Summary

Don sits down with friend of the show Mike Nellis to talk about one thing Donald Trump just cannot seem to quit: Barack Obama. Obama appeared in Texas alongside James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa who are running for Senator and Governor of the state. Can Obama’s popularity and political influence actually help Democrats break through in Texas? At the same time, Trump continues firing off late-night Truth Social posts about Obama, keeping a years-long fixation alive long after Obama left office. Why is Trump still so focused on him? Is it politics, insecurity, strategy… or all of the above? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	I'm wondering why Donald Trump, why Barack Obama lived rent-free and, I mean, do we want to be inside of Donald Trump's head?
0:10.1	Why Barack Obama lives rent-free and Donald Trump's head?
0:13.7	I mean, he just, he can't help, but like he tweets about him all the time.
0:18.3	He just can't help himself.
0:37.7	Who is it? Harry Sisson put this out. I want you to take a look at it. Look at this. Yeah, I saw this. Trump accused Obama of attempting a coup in 2016. He says Obama worked like, what? What's wrong with this man? And is he jealous of Obama?
0:38.7	Does he want to be Obama?
0:40.5	Does he know Obama was a better president than him?
0:42.9	Does he know Obama's better looking than him in better shape?
0:47.1	Like, has a smarter, good-looking wife and much smarter a wife than he does?
0:47.8	Like, what?
0:51.1	I think it's all of the above, Don.
0:55.4	I think that Barack Obama is everything that Donald Trump isn't, right? Like he is young, talented, popular, a successful president, won the popular vote twice. Donald Trump won the
1:01.4	popular vote once, but never got a plurality of, or you only got a polarity, did not get a majority
1:06.0	of the voters. I think that when you look at every poll that's ever been put out there, Barack Obama is one of the
1:11.4	few liked politicians in America today. And meanwhile, Donald Trump is the least like politician in
1:16.4	America today. People hate this guy right now. The CNN had numbers today. He has worse numbers on
1:22.0	inflation than Joe Biden did at the height of the inflationary crisis, worse numbers than Jimmy Carter
1:27.0	did at the height of the crisis during his, worse numbers than Jimmy Carter did at the height
1:27.7	of the crisis during his presidency. So I think he lives rent-free because Obama gets to walk into
1:32.7	whatever room he wants to and gets admired by people who are there. And Trump can only surround
1:36.8	himself with sycophants. It's all he can do. But yeah, he's clearly not well. At the bottom of this,
1:43.2	by the way, I was thinking the same thing.
