President Obama's public comment on Donald Trump’s White House renovations—comparing them to a HGTV show—triggered a strong backlash from Republicans, who interpreted it as elitist. In response, Trump launched a late-night social media attack, falsely accusing Obama of aiding Iran’s nuclear program, supporting Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and promoting Islamophobic views. He also dismissed Senator Abdul El-Sayed as a fraudulent doctor, despite his academic background. Trump further claimed Obama’s rallies were empty, contradicting video evidence showing packed venues with overflow crowds. A major poll reveals Obama is the most popular political figure in the U.S. at 64%, versus Trump’s 38%, highlighting a significant public preference gap. The reactions stem from deeper issues: Trump’s envy of Obama’s integrity and public approval, and his own struggles with self-image amid scandals and financial excess. The intense vitriol and factual inaccuracies reflect not only political rivalry but underlying insecurities and a lack of self-awareness on both sides.
Well folks, the prediction that we all made yesterday has come true. After President Obama slammed Donald Trump and the Republican Party, not only did Donald Trump have a meltdown on social media, which I'm about to show you in just a moment, but also the entire Republican Party did as well. They are so furious at President Barack Obama. They're so furious when he points out the truth. And really, I think it comes from place of jealousy. Like, especially from Donald Trump, he wishes he was Obama. He wishes he got a Nobel Peace Prize that he didn't have three divorces, that there was no crimes, no scandals. You know, Obama had none of that stuff. Donald Trump has all of it, and he just wishes he was Obama. Harvard educated. Donald Trump has nowhere near Obama. And so he takes out his anger in the form of long social media rants or talking bad about him at rallies. You've seen it all before. So I want to break down what Donald Trump said on social media in the middle of the night last night as well, might I add. About President Barack Obama will do all of that in more in this video. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story. And I want to start with the attack that President Obama launched against Donald Trump and the Republicans that really made them most upset for some reason of all the things he said. This is the one that got under their skin the most. It's the comment that he made about Donald Trump's White House renovations. The fact that he's more interested in home renovations than he is in like, you know, fixing the economy or ending a war that he started or just not getting into war in the first place. This is what President Obama said. So when you go through all this, the tally of promises, things have not worked out the way we might have expected. Although I must say I did expect it. And let's be honest. Does anybody really think this guy in the White House right now is spending all that time thinking about these issues? I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV. Guys building a ballroom that's bigger than the White House has paved over the Rose Garden. Put a helicopter pair it on the south lawn and there's gold everywhere. What's up with the gold? Everything is more gold. He's got the White House look and lights too. Now who's saying open a cheesecake factory? Just gold, everything. So it's like objectively, I think it's a funny comment. Of course the crowd loved it. Most normal people loved it. But Republicans for some reason took a unique issue with this comment. You have Matt Whitlock who works within the Republican Party is you know a spokesman essentially saying classic Obama snobbery. I am not kidding when I say this. They are trying to make it look like Obama is an elitist. Do they know who the president of the United States is? Cheesecake Factory is a great option for people who can't afford a private chef at their Martha's Vineyard estate. Obama said nothing about the quality of the Cheesecake Factory. It's called a joke. These snowflakes on the Republican side. You know they always accuse us of being so sensitive and then Obama makes a joke and they just lose their minds. They have absolutely no self awareness. Donald Trump is a billionaire who has a gold penthouse in Manhattan along with a golf club in Scotland, a golf club in Florida, a golf club in New Jersey, a golf club in Virginia. He has gold toilets. He's placed gold all over the White House. He is the definition of an elitist. He has used the presidency to make a bunch of money and they have the nerve. The nerve to claim that Obama making a joke about Donald Trump, you know, look, got the White House looking like Saddam who's saying open up a Cheesecake Factory is snobbery. These people, man, zero self-awareness, zero. But I want to show you the attack that Obama launched, or excuse me, I should say Donald Trump launched towards President Obama in the middle of the night last night. I'm not joking, 12.42 in the morning. So middle of the night, Donald Trump was awake and he was seething. He was so furious that President Obama had gone after him and not only did he go after him, but he also did it in front of this amazing crowd who loved every word that Obama said. But this is what Trump said. And I quote, "Obama was a grossly incompetent President. Once again, absolutely no self-awareness. He paid off Iran with billions, not true, and gave them a row to nuclear weapons. That's not true. He had the Iran nuclear deal that blocked them from getting a nuclear weapon. He said that crooked Hillary Clinton was going to win. He campaigned hard for her. And she lost in all directions in ways. He then campaigned full-out for Kamala Harris. And likewise, she lost. Now he's campaigning for a Muslim Brotherhood Gehottest. The Islamophobia is absolutely disgusting from Donald Trump. He's talking about Abdul El-Saya, the Democratic candidate for Senate and Michigan, who aids Jewish people and black people in Americans and Trump. And he's going to lose. Also, he's a fake doctor who runs what is considered to be the worst clinic in America. This is a guy who got his doctorate from Colombia and went to Oxford. You know, schools that only Trump and his buddies could dream of getting into, by the way. You know, these people, not the brightest. We know that. I, one Michigan big, have brought back the car industry. No, the Air Force base and everything else. Also, more jobs than ever before. Really, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Michigan doesn't want an arrogant open borders fake doctor, Gehottest, whose reputation will only get worse as more information is revealed. And there's plenty. Vote for Mike Rogers, he said he will never let you down. The consistent theme was with magas that they absolutely let you down. That's like their whole thing, right? I mean, you know, how many broken promises from Donald Trump, that's why he has a 30% approval rating. You know, he said he was going to make everything more affordable, cheaper, gas prices cheaper, everything, no war. And none of that happened. Zero, none, nada. So the whole concept of magas that they are going to inevitably let you down, even if you buy into their crap for a second. But this is completely unhinged. Completely unhinged. He's awake in the middle of the night. He's attacking Obama. He's attacking Abdul El Sayed. And this statement right here just reeks of panic. You know what I mean? The midterms are less than two weeks away. I think it's a week and three days or something along those lines. A week and two days maybe. They're very close. And the polls and the numbers for Republicans are devastating. And you can just smell the panic, the worry from statements like this from Donald Trump. That's not the only attack, though. He launched that Obama. He also, of course, had to go in this direction. When he was speaking at his rally last night in Georgia, he referenced the rallies that Obama spoke at. And he said the place was empty. Apparently Obama had nobody at his rallies if you believe Donald Trump. The corner of the press now. Look at all the press. That's a lot of fake news. You know, I saw a broker saying Obama was in Michigan. And the place was empty. And they were saying, oh, this is a large crowd coming. The people are trickling through. They don't talk about my crowds. They never talk about them. My biggest was 117,000. That's even big for Jason. That's also not true. He did not have a hundred and seven. I think he's talking about the one he did. And I want to say Atlantic City or somewhere in New Jersey on the coast. He has always claimed that it had like 117,000 people, which is utter nonsense. If you look at the photos, you know, does he really think there's 117,000 people standing on the beach? No, of course not. Obviously not. And that the numbers are nowhere near. But just to give you some concept of how packed Obama's rally was. Both in Ohio and Michigan. He did too. To give you a concept of how packed these rallies were, there was an overflow room. An overflow room for his rally in Ohio. And this was the overflow room. The overflow room was packed to the brim. There's not an empty seat in the overflow room. And that's how you know it was packed. [applause] I just have to know. Just out of curiosity. This isn't Michigan, by the way. My apologies. This is Michigan. I just have to know. Does this look empty to you? Can you, like, let's just, can we just quick? Is there an empty seat? There's not an empty seat. This is the overflow room. So Obama's rally was objectively huge. The numbers show that. The video show that, right? And this is what Aaron Rupar said about him speaking to the overflow crowd. There is no other current or former politician in the United States who gets this sort of response. And listen to the response he gets. Make sure he knows where I go. [applause] So that we need for you. You are, you are the careiest of enthusiasts. [applause] Man, it's nice of him to go out there and speak to the overflow crowd. A lot of people wouldn't do that. President Obama did. But that's the overflow crowd. We also have some images, of course, from the venue. And yeah. Doesn't look packed to me. There's no empty seats. No empty seats, like, in a Trump rally. You know, Donald Trump's rallies. You know, they have entire sections completely empty now. It's not like we're just picking on one empty seat and saying, "Ha-ha. Nobody's there." There's entire sections of Donald Trump's venues now where they're empty. There's nobody there. And it's just embarrassing. And so Donald Trump sees this and he's really kind of upset about it because he's
jealous about Obama. And also maybe more importantly than that, this is what drives him nuts. The Ugov, which is a highly rated polling firm, has an ongoing poll of the most popular political figures in America. President Obama is number one. He's sitting at 64%. You never hear those kind of numbers anymore for a political figure in America. 64%. Let's go find Donald Trump. Okay, so we're still scrolling. We're still, we're still scrolling. We're still scrolling. Oh, there he is. It's sitting at 38%. 38% is his approval rating across the United States of America. That's where Donald Trump is sitting. So you can see, you know, Obama's at one Trump is in the late 20s. It gets, it gets to under his skin. So I will leave the video there. I just wanted to talk about this a little bit.
