Obama has Trump's number... Jedi Mind Tricks

Obama knows that Trump won't be able to stand for Obama using trump's private description of the AHCA, so Obama used it. He called the bill "mean".

Trump can't stand it, said, "I called it mean first," in a public interview. Rs in the Senate sigh with frustration.

Good job, Pres. Obama, and done with a limited public profile.

Morning Joe has this story, using Star Wars as the allegory and Obama is using Jedi mind tricks on Trump.

We could have had her, a dignified, reserved president, but instead we get a pres with the emotional IQ of a crispy chicken nugget.

God forbid, the "Kenyan fascist Muslin (sic) commie socialist" dared to describe it that way.

tRump knew he could call in to Joe Schmo and get all the free publicity. NOW Joe wants to distance himself from tRump? Nice try, asshole. Next thing we will see is tRump opening up the investigation into the intern found dead in Joe's office!!

I don't think I went that stupid in 2nd grade. We have a kindergartner pretending to run this country. we went from a true man, a real man who was thoughtful, intelligent (more so than most presidents we have had since FDR) and understanding of the unique issues of ALL Americans.

And JoeJoe the class idiot now wonders how could this have happened. Asshole.

17. Remember when... I don't remember if it was Jake Tapper or Anderson Cooper - asked him

a question (during campaign) and his response was "He did it first'...don't remember who he was referring to, but the anchor said, "That's something a five year old would say" and Trump said, "No, it isn't."
So yeah, that's something a five year old would say. He stole my word.
