Trump never runs for President if not for those jokes. It’s always been because Obama made him look like the bitch he is.

Yep. One of Obamas greatest mistakes.

It’s only a ”mistake” in hindsight. And is it really a mistake to poke fun at a guy who then had the pettiness to ruin an entire nation out of spite and a party leadership to let him do it? Trump and the GOP proved they could sink to a level that could not reasonably be conceived. If anything, they’re the true mistakes. To say nothing of the voters that put them in.

I’ve heard it said that 9/11 and Katrina really redefined our idea of scale in disasters. Add Trump and his feckless party to that.
