Along with this flurry of tweets about Shifty Schiff and Cryn’ Chuck Schumer this morning …
… tellingly Trump has this tweeted image (top of page here) pinned to the top of his Twitter page. Why in the midst of an impeachment trial in the Senate is he still tweeting about President Obama, and posting a photoshop which is supposed to convey envy? I think that if anything demonstrates his fragile ego it is his decision to pin this to the top hit Twitter page.
The image is meant to convey Obama envying Trump. It actually suggests the opposite.
You can read the comments to this tweet here.
I don’t have much to say about this beyond what I put in my tweet comment:
The ever-lov’n lying president even lies about his penthouse.
Is Trump, obsessed with Obama? Do a Google search:
I think Trump, for all his envy and admiration of oligarchs and dictators, really envies Obama the most. On the surface, and his behavior proves this, he wants to be feared.
However, deep down inside I think he wants to be loved.
Consider what Melania said about her marriage:
In 2005, the newlywed Melania Trump addressed a business class at New York University. A student asked the supermodel if she would still be with Donald Trump if he was not rich.
“If I weren’t beautiful, do you think he’d be with me?” she quipped.

Barack Obama was and continues to be loved not only by his family, this goes without saying, and not only loved in this country, but around the world.
Note: The first comments are about the original story which I posted about Alan Dershowitz. You can read it on my blog.

The reasons for Donald Trump’s major decisions appear shrouded in mystery. Why did President Trump try to obliterate Obamacare but offer no well-conceived substitute? Why did he abandon the Iran nuclear deal but offer no alternative that foreign policy experts considered effective? Perhaps Trump’s rejection of these and other important measures did not reflect disagreement about policy details. Maybe Trump objected to them because they symbolized goals and accomplishments of Barack Obama.
There can be no certainty about the emotional impact of Donald Trump’s unpleasant experience at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 11, 2011. Suggestions about a connection must remain speculative. Not even well-trained psychologists or psychiatrists can provide definitive judgments about the significance. Nevertheless, Donald Trump’s lengthy and extensive record of negative comments about his predecessor is so unusual that connections to the event of 2011 deserve study.
