56. If you're talking about the how-to-handle-a-mad-virus info the Obama administration gave

the incoming trumpers - that they immediately threw into the trash, I suspect it's because trump was hellbent on shitting all over ALL THINGS OBAMA. The Obama legacy. The Obama Affordable Care Act. The Obama economic recovery - following the disaster the 44th President inherited from bush/cheney and slowly and carefully dug us out of. I think trump was hellbent on ruining or undoing everything that had Barack Obama's name attached, because he was still nursing a grudge from when President Obama made big time fun of him during remarks at that televised White House Correspondents Association dinner. Had everybody laughing at the donald, and when the cameras cut to donald's table, you could see trump, clearly NOT laughing, absolutely stone-faced, and quietly fuming. He doesn't like being made a public joke.

Sheesh - I bet he's never been roasted by the Friars Club - he'd wither right down under the dinner table and through the floorboards!
