"The election of BarackObama was the defining event of Donald Trump's rise. There are really no words to describe his hatred of Obama; this was when I began to witness the increasingly reactionary & unhinged ArchieBunker racism that defined Trump and his views on modern America.

He was friendly w/ many African American people of the celebrity variety; Trump really has no friends, only interests, desires and ambitions. He wasn't so stupid as to use the N-word, at least not in my presence--but as a rule he expressed low opinions of all black folks...

from music to culture to politics...Watching Obama's Inauguration in 2008 with Trump, w/the massive adoring crowd, incensed Trump in a way I'd never seen before; he was literally losing his mind watching a handsome, brilliant young black man take over as a moral world leader.

When Obama won the Nobel Peace prize, Trump went ballistic, as if the universe were playing a trick on him to drive him out of his mind; like he was hearing voices, the way he ranted & raved about how beloved Obama was by so many Americans. He thought acting Presidential was

just that. "An Act"..." MichaelCohen in "Disloyal"...eye-popping, jaw dropping, staggering. And so, so sad for the rest of us.
