President Obama Has Set Up Light Housekeeping in Donald Trump's Cerebellum
There are areas of the human psyche that are SuperFund sites, and the place where the current president* thinks about his predecessor is one of them.

I say this with all possible respect: Barack Obama has some formidable natural blogging skills—or skillz, as the kids say. If you've caught him during his recent tour of the 2020 battlegrounds, you know what I'm talking about. We all know Inspirational Obama, and Devotional Obama, and Better Angels Obama, but Snarkmaster Obama is having a ball out there setting up light housekeeping in the president*'s cerebellum. If you're going to shoot the dozens with this guy, bring your A-game. On Tuesday, he was in Orlando, and he took El Caudillo Del Mar-a-Lago downtown....
...
The obvious joy Obama is taking in trolling the president* makes these appearances appointment television, especially in a country subjected to two or three of the White House wankfests a day. It is excellent TV, and nobody knows that better than our favorite reality-TV president*. At one of his rallies, on Monday evening in Pennsylvania, the president* departed the rails....
Meanwhile, his predecessor shows every intention of cracking wise at his expense throughout the last week of the campaign. This, of course, violates the first rule of The Ex-Presidents Club: Thou shalt not harsh thy successor's mellow. And one more traditional norm goes into the woodchipper. But hey, the current president* spent four years trying to erase the Obama presidency from the statute books and from the country's historical memory. Obama is getting his own back magnificently and, hell, we all deserve a laugh.
