According to [wp:National debt of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_of_the_United_States), when Obama left office, the national debt of the US held by the public was under $15 trillion. It is now over $30 trillion (or over $88 000 per American).

I mean, black people already know that Trump is racist. Him doing racist things is unsurprising

I’m forgetting what acting Presidential looks like.

On one hand, I get not feeding the trolls. The only reason that meme got posted was to get people to react, ideally emotionally. On the other hand, you can’t let this remain unchallenged and become normalized.
I do think Obama should make a statement, but I think it should be accompanied by some sort of call to action instead of just „Trump is evil and stupid and said another evil and stupid thing“.

Always and forever former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle put others before themselves, unselfish in desiring to let the US athletes shine, and have their moment. Always the epitome of dignity and decorum, true leaders in every sense of the word!

That’s how you starve a narcissist. You give them none of your attention and grey rock.

It’s because racism is boring. It’s tired and it’s uncreative. It becomes so repetitive it’s like child trying to describe dinosaurs over and over. At some point you just nod and pat their heads and say “yes, good for you”.
The Obamas are kind of important people and they act like it. They don’t worry themselves with the commentary of people like Trump.

Because they are classy and above Trump’s degeneracy.

How do people like this rise above the noise and rage to stay calm and level headed. I could never, I wish I had this power.

Obama not even addressing has to piss Trump off more than anything.
Obama has aura.
Trump rapes little boys / girls and sells them.

The Obamas are super classy people, I miss them.

Gee the guy that started his political career by lying that he had evidence that Obama was born in Kenya might be racist?
It’s no longer possible to be shocked by what this asshole does. It’s only still shocking how much he can get away with.

As one should do in this situation. Deal with some racist shit? Nah bro. Got some cheering to do for the Olympics!

Of course, they are above that.
Class act.

100% smartest thing to do. Trump does this stuff for not only attention, but to see it upset his political opponents.
I bet it chaps his fat ass that they had no comment about it and chose to support the Olympians.
