Trump attacks Obama for statement on shootings ....

Trump seeks a new target because HE was criticized for his past comments....

According to Politico, Trump is upset and asks...“‘Did George Bush ever condemn President Obama after Sandy Hook. President Obama had 32 mass shootings during his reign. Not many people said Obama is out of Control,'” Trump wrote online. “'Mass shootings were happening before the President even thought about running for Pres.' @kilmeade @foxandfriends”

This is what got under Trumpy's dander what President Obama said without naming Trump or any politician....“soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments.”

How did you know he was referring to you? Throw rocks into a pig pen and the one that squeals is the one that was hit, maybe?

The issue here is that Obama never incited anyone to attack and kill Americans or anyone else.

But yes he is the pig in the pen who got 'lick'.
Would be nice if Bush responded but I won't hold my breath for that war criminal's response

to Obama and now he's mad because Obama isn't getting blamed for shootings that occurred when he was president - but, of course, Obama didn't get blamed because he wasn't out there stirring up hate and bigotry.

I've been wondering, too, why we haven't heard from W, especially since he's a Texan.

stating "of the media doesn't stop reporting fake news about me, these will continue", its time for a joint statement from all living former Presidents condemning Trumps words and actions. The MSM just skimmed past it when it was essentially a threat-justification of the shootings.

President Obama was duly elected by a wide margin to 2- 4 year terms. Trump will be lucky to have one.

Which would PISS off the Orange Pile of Shit even more. Obama would be even more powerful in death as he was in life. Obama would dominate the News Cycle for months, even years....The heat would be put on Trump in ways he never would have imagined.

Hell! The Pope would even want Obama canonized as a Saint. A status Trump will never reach.
