totally envious of President Obama. His inferiority complex is one of the reasons he pretends to be so smart. He's aware of his ahem 'shortcomings'.

Goes to show you that money and privilege cannot buy you happiness or class. I am sure that Trump's upbringing was not a good or happy one despite the wealth. His parents do not seem the type that gave him much of anything, except material possessions.

President Obama on the other hand, faced adversities because of his race, single parenthood, and his mother's death, yet he still managed to be a high achiever, by all appearances a genuinely good human being, and a classy, smart, and humble leader.

Trump must truly be fuming that a Black man from humble beginnings will ALWAYS be regarded as a better president than he will.

And remember the Con's parents sent him away to military boarding school. He was always a problem.

I believe whatever Mommy and Daddy did to him is what made him a "problem" and then they shipped him off to military school. They more than likely created the problem.

10. I'm sure she's selling a book...but, after "Fear"...I'm tapped out on trump books.

It is hard to say the name or to type it, let alone grouse through 500+ pages of only mildly scathing critiques of the worst president in our history. No more books. gahhhhhhhh!
It's getting to be a cottage industry, and frankly, I'm done even searing my eyes w that stooge. It was more than enough 18 months ago...now it's insufferable.
