That Correspondence Dinner That Humiliated Krasnov

I think a lot of what Krasnov has done, is doing, goes back to when President Obama publicly humiliated him.

1. I think it gave him the impetus to run for president
2. His push for the Nobel Peace Prize that Obama was awarded.
3. His efforts to kill Obamacare.
4. Bringing in the goon squads to Chicago.

Krasnov is a very insecure person who will hold a grudge against President Obama until he dies.

Probably the only time Melania has been seen smiling and relaxed in public, and at a funeral no less.

That was when he announced the successful military operation against Osama bin Laden.

I have a pet peeve about how so many people use the plural when they should be using the singular. One can turn on the news and listen for 10 minutes and find at least one example.

Sportscasters are some of the prime abusers.

Obama mocked the birth certificate thing first -- showing the "movie" of his birth (an excerpt from Lion King).

More specific to Trump -- the last line is too close to home

And then there’s a vicious rumor floating
around that I think could really hurt Mitt Rom-
ney. I heard he passed universal health care
when he was Governor of Massachusetts.
[Laughter] Someone should get to the bottom
of that.
And I know just the guy to do it; Donald
Trump is here tonight! [Laughter] Now, I
know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no
one is happier, no one is prouder to put this
birth certificate matter to rest than the Don-
ald. [Laughter] And that’s because he can fi-
nally get back to focusing on the issues that
matter, like, did we fake the Moon landing?
What really happened in Roswell? [Laughter]
And where are Biggie and Tupac? [Laughter]
But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know
about your credentials and breadth of experi-
ence. [Laughter] For example—no, seriously,
just recently, in an episode of “Celebrity Ap-
prentice”—[laughter]—at the steakhouse, the
men’s cooking team did not impress the judges
from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of
blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, rec-
ognized that the real problem was a lack of
leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame
Lil Jon or Meat Loaf—[laughter]—you fired
Gary Busey. [Laughter] And these are the kind
of decisions that would keep me up at night.
Well handled, sir. [Laughter] Well handled.
Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he cer-
tainly would bring some change to the White
House. Let’s see what we’ve got up there.
[Laughter]

ing “Trump White House Resort and Casino”

How dare Obama fight back after Trump publicly attacked and ridiculed him! He can dish it out, but he can't take it.

Of course, the other problem was Obama was better at Trump's pathetic game than he was.

You're absolutely right. Trump is a petulant child that is going to force all of the other kids on the playground to let HIM be first.

Our lives are being disrupted and put into turmoil for a child's tantrum. It's truly as simple as that. And this particular ugly, orange little brat needs his ass handed to him by all of the other children on the playground.

If he somehow manages to get the Nobel, I will lose all respect for that honor. There is NO WAY IN HELL that he is deserving of it at all, much less more deserving than the MANY other deserving candidates.
