Did Obama ever post videos like this?

[gusto79]

It just seems weird for Trump to tweet something like this. They've done videos like this before. Just seems odd to post a video about PR and make the focal point Trump. Maybe this is normal and Obama did it too.

He also retweeted this. Seems rather divisive for the president to call the left despicable. At least when Hilary said Trump supporters were deplorable she said it was only half of them.

Actually, Obama was the opposite. He campaigned saying that he would be the most transparent President and show everything on C-Span, but that never happened. Surprise! Now we have a President who puts out his own version of the truth. Surprise again!

No, Obama wasn't a petulant tween.

Yeah, Obama was really worried about the country and national security while putting that beauty of a video together....

Personally, I think videos like this are fine, but should come from a White House account, not "his".

How do you feel about getting the press involved in your self-aggrandizing video?

Obama's video was more self-deprecating then self-aggrandizing.

And I just can't believe the press was involved in a video made for the WH Correspondents's Dinner. I'm just shocked.

So now that we have your thoughts on Obama's video, what are your thoughts on Trump's?

My cousin called me last week. She said one of her friends has been working for Trump. Her friend said it's really weird what kind of public image he has. She said he's unbelievably warm and caring and how he acts in public is crazy. She can't figure it out according to my cousin.

You do?

You're right. His trolling has become pretty weak and lazy.

Why would you expect better?

I'm guessing your cousin's friend is hot.

Only an idiot would think a handful of personal interactions defines who a person really is as opposed to the 99.99999999999999999999999% of everything else the person does in their life.

In Trump’s world, this is BAU.

Even a troll has to have something to work with.

My cousin is far from hot. So I doubt it.

We're going to need a pic to be sure.

That hat he was wearing... dollars to donuts it's for sale to the Trump legions.
