Like usual on almost everything Donald Trumps ego cannot tolerate defeat. So he continued the narrative that Obama was not a true American citizen but that his (Obama’s) birth certificate itself is a fraud much later on after it was proven Obama was indeed born in the U.S.A.
So; Is it any wonder that Obama would respond to the Fuhrer as above?Trump gets hit with CRUSHING news as debate fallout intensifies…
https://youtu.be/Oypi0m8S5OY?si=UOavevPQ6bj_dlKRSteve, what defeat are we speaking about? It was prior than 2011, when D. Trump was but a simple politician. AFAIK, there was a current of politicians who liked to poke Obama and imply that he was not American Borne. It was more nuisance than other. Politicians sometimes like to prong the adversaries and, who knows, something might have been amiss, then it would be trouble for Obama!
The request seems legitimate to me, what I find excessive are the reactions, including your reaction.
Obama in that meeting was pretty cool, he poked Trump back in a gentlemanly manner and Trump at least apparently was amused by the exchange, but, as some observers say, deep down was pushed to run for presidential elections, and show Obama that he was able to reach the same level.
Again, I understand a personal dislike toward the individual. I too, do not like much Trump's character, his way of speaking, what he eats and so on. But we cannot turn a personal dislike into a persecution.
For heaven's sake, Trump has been called Hitler and Mussolini, the former being responsible for the mass murder of millions of Jews. This demonization is fruit of political scheme and has probably caused these assassination attempts.
Steve, you say in this forum there is no room for hate, but it may seem that, by calling Trump Fhurer, you are adhering to the hate narrative of the Democrats, which is pushing mentally unbalanced people to try and get rid of the new Hitler, Fuhrer Trump, to become heroes after having assassinated this heinous personality, as depicted by many politic adversaries.
I propose, in the spirit of this forum and the ideals supported by the great gurus, that we all become more respectful and objective when speaking of candidates, who represent each about 50% of American citizens.
We should not be carried away by our own personal likes and dislikes but analyze objectively the situation.
We should also try and not pick the cherries, that is follow the narrative we like and proposed by the internet. We should try and dig deeper and construe data, which, of course, it's not easy, is pretty hard.
I am realizing that the internet provides me with videos that are in favour of Trump. That is not reality. That is the algorithm, initiated by my previous searches.
You, Steve, probably have an analogous problem, but the algorithm is distorting your searches the other way, providing only videos against Trump.
It is strange, but true. In a way it's good, since I realized that , at least in my country, there is not a deliberate manipulation of data against or in favour of a candidate, it all stems from my own previous research. This way the algorithm works, though, it may provide a very biased view of reality.
For example, how it is possible that democrats are insisting that new polls are in favour of HArris, whereas the republicans are saying just the opposite? Who is lying? Which tools do I have to understand the reality?
It would be very, very naive to say that republicans are lying 100%, or that democrats are lying 100%.
