Rep Ro Khanna explained to Don Lemon why Trump is flailing around so badly: He is jealous of Barack Obama and can't believe a Black man was better than him.
And so it is just this actual anger as an American citizen that we've got a president so incompetent that he is destroying American credibility around the world, and he's got such an ego.
In my view, this is the real problem that he knows that Obama got a better deal than him on the JCPOA. He knows that whatever he gets now is not going to be as good as what Obama got, and he can't get himself to end this war because of his ego of being less than Barack Obama. I mean, this is why he ran in the first place, when Barack Obama kind of taunted him at that correspondents' dinner, but he's deeply insecure about Obama. He always has been.
His candidacy was premised on Obama not being born in America, and, you know, this is his entire lens, his obsession of getting rid of the Affordable Care Act, his obsession about trying to bomb Iran. And it's, it's sad.
And, you know, again, if you don't think race has something to do with it, you're just not aware of American history. And I guess that, to me is the big issue is to recognize that, like it or not, race still has a major role in American life.
He's not wrong, you know. He keeps trying to outdo Obama and simply cannot. The more he tries, the more he fails, which only makes him more frustrated and angry. In other words, we have a giant, racist toddler in the White House. That's no way to run a country.
