Trump's Daddy Fixation
August 28, 2019 at 1:48 pm
Trump inherited substantial money from his father, which use to parlay into an allegedly much greater fortune. Yet he consistently downplays or ignores this inheritance, routinely claiming to be a 'self-made man'.
Trump inherited a substantially improved economy from Mr. Obama, which he has managed to parlay into political capital. Yet he consistently downplays or ignores this inheritance, constantly claiming credit for economic improvements which were already underway before he became president.
Is Trump projecting his real daddy issues with his father onto Mr. Obama?

Trump isn't projecting daddy issues, he wants to be like his dad, a fucking jackass bully.
No, I think he IS projecting. He's such a megalomaniac that he can't possibly accept than anyone else helped him with anything, ever. Just as he denies the help he got from his father, he denies the help he got (and is getting) from Mr. Obama.

No, he hates Obama because Trump is a con-artist who realizes that hating Obama will make him popular among the Fox News Crowd. You know the crowd that 5 years ago got mad that Obama wore a tan suit. The crowd that were enraged at Obama not wearing a suit jacket while in the oval office (despite Reagan doing the same).
I think it's often forgotten that Trump is a con-artist first and foremost. It's his best skill. He's a grifter, good at convincing people of what they want. Not everyone, obviously, but just enough for him to gain power and abuse it as he wishes.

Yes, this man is Master of the Stupid and Gullible. It should be his title. It's what he does.

I don't think I've ever heard any president give credit to their predecessor for inheriting a good economy.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
