Why Donald Trump is gunning for President

-
Image
Why is the billionaire reality star gunning for the presidency? Donald Trump was roasted by President Obama & Seth Meyers in 2011. Only Donald Trump can fully answer that question. But if you are to believe a handful of armchair psychoanalysts — reporters for major news organizations, no less — it all began at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner , where Trump was the "butt of jokes" by President Obama and “Saturday Night Live” comedian Seth Meyers . Trump was so humiliated by the experience, they say, that it triggered some deep, previously hidden yearning for revenge," wrote the Washington Post  in April 2016. “That evening of public abasement, rather than sending Mr. Trump away, accelerated his ferocious efforts to gain stature in the political world,” wrote the New York Times  in March 2016. President Obama at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner (18:53) In April 2011, Hawaii released President Obama's birth certif...

Watch: If President Obama swore like Duterte

-
Image
Jimmy Kimmel's "Unnecessary Censorship: Obama Edition" President Obama has been letting loose a bit lately. He recently sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair in which he admits that he curses a lot. He says he uses more foul language than he probably should. Obama says his staff has often overheard him going on profanity-laced rants. To get a taste of what it’s like, Jimmy went through the past eight years of bleeps and blurs involving our President and compiled this all-Obama edition of “Unnecessary Censorship.” Growing up, the only time I swore (or go on profanity-laced rants) was when I was playing tennis - only playing singles of course. I only cursed at myself under my breath, never at my opponent. I didn't even swear when I got hit in my right ear by a 100+ mph serve during a league match -- by my doubles partner! OUCH! Otherwise, the only time I swore was when I was about to do a Bruce Lee impression and kick someone's @$$!
