Cohen Explains Trump's Obama Fixation: 'He's All Of The Things Donald Trump Wants To Be' | MSNBC
Every Trump-supporter is a lunatic.
@Cole Chillen It would be nice if they were responsible enough to look for the facts. They often don’t believe facts. It goes deeper why they cling to him as a savior and don’t see him for what he is. They need external power because the internal strength is lacking. He controls them with fear with him as the savior. And he has contempt for them for believing his lies. Narcissism 101. Father wounds can play a big role in susceptibility to narc control and trauma bonds.
Making a statement like this proves you’re ignorant
@Lone Wolf Not even a little bit buddy. Everybody who supports Trump is a lunatic, in one way or another. Ignorant, brainwashed, malicious, uneducated, stupid, spiteful – take your pick. But all lunatics in their own way.
Kieran Proux You’re absolutely correct but trump is still corrupt and a terrible president
Eric Morales I was called a lunatic for voicing anti trump sentiments
How we miss President Obama.
Please share just one thing O” Bummer accomplished in eight years.
Yes we do. What a classy family
@real american https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/januaryfebruary-2017/obamas-top-50-accomplishments-revisited/ I’m not holding my breath you’re gonna read it though. Guess it’s to much to ask from a tRump supporter. So silly. 🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
@John Alsop
Obama was loyal to his family
@real american exposed tRump as a liar
This entire Trump embarrassment says more about Americans than it does about the man. If there is any chance for redemption, you need to lose this guy and move on.
Generally speaking this is true and scary.
👉👉👋👋 CHUMPY . BE GONE TRUMPY , AND TAKE YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNT WIT YA AND YOUR CORONAVIRUS TOO THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT. 🖕🖕 HOPE YOUR NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE VACCINE OR CURE WHEN IT COME OUT. 💉💉💉 CAUSE YOU REALLY DIDN’T GIVE A ( DAM ) ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OR THE 193-THOUSANDS THAT YOU ALREADY TAKEN THEM TO THEIR DEMISE. 🖕
@notahouse I could not agree more.
@Tingle Matthews Most Americans??? Then why didn’t he win the popular vote??? Trump’s a con man. He became a convicted felon over his Trump University scam… People realize what he is at some point, unless they’re total idiots, and get mad at themselves for ever believing anything he said.
@Trisha Ann …. I said that most Americans know that Trump is the greatest president ever. In 2016 he was not president. And you are talking about the votes he got in 2016. SMH.
He is so jealous of Obama
i loved his year when on Trumps birthday, tiktok kids spanmed him with “All birthdays matter – Happy Birthday President Obama”
It warms my heart to know that Obama is still running around in Trump’s head kicking over trash cans, spray painting the walls, and pulling fire alarms.. All of which has Trump running around in circles on the White House lawn with his eyes closed, stepping on rakes.😂😄
That’s how I always seen it. trump is still thinking about President Obama after almost four years. He blames President Obama for everything that goes wrong. He is deflecting all of his inferiorities onto President Obama. The race card is what he use to lie to himself that he is doing great, without it, he is a big zero. In fact, the race card is what got trump in the presidential seat. And has kept him in that seat where he shows his incompetences everyday.
Well said giiirl😂😂😂😂
@robbie mcmullen if Trump ever had marbles they were given to him or stolen; then he ran them into the ground. That’s not a good look.
robbie mcmullen … you must have used all your brain cells to write this, brain cells that you don’t use when the fat orange megalomaniac can control your mind with such simple words…
I love that
He has to try and obliterate a real President like President Obama. He isn’t fit to shine President Obama’s shoes.
@Niel Someone is having a hard time handling the truth!!!! #idiotsfortrump
Please share just one thing O” Bummer accomplished in eight years ?
You won’t because you can’t. I will wait .
BINGO!
Obama is HITLER REINCARNATED

Yesssss!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Cohen hit-the-nail-on-the-head. “Obama is everything Donny could never be”. It really, does explain everything.
@Just a PuP trying to Hit 5k Subs Hahahahahaha!! ” Potato “
@Niel Troll, be gone pie hole.
50police “Obamas bbc” what does that mean? You’d prefer to believe trump, a proven compulsive liar, and bj, just about as bad with his u turns and lies, than the bbc? I don’t like the bbc, it’s far from perfect but being left is def not one of their faults. You make me LOL
Please share just one thing O” Bummer accomplished in eight years.
You won’t because you can’t. Trump laughs at his incompetence daily.
real american OMG are you serious? We’d be here all day. OK, just off the off the top of my head here are a few of Obama achievements which trump has reversed, dismantled, or taken credit for:
Boosted fuel efficiency for cars. Increased veteran affairs funding, healthcare reform act, secured US agreement on climate change and he WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE in 2009 for his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy….while dump claims to be a president for peace he profits from arms sales and encouraging wars abroad, he bypassed congress and moved to circumvent decades old arms control pact to allow billions in arms to Middle East and Saudi Arabia (a country where they legally crucify people btw) being top customers, leading to US bombs leaving mass casualties in Yemen and creating mass refugees.
“Whether you like his politics or not, you gotta admit Obama is ridiculously cool, funny and smart. And a great orator.”
“Whether you like his politics or not, you gotta admit Trump is a ridiculously horrible human being. And a sociopath.”
@WE MUST CONFRONT REALITY NOW ….. TDS much?
@Tingle Matthews You are scaring me because I believe you. I do believe that the anti-Christ is here now and although I do not know if it is Obama, he seems to fit the image so much.
@Ash Roskell IT’S EASIER TO FOOL PEOPLE THAN TO CONVINCE THEM THEY’VE BEEN FOOLED
I’ve never her Present Obama mention ladies private parts,or say vulgar language on TV either
Lilac omg, stop giving this Russian bot the attention it wants.
You can tell Micheal Cohen is running on the high of telling the truth. The feeling of levity when you no longer have to worry about keeping all your lies straight. Good for him
NoBiden2020! https://youtu.be/xuEktxGgJs0
@Niel Troll, be gone pie hole.
Yes. Telling the TRUTH is sooo liberating!!!
Bria Golden and finally hearing the truth, hallelujah. Anyone that’s brings trump down is going to be a hero.
Obama has something that can’t be purchased. The Obama’s have class something Trump will never have.
To add swager, education, good looks, God centred, fatherly, sophisticated, handsome, age d beautifully, proud, charismatic, got his own teeth and hair.😀
@Niel Troll, be gone pie hole.
Thank You ! Your comment is the first time I laughed out loud all day.
I needed that , thanks. Ha Ha
J Andrews he’s not even a billionaire
Trump has class, but its all low.
“He’s all of the things Donald Trump wants to be.”
Including a natural skin color 👍🏻
@Niel
Agree.
Obama is HITLER REINCARNATED

Truth!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That was well said and true.
@Niel bad idea.
How about #noFascism. ?
That’s it in a nutshell. What a wonderful quote!!
Obama reading war and peace.
Donny struggling to read the chick fillet kids book
He’ll have trouble reading the cliff notes for that book!
“Person, woman, man, camera, TV” (trump acing his cognitive test).
When 3 people who used to be close to you wrote a book about who you are, especially when all the books says the same things, means it’s all true and you can’t deny it
Agreed.
There are still more books coming! 😮
He’s not LIKE a cult leader, he IS a cult leader.
I will be glad when they drank, the cool aid.😎😷😇😜
The one good thing trump did is show us the amount of evil people we have in this country
Exactly 💯
This is true. And scary.
But at least they’ve shown their hand, you know how to defeat them, you can’t appeal to common sense they don’t have it. Vote in overwhelming nunbers, numbers that will defeat any crooked chicanery the Gop will definitely try.
@alanrtment porter Exactly 💯
Trump is such a petty man. All he is capable of is destroying what greater men have built.
That doesn’t apply to only Obama. Trump is destroying what men and women have built for decades, some of it irreplaceable. Trump (and his assembled admin) are erasing America’s past, and destroying for the future.
“His hatred for Barrack Obama is simple. .. he’s black”
Wow
Mt Trump should reflect on that because he is orange. You had two firsts in quick succession, one we welcomed with open arms to the U.K., the other we voiced our real displeasure with a large plastic baby in a nappy floating over London.
elijah Xbib – Its not a color issue its a SIZE issue….
Pretty much!
Worst of all: Obama has an intact family, no scandals, he has a likable personality and he is truly loved by his supporters.
@Jim Hultenius 😂👍🏻
@Darth Wheezius you’re absolutely right, if we’re talking about the past. 🤷♂️
This will be my first time saying this, but I can see the light! & I think the Lincoln Project is going to be a big part of that!
@loudaddy2001
There’s no reason set in stone that says Americans can’t decide on something different.
@Darth Wheezius that’s debatable 😔
@Jim Hultenius yeah thing he does with his mouth creeps me out too. That long slow intake of air,and then spews it out as venom. You know right then, somebody is going to suffer.
We all knew that. The clown can’t stand it that a black man is better than him.. I MISS YOU OBAMA 😥
Trump has devoted good chunk of his miserable life to trash President Obama one he could never measure up.
I honestly would agree , there haven’t been a real president since Mr. Obama’s term was over. I wish he could have served a third term.
