Only to stab in the back on social media for political gain - in his case, for his dictatorial stay-in-power-at-all-cost to keep his obscene corruption going, not for the good of the country.

8. Pres. Obama is always more generous towards Chump than Chump ever deserves

You have to wonder where his patience comes from....

Chump has been a rude asshole his entire life, but his behavior towards Obama (even now) is the worst form of bullying I've ever seen from an adult male. But Obama just answers with cool voice, talks in his patient way, and kind of inwardly smiles a bit. I don't know how does it.

9. Because Obama realizes

That when he reacts in that manner it makes Trump look pathetic in comparison and only makes Trump angrier. He won't get down in the mud with the pig.

Obama just is an incredibly calm and patient person. I don't know how he acquired that quality or if he was just born with it, but his ability to keep his cool in situations that would drive some people nuts is truly outstanding. That's why he acquired the nickname "No Drama Obama."

He and Schlump are polar opposites in that respect (as well as many others). It always makes me smile to think about how Obama's unflappable reaction to Schlump's attacks must get under that orange skin. 😁
