Obama publicly humiliated Donald Trump and Trump has not recovered from the humilation: "Setmayer points to the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where Trump sat stony-faced and humiliated as Obama lampooned the Celebrity Apprentice host’s nascent political ambitions. Obama even pointed to a photoshopped image of a Trump White House with hotel, casino, golf course and gold columns."
It is very evident that Donald Trump is envious of Obama and has set out to destroy as much of Obama's legislation and executive orders as he can.
This is Trump's big weakness. People can rile and antagonize Donald Trump into a state of apoplexy by praising Obama and comparing Trump's performance and poll numbers negatively to Obama. The economic effect of the Covid19 pandemic has created huge opportunities for antagonizing Donald Trump.
Donald Trump could be provoked into a frenzied campaign of online rants and rages by a deliberate campaign by Democrats to provoke him and deflect him from doing anything other than just raging at Obama and the media.
'It eats him alive inside': Trump's latest attack shows endless obsession with Obama

President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump once sat together in the Oval Office. “I was immediately struck by Trump’s body language,” wrote journalist Jon Karl in his memoir Front Row at The Trump Show. “I was seeing a side of him I had never seen. He seemed, believe it or not, humbled.”
It was November 2016 and, just for once, Trump was not in charge of the room, Karl recalls. Obama was still president, directing the action and setting the tone. His successor “seemed a little dazed” and “a little freaked out”. What the two men discussed in their meeting that day, only they know.
But what became clear in the next three and a half years is that Obama remains something of an obsession for Trump; the subject of a political and personal inferiority complex.
Observers point to a mix of anti-intellectualism, racism, vengeance and primitive envy over everything from Obama’s Nobel peace prize to the scale of his inauguration crowd and social media following.
Ben Rhodes, a former Obama national security aide, tweeted this week: “Trump’s fact-free fixation on Obama dating back to birtherism is so absurd and stupid that it would be comic if it wasn’t so tragic.” ...
