Trump is really jealous of Obama

President Trump is obsessively jealous of former President Obama. Every chance Trump speaks or tweets, he want to deride Obama accomplishments.

Obama moved from Oahu to Chicago to attend preparatory schools to prepare him for Harvard University, paid with student loans. He graduated with a Ph. D. in constitutional law. He became senator of Illinois and president of the United States of America.

I will never understand why the citizens who voted had to rely on the antiquated electoral college instead of using the popular vote for Clinton. Governments are not run like businesses. Law says it’s run by the people and for the people. Hotels, restaurants, department stores, etc. are not run by three branches of executive, judicial and Congress. During the Trump campaign, he said, “I like war, we need more countries to have the nuclear bomb.”

We have elected an abnormal person in our White House.
