Donald Trump’s latest attempt at a crowd-pleasing jab backfired spectacularly when he tried to goad a crowd of Navy officers into booing “Barack Hussein Obama”—only to be met with stony silence.
Speaking roughly 45 minutes behind schedule at the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary celebration in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday, the president addressed rows of active-duty service members—many of them unpaid amid the ongoing government shutdown—under a blazing afternoon sun.
Lol he also says he’s more fit than Obama.. I’d pay to see a one-on-one basketball match

Classic Trump move, trying to stir drama where none exists. Predictable and cringeworthy, honestly.

This kind of crowd work is something you can do when the crowd is already on your side. The president is misunderstanding his relationship with these people. They aren’t his supporters – or if they are, that’s not why they’re in this crowd.. They are technically his subordinates, but they’re there in the capacity of their job. And to the administrations chagrin, their job is not to support and uphold the administration’s political positions. It’s to protect and defend the country.

What’s the average age of that crowd even? A lot were probably not super tuned in the last time Obama was in office.

I’m a total pacifist and even I understand military bearing. They’re specifically trained NOT to show partisanship and especially not to disrespect a former Commander in Chief.

He is so incredibly immature. He acts like a spoiled child literally all the time.
It’s so embarrassing.

Of course, because Trump is the actual loser.

Aren’t active duty military members forbidden from expressing political views, especially when in uniform? They are supposed to be apolitical, at least outwardly.
>…active duty members will not engage in partisan political activities, and all military personnel will avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign or cause.
So in comes this self-serving POS encouraging active duty members to violate their code of ethics.

Mr. Obama should challenge him to a charity golf match. Caddies, but no carts. It can be on Trump’s course, but scored by a professional PGA golfer, and filmed so heavily that cheating is impossible.

Most current military don’t remember Obama being in office because they were probably in middle school and not caring about politics.

Nobody has ever been as transparent about hating someone just because they are orders of magnitudes more respected than them.

How long before Hegseth is telling them when to boo, or laugh ? Because I feel it coming

Obama should publicly challenge Trump to a sit-up contest…

Yeah, he’s a specimin alright. A fine specimin of shit. Nobody except his followers will believe he’s in „better shape“ than Obama. Nobody. This is how you know god does not exist. Trump exists.

He is such a bitter old bitch, I swear.

I’m sure they all loved mandatory orders to show up on a Sunday, while not getting paid and not knowing when their next check is coming, waiting for over an hour for the president to even show up, while sitting in the sun without any shade provided, to celebrate the Navy’s birthday on the wrong date, and then just hear him blame somebody else for all the problems he is causing them.
Oh, they didn’t buy it? Hm.

They’ve really been carrying hate of Obama for a long time. He’s been out of power how long now and they’re still bitching about him. They prob would reinstate slavery if they could and claim it was just about states rights.

Donald Trump is pathetic. Live, a gnat

Their entire platform is just pointing at the other guy while they destroy what’s left of America.

Why this dude so obsessed with Obama? It’s so weird. Also it trickles down to MAGA too. These people are weird.

Sounds like someone is suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome.

I saw the video, and the headline is a bit of stretch. If anything, he was looking for laughter, which he got a few. They way he says Obama’s full name is in an obvious mocking tone to get some laughs. The overall sound bite was definitely a lie because the WH doctor said that Trump was the absolute best physical specimen out of Bush, Obama, and Trump. The Navy sperms in attendance applauded tremendously, the dumbasses. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

The funny thing is that when all the former presidents are in the same room, Obama is the only one willing to speak to him.

I’ve never seen any POTUS display such insecurity as Trump. And no leader anywhere in history, to my knowledge, has ever required such high maintenance pandering just to get through the day. He’s a whining baby in an I’ll-fitting suit. Try a tailor, 47.

God, he’s such a narcissist. How many other people talk in the third person about being loved. The dude is obsessed with telling stories about how people love him. He’s like a toddler.

Anyone else find it a little… I don’t know, nasty? whenever he puts emphasis on the Hussein part of Obama‘s name? He doesn’t do it for Biden or any other Democrat. He does it because Obama’s middle name is the last name to well… Saddam Hussein.

This is who Republicans chose as their leader. Always remember why he’s where he is and allowed to get away with his behavior, corruption, and fascism.

Yes, from [the DoD’s FAQ](https://dodsoco.ogc.osd.mil/Portals/102/faqs_political_activities_armed_forces.pdf):
>…active duty members will not engage in partisan political activities, and all military personnel will avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign or cause.
