The photographer taking the Twitter war to Trump
The Guardian ^ | October 21, 2018 | Pete Souza

Posted on 10/22/2018 6:13:55 AM PDT by lowbridge

As our helicopter lifted off, one of my White House “family members” asked me how I was doing. “I’m depressed,” I said. “I watched this guy” – pointing to Obama, seated across from us – “every week in the Situation Room, asking thoughtful questions, listening to advice, making tough decisions on important issues. But this other guy…” I said, glancing out the window to where the new president had watched us depart, “is not capable of that.”

At the time, I hoped Trump would surround himself with competent people, learn on the job and not lead us down a dangerous path. But his presidency has become a reality game show. He does not respect women, minorities or immigrants. To him, a critical news story is “fake news”. To him, all our intelligence agencies are corrupt. He shuns preparation for meetings with foreign heads of state. He tells his supporters how he alone can fix the economy, yet his policies will hurt them and help line his pockets.

Early in the first week of his presidency, I posted on my Instagram account an innocuous photograph I’d taken of Obama by the Resolute Desk. Underneath I wrote a snarky caption, saying: “I like these drapes better than the gaudy new gold ones” that had recently been installed. I was pissed off that Trump had been elected. I was also appalled by the curtains themselves: the redecorated Oval Office, with its emphasis on gold, made the White House look like his personal palace. In fact, it is the people’s house.

Living rent free. He misses that many of us thought Obama treated the oval office shamefully, so why is he the right one?

Liberals truly live in their own reality. They are insane. You couldn’t even argue with a lunatic that sees things this way.

This is the mystery of our side. I’m going to assume some people still go to Drudge or something similiar to feed this obsession. I remember the fake story on Russia hacking the Vermont power grid and Tucker interviewing the editor of WaPo...The editor was some 30 year old snowflake who was completely out of it....I’m sure this author fits the bill.

Barf Alert?

This is Guardian garbage.

Obama had to sit and act and listen like training-wheels-on-the-job. He'd never had a real job. Looking thoughtful and important is different that acting as a bystander to his presidency.

He never heard of anything going on in his administration unless he "read it in the newspaper like everyone else."

Trump, on the other hand, hit the ground running in his presidency. The fastest start as a president in US history, as far as what he has accomplished so far.

This guy says Obama and Trump are like apples and oranges in their approach to the presidency.

Yeah, Obama was a rotten apple and Trump is the sweet smell of a juicy, ripe orange.

Some people like the hype.
Others prefer to see some positive results.

Each one of President Trump's tweets receives thousands of replies. He's not going to ever see your stupid Obama pics and didn't even know they existed which is why the Guardian had to write an article about it.

"Look! Look! We're making fun of you!"

I'll never forget him at the inaugural ceremonies, standing there with his suit jacket unbuttoned with an expression on his face that clearly said, "get me the hell out of here, I've got work to do!"

Does he mean this one? Bammy looks like a little boy among men.

Pete Souza is 64, but otherwise, is a disgruntled DC area voter taking his turn bashing President Trump and probably is trying to sell a book or two.
