Every time I see Trump using his power as president to punish people I think of the time Obama humiliated him at the White House Correspondents Dinner. When I saw it the first time I knew it was trouble. When you’re on top you simply don’t do what he did. It always comes back to bite you in the ass. Obama had every right to be pissed about the birther stuff. But when you’re number one, you can’t do what he did. The president has to be above it. Self-indulgence. Not worth the price we’re all paying.
