Chump just called President Obama a liar.

Chump, you cheap dime store thug, you're not fit to carry his briefcase. If you were half the man Barack Obama is you might actually like yourself.

Trump has got all the supporters he's ever going to get, and he "needs" to keep them happy by ratcheting up his racist, hateful remarks ala his campaign stops. People are getting VERY tired of Trump and his whiny, 'blame everyone else but me' line of baloney. Trump's approval numbers reflect that, and I seriously doubt he's going to win any new supporters, no matter WHAT he says about Obama, Democrats, Senators, Congressmen etc. He's always passing the buck, and most SANE Americans know that the buck stops with him.

10. Psychological projection is one of Trump's primary psychological defense mechanisms
Wed Jul 19, 2017, 01:17 PM
Jul 2017

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting. - Wikipedia


Trump often accuses people of doing what he himself does on a regular basis.

Some, and I mean some smaller number of his voters are probably halfway decent people. I know a couple of them. The problem is that they have been so activated emotionally, that they are not thinking. They are reacting. They are aggrieved in a way that has brought their defenses up and has inhibited their ability to think critically.

Trump appeals to emotion, and not only to emotion but to "negative" emotions like fear and and anxiety (which are actually not really negative, but are associated with our most primitive responses). Those emotional states are then translated into contempt and dislike of others and then the people are manipulated into seeing this wealthy guy with a history of screwing over the little guy, as the defender of the little guy. It is a sick and twisted dynamic.

Trump is a coward. His rough, tough talk is nothing more than that......talk. His first instinct to cry "I'll sue you", then call his army of Attorneys. After they tell him - in a nice way - that he's full of shit, then he reverts to name calling. The classic coward. He's a very powerless person's idea of what a "powerful" man looks and acts like.

Same old shit. Which really wasn't a "lie". Obama, like everyone does, didn't qualify every. single. word. I knew what he meant. I knew I couldn't keep my doctor if he died, moved or retired. I knew I couldn't keep my plan if I quit or lost my job. Obama didn't need to tell me that. Those things are understood and not listing every possible exception, which are an infinite number by the way, does not make what he said a lie.

Obama will not take his bait. He won't lower himself and get in an argument with a buffoon. No need to at all.

The Trumpster doesn't seem to realize what a hypocrite he is by calling out President Obama. Don the Con promised he would deliver much better healthcare at low, low costs and: It Would Be Easy because only Stupid people were making decisions in DC.

He said President Obama repeated his lie about keeping your doctor and plan 28 times. Well, I haven't been counting but I'm guessing Trump has repeated his 'better and cheaper' lie at least 100 times.

As for Stupid People?? Just look in the mirror, Donald. A Stupid Person will be staring back.

The Repubs literally locked them out, plus Dems created healthcare.
It was the PROJECTIONIST SPEECH.

He and all of the Repub leadership are lying, narcissistic, heartless, racists who are taking over this country with a coup. Their followers seem to be multiplying. Scarry to think they are having children, breeding little Trumpsters.

Yep, Obama had class, intellect, and respect. He brought that to our country. He made some mistakes, but DT is the opposite in every way...no class, no intellect, and the most divisive Pres in modern history.
