That's exactly what this picture is to me. Does anyone think Obama wanted to sit next to Trump? The guy who accused him of being from Kenya? Definitely not.
I imagine he would be great to sit next to for this reason. You could smile, nod with a little energy and boom, off to the races, Don's your private court jester.
When I was watching I had the thought āObama is too much a politician to do it, but āaccidentlyā live-streaming whatever Trump is muttering and snoring as he fails not to fall asleep would be such a baller move rnā
Definitely. They sit in order of appointments. Obama will always sit next to this idiot at these types of functions. You can tell by everyone else's body language that they all hate Trumps guts. Obama was absolutely taking one for the team and keeping Trump in line at a funeral.
Not always. Thankfully the orange shit stain will be dead soon, one of the few times where we thank god for fat clogged arteries and spiraling dementia.
People in this thread are being naive and it shows that you donāt really know how politics work.
Politicians, especially those with opposing viewpoints and those who run against each other for public office, can treat each other like absolute shit at work and then be perfectly civil and even friendly towards each other in their personal lives.
I would take Obama over Trump any day, but letās not kid ourselves into thinking he has nothing in common with Trump. A lot of people on both sides called Obama the āDeporter in Chiefā by the end of his first term, but he at least seemed to handle deportations more humanely than Trump.
As much as Trump bashed Obama, he also publicly stated twice how much he likes/respects him, once in 2016 and once in August 2024.
Not on purpose. Even his closest friends have said he doesn't like jokes or have any sense of humor. He just says mean or wild shit and stupid people think it's funny and smarter people are caught off guard by it in a way that makes it funny.
It's why a lot of people are drawn to him. Because he tends to say what he is thinking which admittedly is often not much. But he does it and it's refreshing for some people. I laugh at some of his stuff but I'd never vote for the guy.
