Trump said the same thing about Obama. What if he suggested he had “Daddy issues”? Holy crap, we’d be in for a crapstorm for the AGES.
But since Obama’s insulting Trump, it’s totally fine.
Obama spoke at the Obama Foundation summit in Chicago Monday and slammed Trump without saying his name. It didn’t matter though, because everyone knew who he was talking about.
He said we can’t solve big issues– like climate change- because “we are still confused, blind, shrouded with hate, anger, racism, mommy issues.”
So now Trump is angry, hateful, racist AND suffering from “mommy issues.” Got it.
Trump has previously credited his mother Mary MacLeod Trump, who died in 2000, for ‘so much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become.’
…
Since leaving office, Obama has pointedly avoided direct criticism of his successor, making a calculated effort not to utter Trump’s name.
But the gloves came off as he campaigned ahead of the midterm elections and assailed Republicans for failing to keep Trump in check.
For good measure, Obama also suggested that most of us are racist too.
“What prevents us from implementing most of the things that we would probably collectively agree would make the world better is not the absence of technological solutions, it’s because there are humans involved and that the dynamics of the society,” he said.
“Do we care about these kids? Because maybe we don’t…They look a little different to us,” he added.
Racist. We’re all racist.
However, he feels hopeful, because the next generation is so #woke.
“The thing that inspires me whenever I come to these gatherings… is that this generation behind us is smarter, more sophisticated, more tolerant, more welcoming, more innovative, more creative, certainly than I was,” he said.
“I’ll go ahead and speak for my whole generation, I think,” he continued. “Y’all are ahead of the curve. And you’re no less idealistic, in some ways, you’re more idealistic.”
Yeah. That’s what we need. More “idealistic” progressives with no fundamental understanding of human nature. Just great.
