First posted Jan. 2021: Some posts requir re-posting as a reminder of how Trump’s psychological disordered behaviors keep costing Americans their lives and posing a threat to the survival of our democracy.
Due to his mentally disordered personality,( Narcissistic and Sociopathic), Trump cares knows how Obama bests him as a man and a person, and that tealization drives his hatred. Comparisons to Obama that highlight how he loses in the area of PERSONAL INTEGRITY are;
- Obama: no accusations/ lawsuits by women for sexual assault or infidelity vs Trump’s dozens of lawsuits for sexual assault, infidelity, and inappropriate, unwanted sexual advances
- Obama: one long- term marriage, free of infidelity, Trump’s three marriages, degraded by infidelity
- Obama: No personal financial scandals or lawsuits accusing him of fraud vs. TRUMP faces potential indictments for tax fraud, bank fraud, and fraudulent violations related to the Trump Organization
- Obama: Responsible use of social media to communicate with the American public vs. Trump’s use of social media to intimidate members of Congress, attack people who oppose him, and spread divisive, violence-inciting rhetoric leading him to be banned for life from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram
- Obama: Respectful, Non- Profane, honest Public communication style vs Trump’s profanity ridden, name-calling, vengeance spewing, disinformation- filled communication style
- No scandals involving Playboy Bunnies or porn stars

Republicans and Democrats can argue about policy, but when these above comparisons are made between Trump and Obama the major differences are clear; Trump is racist, law-breaking, dishonest, and dangerous, Obama abided by the Constitution, tried to unite not divide, spoke in facts, not disinformation, and stood up to our adversaries.
Trump leaves office pardoning friends and hardened criminals, lying about winning an election that he, and most people know, he lost, aligning with white supremacist and conspiracy theory groups, and staging an embarrassing military send-off despite the shame of his 34 % approval rating, the deadly insurgence against our government, and a massively out of control pandemic that he lied about and ignored. A narcissist cannot resist attention whether for good or evil.
