Donald Trump posts youthful photo of himself and Barack Obama
Trump took to Truth Social to share a black-and-white picture of him and Obama, comparing them side-by-side. On the left hand, the image was of Trump at the New York Military Academy at 20 years old. However, the photo was reportedly taken when he was 17 and graduated from high school in the 1960s. It remains unclear as to why Trump mislabeled it. On the right-hand side, there was a picture of Obama wearing a hat and appearing to hold a fake cigarette at 18 years old. It was likely from his freshman year at Occidental College in Los Angeles. This post also comes after Obama called out over his “obsession” with him.
The public immediately took to social media to mock Trump’s latest comparison. One user wrote, “… and Trump’s jealous obsession with Obama continues.” Another added, “Obama just lives rent free in Trump’s head 24/7 don’t he?” A third person noted, “Obama, even back than was a cook, classy looking guy!” Other reactions also included “That’s called why are you so obsessed with me,” “Dude you never served but. President Obama DID RECEIVE a Nobel Price,” and “Look, I’m not even the biggest Obama fan, but I feel like I want to get his pic in poster size, frame it, and put it in my wall. He literally does look cool af lol.”
In a recent conversation on the All the Smoke podcast, co-host Matt Barnes brought up Trump’s name without referring to him, just calling him “the leader of this current administration.” He asked Obama how he manages to deal with Trump’s constant criticism, negativity, and racism. The former president said, “The thing about it is, look, you’ve gotta ask him what it is.” When Barnes said “obsession,” Obama immediately agreed to it before adding, “I obviously have a room in his head. A suite in his head.”
