Obama gets it, this is how you attack Trump and the Republicans.

You take their hypocrisy, bad ideas and turn them into a punch line. It works, it makes them look foolish without directly insulting them, People get it. FDR was a master at doing this.

Yesterday, Obama said something like this. During my 8 years in office no one was indicted from administration. So many people have been indicted in Trumps administration you could field a football team. Brilliant. People remember that. They get it.

and Obama is doing a good job. I've seen people say "Democrats do the same thing" and "Clinton rigged the primaries the same as Trump did with Russia". People don't want the responsibility of being informed and play on false equivalencies. This is a real problem for democrats that needs to be addressed.

Hard to find humor at a terrorist attack on Democrats or murder of Jewish People, but laughing at trump is an effective way to humiliate him and his cult. Also helps sane people retain their humanity.

The punchline, the goat, the target. His skin is so thin you could read a newspaper through it. If you want to get next to him or get under that thin skin, just make people laugh at him. He absolutely can’t stand it. So bring it on. I’d be very happy to see him be turned into a laughing stock. So that his very name is a joke. His place in history will not be what he thinks it will be. A leader he is not.
