17 Times Trump Tweeted About Obama's Presidency That Could Be About His Own

[Initech]

Winning the 2016 presidential election hasn’t changed how much Donald Trump takes to Twitter to speak his mind. And before he was tweeting about how historic his not-that-historic Electoral College win was, he was tweeting about what a bad president Barack Obama made.

Trump has a backlog of years of tweets aimed at complaining about Obama’s job performance, his vacations, and of course, the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. But now that Trump is president, he has his own batch of criticisms to deal with. It also doesn’t help that a lot of the things Trump criticized Obama about are things Trump has done, or is doing, himself. Other Trump tweets sound like they could easily apply to the Trump presidency.

Here are 17 Twitter moments in which a mean Trump tweet about Obama could have been a mean Trump tweet about Trump — starting with the ones about Obama’s 2012 election.

Reminder: Trump lost the popular vote against Hillary Clinton by almost 3 million votes. He is president thanks to the Electoral College.

Trump’s position on Russia has been soft since before he took the presidency, and it’s well-documented that he’s never had a mean word to say about President Vladimir Putin. Like when he talked to Bill O’Reilly.

1. I have never seen anyone project to the level that this guy does.

What an odd world he inhabits, dark and distrustful, full of paranoia, ascribing his own motivations to everyone around him.....

2. Maybe the GOP pundits / enablers like O'Reilly and Hannity.

Bill Maher had a good new rule about this last year:

3. About projection

Most humans do this. We assume others see the world the same way we do and would respond the same way we would. People who lie, believe others lie. They trap themselves in a reality where they are unable to believe anything anyone tells them. Ever notice how the person in a relationship who is cheating is the one accusing the other of cheating? People who believe others are out to harm them, how often are they nurturing.
