Trump is going to punch him back really hard a couple of times and Obama will run like the little boy he is.
By summer Obama is gone.
I think you're right. The life-time of this Obama "hanging around" and commenting on what Trump is doing won't last long. Obama's never, ever had anyone like Trump before. All his life he's been handled with kid gloves, and all during his 8 years he's been surrounded with sycophants and yes-men who keep him in a bubble and tell him what he wants to hear. As a result, he's the least qualified person of any room he enters. Obama IS the quintessential snowflake.
His little manufactured fantasy can only be maintained for so long. He's in for a rude awakening.
Yes. If Obama keeps his distance, makes some speeches in closed rooms, earns millions and “acts ex-presidential” then the media can continue to call him the “smartest man in the world”.
But if Obama tries to go toe-to-toe with President Trump, he will embarrass himself quickly. That makes it harder for him to earn millions from speeches or glory in lavish praise from everyone in the press. People will start to call him a dumbass.
Obama might badger Trump briefly, but he will quickly realize that this is not in his best interest.
