Why is Trump sucking up to Obama?

As we know from his past experiences, he can praise a person one day and vilify them the next. Whatever contributes to Donald's popularity is good and any criticism is bad. No doubt, he would turn on President Obama in a NY second.

What does he expect to gain by praising the President?

It's really not any more complicated than that. He wants to be associated with Obama because he thinks that "we" will appreciate him more.

Ain't gonna happen. Not that he won't try.

This is a Headliner for the News Media only. Every single person that has anything to do with this Clown,denounced Mr Obama yesterday and this morning for being weak and ineffective.

We are seeing how a Reality TV Actor using the Media as his mega phone. It is all about the optics and sound bites.
