Recently, it has become trendy among the left to liken Donald Trump to Hitler. It may sound like a childish and unintellectual argument, but that hasn’t stopped high-profile personalities like Cher, Louis C.K., and Sarah Silverman from making the outlandish comparison.
While they may represent the bottom of the barrel when it comes to political celebrities, now Barack Obama, the ultimate celebrity politician, is making very similar claims. Rather than call Trump Hitler, however, Obama is updating the well-worn insult and is comparing him to a jihadist instead.
The schoolyard comparison likely represents how little Obama can legitimately complain about Trump or his supporters. After all, much of the anger that has fueled Trump’s stratospheric rise was a result of eight years of failed leadership under Obama.
Rather than admit his failures, Obama has sunk to the lowest form of political argument.
See how the president made the subtle — but insulting — dig during his speech to the Democratic national Convention on the next page:
Well he should know since he is a terrorist. GO TRUMP
TRUMP IS NOTHING LIKE YOU, OBAMA
King$#%&!@*is the terrorist prison time for obumhole
That’s just a real terrorist projecting his own character traits on someone else! The worst president in the history of this nation!
And TRUMP will WIN
Obama belongs in jail with Hillary Clinton
you ae a terrororist I did NOT vote for Obama.
He a horses$#%&!@*!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then how about sending Trump weapons
He is so childish. And can he pout. You can tell that he was an only child.
