And the shade continues.
Former White House photographer Pete Souza took to Instagram on Thursday to deliver a smart response to President Donald Trumps perceived shove of a NATO leader. This time: Barack Obama laughing and grinning with fellow NATO leaders in 2012.
Laughter at the 2012 NATO Summit, Souza wrote. No jostling involved.

(49,389 posts)the press like they had the plague. Trump shills like McMaster will be out front spinning the news. Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway will keep Trump occupied by playing hours of double solitaire, to keep his mind off of his son-in-law.

(61,650 posts)Look at the faces of the heads of nations gathered around Obama. Respect, jockeying for position, and envy. Obama commanded the respect and deference that Trump dreams of getting.
When the NATO leaders look at Trump, they see a fool that they can trick and easily out-maneuver. They see an ally they can't trust or depend upon. We see it in their faces. This is not good for the US.

(129,096 posts)She reminded me of one of my young nieces who was only 2 when Barack was elected and who (along with all her friends) were highly upset at the outcome of the election. Interestingly enough, I was around her age back in 1973 after McGovern lost to Nixon and I remember being "involved" in that election via discussions in school, so I know how she feels - except this time around, the "dirty tricks" are way way worse and international to boot!

Simply put: he is NOT the leader of the free world.
Never was.
Never will be.

The idea of President Obama blows away any such mental prop.It makes them feel even more scared and uncertain in a changing world.
Trump promised to restore the 'right' order and send the black man back to where he belongs in the social order.
If you step back and look at his campaign - this was the unmistakable message
Racists responded by voting in greater numbers and African-American showed up in fewer numbers for whatever reason. That plus our system of electoral politics = TRUMP

(18,124 posts)been schizophrenic because of racism, class differences economically, stupidity and ignorance of the deplorable class and an outdated electoral system. And by electoral system I point to the slavery era based Electoral College that all racist leaders have exploited, politically, always in america. The racist white male now, perfectly exemplified by a mcconnell, ryan, sessions, bannon et al. were truly pissed that an AA man could, by popular vote ascend to the Presidency. And the fact, I think, that a large percentage of the deplorable class just figured he wouldn't have a chance to be POTUS and did not vote.
Ditto on second term because they thought that THEIR numbers would show up at the polls because of the obstructionism of Congress and the Faux News reports of what a terrible POTUS he was and were wrong, again. And they were further pissed that President Obama as POTUS and HIS FAMILY could represent the finest of american ideals to the world with such class and style.
This ameriKKKan that is now potus, his family, the first lady and the ameriKKKans in his administration bannon, miller, jared, sessions, devos et al., and his cohorts in Congress are truly cementing their power so that a woman or any minority can not become POTUS, ever again. And they are doing this because they have a perfect clown to distract many while they go about their evil political machinations to the detriment of all.
I just hope the Democratic Party can find the will, ovaries and testicular material to turn back this challenge to all progressive and truly sane, rational citizens of America. We did win the POPULAR vote in this last election. Says it all. Period.
Please refer to the antiquated and based on slave state whining...Electoral College system.
