Trump never, never, NEVER got over the White House Correspondents Dinner. NEVER. [View all]

I think we've all known someone who had an experience they did not enjoy...nothing life-threatening, no major tragedy as society might define it. And, YEARS after it happened, when they talk about it, it's with a rage and level of defiance that makes you think "FFS...you STILL haven't gotten over that?"

WE KNOW how Trump feels about Black people. I'm not talking about the Tim Scotts and Byron Donalds who carry his water and stroke his ego and live in eternal hope of a reward he's NEVER GOING TO GIVE THEM.

I'm talking about the African American apartment seekers who applied for an apartment in Fred's buildings, when Donald was first starting out, and had their applications marked with a big "C" for colored. (they settled the lawsuit out of court and "claimed victory" after the wrote the check, because they were ordered to pay up, "without admitting guilt" ).

Or the Central Park Five, and Trump's full page NYT ad calling for their execution...no retraction or apology when they were found to be innocent.

And he feels the same way about Obama.

I've mentioned this many times...all of Trump's ghost written books have a passage, and sometimes an entire chapter, on the importance of "revenge," but specifically "hitting back 10 times harder."

Trump is well aware of the sentence that follows a guilty verdict for treason.

And in his sick, demented, poisoned, sociopathic brain, it's the only "justice" that can right the wrong of a Black man getting laughs at his expense.

So when Lady Skunk Hair is spewing her bullshit about bringing up Obama on "treason charges," WE KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS DELIGHTS TRUMP.
