Trump: Two years into his presidency, and Obama

...has maintained permanent residency in his head. Unlike those unfortunate refugees, hes incapable of keeping the O-Man at the border of his mind.
It took all of one minute and nine seconds for President Trump to go after his predecessor on Friday - just one minute and nine seconds to re-engage in a debate that has consumed much of his own time in office over who was the better president.
It was former President Barack Obama who started the policy of separating children from their parents at the border, Mr. Trump claimed falsely, and it was Mr. Obama who had such a terrible relationship with North Korea that he was about to go to war. Mr. Obama had it easy on the economy, Mr. Trump added, but let Americas allies walk all over him.
The litany of criticisms, often distorted, are familiar, but Mr. Trump has turned increasingly to Mr. Obama in recent days as a political foil.
In part, that reflects Mr. Trumps longstanding fixation with the former president. But it may also stem from the fact that Mr. Obamas vice president, Joseph R. Biden Jr., remains the Democratic front-runner in the 2020 election.
Poor Donald is still reeling all these years from the bitch-slapping Obama laid on him at the 2011 annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, when O-Man took him apart
plastic piece by orange part, and then refused to put him back together again.
That, my Kool-Aid drunk friends has proven too much for the delicate psyche of a racist, fascist, wannabe Emperor, with the predilection to lie, boast and exaggerate about his achievements.

What was really memorable about the event, though, was Trumps response. Seated a few tables away from us magazine scribes, Trumps humiliation was as absolute, and as visible, as any I have ever seen: his head set in place, like a man in a pillory, he barely moved or altered his expression as wave after wave of laughter struck him. There was not a trace of feigning good humor about him, not an ounce of the normal politicians, or American regular guys Hey, good one on me! attitudethat thick-skinned cheerfulness that almost all American public people learn, however painfully, to cultivate. No head bobbing or hand-clapping or chin-shaking or sheepish grinninghe sat perfectly still, chin tight, in locked, unmovable rage. If he had not just embarked on so ugly an exercise in pure racism, one might almost have felt sorry for him.
Some day someone may well write a kind of micro-history of that night, as historians now are wont to do, as a pivot in American life, both a triumph of Obamas own particular and enveloping form of cool and as harbinger ofwell, of what exactly?
At any moment in our modern history, some form of populist nationalism has always held some significant sharewhether five or ten per cent of the population. Among embittered white men, Trumps base, it has often held a share much larger than that.
Populist nationalism is not an eruptive response to a new condition of 2015it is a perennial ideological position, deeply rooted in the nature of modernity: a social class sees its perceived displacement as the result of a double conspiracy of outsiders and élitists. The outsiders are swamping us, and the insiders are mocking usthis ideology alters its local color as circumstances change, but the essential core is always there. They look down on us and they have no right to look down on us.
