Donald Trump has had a lot of things on his mind for the past few days. He exploded with rage at Sen. John McCain for refusing to vote to end health care for millions of Americans. He attacked black athletes for kneeling in protest of police brutality and unsuccessfully demanded a boycott of the NFL. […]

The Republican Party is like a dog with a bone, except the bone happens to be the health and welfare of millions of Americans. The latest attempt to rollback Obamacare manages to be far more cruel and more devastating to the fabric of the nation than its precedents. As Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut […]

Frustration with being unable to get any of their conservative agenda through Congress, despite control of the body and the White House, has Republican legislators going back to the well of bashing President Barack Obama. While Donald Trump is filled with envy for his popular two-term predecessor, motivating some of his hateful policies like the […]

In the wake of Donald Trump’s decision to end DACA, the program for 800,000 immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, the GOP is now pushing a new justification for why Trump’s decision is not as racist as it looks. Republicans now claim they support protecting “Dreamers,” but President Barack Obama created the program illegally, so […]

President Barack Obama described Donald Trump’s decision to repeal policies that protect the children of immigrants as a “moral question” that Trump has clearly failed and “contrary to our spirit” as Americans. “To target these young people is wrong – because they have done nothing wrong,” Obama said in a statement on Facebook. “It is […]

Donald Trump’s fixation on President Barack Obama is no secret. Whether desperately retweeting unscientific Twitter polls that say Trump is a better president; alienating European allies, who are all too aware that Trump’s reckless actions on foreign policy are “driven by an obsession with unravelling” Obama’s work; or wasting taxpayer money to try to prove […]

President Barack Obama once again showed that even after his time in office, his ability to be presidential far exceeds Donald Trump’s. As citizens of Texas suffered from the devastating flooding brought on by Hurricane Harvey, Obama called on the 94-plus million people who follow him on Twitter to help by donating to the Red […]

Donald Trump views himself as a television star and a celebrity, which is why he spent so much of the 2016 campaign bragging about his ability to spike TV ratings. But increasingly, his star has faded as more and more American viewers are tuning him out. And — in a fact sure to get at Trump more […]

No good deed done under President Barack Obama goes unpunished by his petty and jealous successor. Donald Trump, whose bizarre obsession with the far more popular and successful Obama, is world-famous — not to mention highly destructive — is intent on undoing Obama’s legacy, regardless of the harm his obsession inflicts. His latest target? A […]

Insecurity remains a cornerstone trait for Donald Trump, and lately he’s been advertising his own self-doubts by obsessing over his predecessor, President Barack Obama. Whether that’s now being spurred on by the stress of the unfolding North Korea crisis, Trump’s tumbling approval rating, the enveloping Russia investigation, or his inability to get any major legislation […]

President Barack Obama celebrated the survival of his signature health care law, as Donald Trump and the Republican Party licked their wounds after their humiliating failure to repeal Obamacare. The popular former commander in chief took the high road, despite the attempt by his unpopular successor and the Republican Party to cut Medicaid by over […]

The evidence Russia sought to disrupt the 2016 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, and that members of Trump’s team were aware and complicit, has gotten stronger by the week and is now undeniable. But in a deflection worthy of Kremlin propaganda, Republicans have repeatedly tried to protect Trump by changing the subject — […]

It comes as no surprise to anyone paying attention, but it’s still a stunning contrast to behold. A recent photo-op with Donald Trump and the most recent class of White House interns shows a major gap in diversity between his administration and that of President Barack Obama. In the “team photo,” only two of the […]

Donald Trump is an unpopular president who obtained his position by failing to earn a plurality of votes with the collaboration of a hostile foreign power. As the reality of his complete inability to lead the United States and the world hits home in a rolling train wreck that reaches into nearly aspect of their […]

Donald Trump and his allies triggered an investigation by the Office of the Inspector General that ended up proving, at taxpayers’ expense, that he is not nearly as popular as former President Barack Obama. After Trump’s sparsely attended inauguration, he and his team put on a full-court press to prove that it was the most […]

Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow issued a bizarre series of tweets calling on former President Barack Obama to apologize for Russia’s attempts to sway the 2016 presidential election for his client. It’s quite a pivot from the same team that has repeatedly dismissed Russia’s interference in our election, and even claimed the story is […]

Former President Barack Obama tore into the health care bill finally revealed by Senate Republicans in a Facebook post. Arguing well beyond the 140-character Twitter rants that Donald Trump has relied on, Obama dismantled the Republican argument for dismantling health care reform, and pointed out the devastating effect it would have if enacted into law. […]

As if America needed yet another reason to miss President Obama, Donald Trump gave us one on Father’s Day. While President Obama sent a morning tweet saying how proud he is to be Sasha and Malia’s dad, and wishing other fathers a happy Father’s Day, Trump used his Twitter account as he always does: to […]

It was clear early on in the presidential campaign that Donald Trump was more interested in winning the election than in actually doing the daily work involved with the job, as the laughably thin list of his so-called “historic accomplishments” during his first 100 days shows. He has demonstrated his mental laziness and utter lack of curiosity […]

House Speaker Paul Ryan wants the American people to know that they should excuse Donald Trump’s multiple, ongoing failures during his presidency because he is “new to this.” Ryan made his remark about Trump during his weekly news conference, conducted while former FBI director James Comey was detailing how Trump repeatedly leaned on him to […]

Appearing before thousands who had turned out to hear him at an event in Montreal, Canada, former President Barack Obama took Donald Trump to task for destructive tenure thus far. But he also evinced his characteristic hopefulness, asserting, “I’m convinced the future does not belong to strongmen.” The Toronto Star reported that the statement “garnered […]

Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) decided to reach for the absurd at a town hall meeting with his constituents by comparing the serious concerns they expressed to him about Donald Trump’s missing tax returns and his ties to Russian elements to the “birther” conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States. Denham was […]

Donald Trump kicked off the week by holding his first-ever White House Easter Egg Roll, and forgetting to hold his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. Nevertheless, the event managed to earn him fair-to-glowing press from the likes of The New York Times and The Washington Post, the latter of which reported that […]

It does not take supernatural powers of perception to see that Donald Trump’s first months in office have been a string of unmitigated disasters that have sunk his approval ratings to historic lows. But with corporate media expectations also at rock-bottom lows, we can count on many attempts to put some kind of positive gloss […]

Former President Barack Obama slammed Donald Trump and his decision to drop out of the historic Paris climate agreement, announced Thursday in a bizarre White House Rose Garden ceremony that included a performance by the U.S. Marine Band, possibly to drown out protesters. In a statement, Obama pointed out that it was “steady, principled American leadership on the […]

The Trump administration’s war on transparency and open government increased again with the announcement that it would be shutting down Open.gov, the portal set up under President Obama to give the public access to the inner workings of their government, and which hosts White House visitor records, along with staff financial disclosures and appointments. Trump officials stated […]

The annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service is a solemn occasion that was marked with dignity by President Barack Obama every year of his presidency, but under Donald Trump, it turned into just another political event. Trump used his speech, before tens of thousands of law enforcement officers and families of the fallen, to reward […]

Donald Trump cannot stop lying. He lied his way through his presidential election, and since taking office, he has made outrageous and debunked accusations about President Barack Obama and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice. And he tries to defend his slanderous lies with even more lies. In an interview with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, […]

Donald Trump has a history of taking credit for jobs that he had no hand in creating, and he has not given up the habit yet. Trump tweeted about a forthcoming announcement by Ford, and called it a sign that “Car companies coming back to the U.S. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!” Big announcement by Ford today. Major investment to […]

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), infamous for yelling “You lie!” at President Barack Obama during a joint session of Congress, had his insult thrown back at him at a town hall following the Republican failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Wilson held his meeting with constituents at Aiken Technical College, where he was grilled by voters on […]
