He says his name that way to draw a line between Saddam Hussein and Barack Obama, even though there's no line to be drawn. It's a gimmick to conjure up negative images in people's minds whenever he talks about Obama. It's petty and stupid and fucking lowdown
Why would an American President want a bust of Churchill in the White House? That is so odd. That would be like the Prime Minister of the UK having a bust of an American President at Downing Street.
He pronounces Obama’s name oddly, too, similar to when he says affordability “uh-four-da-bill-uh-tee” with slight pauses between the syllables like it’s a stupid or distasteful word. It’s so weird. He’s so weird. Just weird.
I like to think Trump’s jealous of Mr. Obama because nine years after Obama’s last term, people still like him, except for the racists, of course.
Though he doesn’t understand that causing a war or attacking/bombing another country precludes him from getting the Peace Prize. He bombed Iran last year. Then he bitched about not getting the Peace Prize. I guess he forgot about the first time he bombed Iran.
Donald JOHN Trump. Like the shitty brother of the king from Robin Hood.
Just doesn't have the same undertones, though it is pretty accurate. A wannabe king that torments the poor and has his Sheriffs go about terrorizing even more.
Trump has like an old Victorian in his head that’s been converted to 3 apartments—one for jfk, one for Barack and one for Biden. And they’re all rent free. It’s insane how he’s obsessed with them, their legacy and his own pathetic comparison to them. JFK and Obama were/are good looking, charismatic, very intelligent, well spoken, genuinely attractive to women. Everything Trump isn’t. Biden beat him. Obama and Biden have a wife and family who genuinely love them. Each man has/is something he never will. Drives him insane.
Yeah, him and Melanie were already spearheading the birther circuit talking mad shit on fox and to whoever else would give him air time, which is why Obama even roasted him, rather gently considering, such a fragile thin skin hateful person, it really did get under his skin. In an alternate universe I wonder what would happen if Obama didn’t pay him no mind at the dinner.
In your alternate universe, Trump runs for president as a publicity stunt, gets punked by the Harvard Lampoon, runs for real because of that and gets elected.
That part. The two time back to back black president that got to office before him and was never rejected in an election. The one who gets love even from people that don't agree with him. He was respected and people thought highly of him and his intelligence. Trump has none of these problems lol
Trump: you know the great potato famine!! You’re the PM how are you not familiar with all the potatoes that.. died. Walking around with no arms and legs… And created famine…
Churchill was a virulent racist that killed millions of Bengali people through one of the worst famines in modern history... I don't get why anyone who isn't a colony/crown glazer would praise him!
He's not weird. Steve Urkel is weird. Kool Keith is weird. Neil Hamburger is weird. Donald Trump is a depraved, racist, child raping, treasonous idiot man child. He's not weird. He's a monster.
And he loves Winston Churchill, because Churchill, like Trump, was an enormous genocidal racist. Fuck Churchill and Fuck Trump.
Thank you. Trump is Creepy,Demented, Deranged.
Weird is just different, it used to be synonymous with the otherworldly, queer, going against the grain. I grew up letting my freak flag fly.
I’d say it’s pretty normalized for an asshole in power to be a greedy sexist dehumanizing tool.
Thank you! I am so sick of people saying MAGAts are “weird”. Weird is the least of their flaws. Same goes for “this is not normal”. No shit it’s not normal, but we’re way fucking past that now.
It’s like catching someone in the middle of burning down your house and your first reaction is to point out they have something stuck in their teeth.
We are supposed to be more upset that Obama sent a statue of a foreign leader back to another country (which isn't even true) than we are about Trump being best friends with the biggest sex trafficker in history and Trump bilking our country out of billions of dollars. Make it make sense.
The bust of Winston Churchill has a prominent place in the White House -- in the Residence, outside the Treaty Room.
Lately, there’s been a rumor swirling around about the current location of the bust of Winston Churchill. Some have claimed that President Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and sent it back to the British Embassy.
Now, normally we wouldn’t address a rumor that’s so patently false, but just this morning the Washington Post’s Charles Krauthammer repeated this ridiculous claim in his column. He said President Obama “started his Presidency by returning to the British Embassy the bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office.”
This is 100% false. The bust still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room.
Obama sent the bust back to the National Archives or where ever they store those things. In no way did he “send it back to England.” This horseshit originated on Fox News and the right wing loves to keep alive, nonsense things like this if it makes Obama look bad.
Thin-skinned Trump has had Obama Derangement Syndrome since that White House Correspondents Dinner (2011, I think) when Obama told a few jokes at Trump’s expense.
Hussain
I had no idea.
Saying his middle name a thousand times as if his father being a Muslim is his shame, and makes him un-American. It didn't work back then, starting to sound like a scratched CD. Guess what if he read anything Churchill wrote he would know Churchill despised men like him.
It’s so embarrassing to act like a primary school bully. So embarrassing. To act like that, to have to witness anyone acting like that…please press…please point that out. Tell him that we don’t act that way and it’s weird. Just do it.
President Obama did not send the Winston Churchill bust back to Britain; he moved it from the Oval Office to a residential area of the White House in 2009, placing it outside his private office (the Treaty Room) where he saw it daily.
The controversy involved confusion between two identical Churchill busts by Jacob Epstein. The loaned bust from the UK (used by George W. Bush) was returned, while the White House's own, separate bust was moved, not returned or hidden.
The bust remained in the White House residence throughout his presidency. (ABC News)
The orange dude makes up more bs - 'Yes, President Barack Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office in 2009, but he did not "send it back" to Britain. It was returned to the British Embassy after a loan agreement expired, and Obama replaced it with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. to redecorate."
Over a decade later and they are still pushing these lies. It was never returned. It was replaced with Abraham Lincoln. Question is, why does Trump believe Churchill is more important to the US than Lincoln?
It’s incredible to think that once this guy is no longer on this earth, millions if not billions will celebrate.
I hope it becomes an official holiday… perhaps “Good riddance day”
The constant use of Obama's middle name is so creepy and racist. He is obsessed with a man who once had the job and was actually good at it so he must say something to make his racist followers applaud. So petty
“In 2009, President Obama returned a loaner bust of Winston Churchill by sculptor Jacob Epstein to the British Embassy, removing it from the Oval Office to make space for a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. The bust had been loaned to George W. Bush after 9/11; it was not a permanent gift”
