In reply to the discussion: Topics of Trump's 55 insane tweets last nite ... Obama has taken permanent residence in what's left of his brain [View all]ShazzieB
(22,864 posts)58. Good grief.
I knew he was obsessed with Obama, but this is insane. If I counted correctly, Obama is attacked (singly or jointly with others) in 11 of these tweets, more than anyone else. That's exactly 20% or 1 out of 5!
The second most mentioned person is Hillary Clinton. Her name comes up in 6 tweets, 3 of which also mention Obama.
Check it out:
1. Accuses Obama of attempting a coup in 2016
2. Says Obama worked with CIA to overthrow Trump
3. Reposts tweet saying Obama is a traitor and that he should be arrested
4. Accuses Obama of personally making $120 million from Obamacare (wtf? Is right)
5. Posts fake JFK Jr account that says Obama wiretapped Trump Tower (Note: JFK Jr died in 1999, when Obama was a nobody serving his first term in the Illinois state senate. He didn't become even semi nationally known until he gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. These pieces do not fit together lol.)
6. Accuses Obama, Clinton, and Comey of treason
7. Reposts a tweet from a MAGA account saying they have secret intel proving Clinton and Obama committed crimes
8. Accuses Obama, John Brennan, and Clinton of sedition and treason again
9. Calls Obama the most DEMONIC FORCE in American politics
10. Reposts a fake Charlie Kirk account that claimed Obama blocked Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted
11. Claims Obama was part of Hillary Clintons emails in some way
In addition to all of the obvious projection, I think each of these late night tweeting sessions is a snapshot of Trump's current insecurities and fears and who he is blaming his problems on. Since he is incapable of ever admitting the slightest mistake, he has to blame everything that goes wrong on an ever shifting cast of recurring characters. He chooses these based on who he thinks has "done him wrong" as well as who he most resents for the unconscious surges of insecurity certain people trigger in him.
I suspect Obama triggers more of those surges than anyone else, because imo, Trump feels more inferior, inadequate, and deficient iin comparison to Obama than to just about anyone else. Barack is all the things Donald will never be: whip smart, charming, witty, respected, admired, accomplished, articulate, athletic, handsome, deeply loved by his wife and children, 100% self made in the way Trump pretends to be - the list goes on and on. Obama is also black, which may be the worst part for someone as deeply racist as the Orange One. Trump will happily cozy up to white men he admires, like Vlad and Bibi, but a black man? Perish the thought! How DARE a black man be superior to him in ANY way? That's how racists like Trump think, but most of them don't put it on public display the way T does.
Last night's tweeting session, like all the others, is ample demonstration of just how unwell a man he is.

OP
Doesn't matter. Thanks to John Roberts, Obama has immunity for "official acts" while President.

According to an article he was mainly reposting what his fans were spouting.

If true, more evidence that his staff is doing the posting/reposting. That's a lot of content to collect.
