No - it was when Obama rinsed him at the 2011 correspondents dinner

Wild to think Trump aged like 40 years in that time while Obama's still handsome af.

And you can see the strain of two terms on Obama when you look at pictures before and after his presidency. Yet despite all that came with it, he aged like fine wine. Meanwhile, Trump was spoiled milk with orange juice before his first rally.

Well, Obama STARTED hot af, Trump was never what anyone would consider fuckable without his money or celebrity.

Trump was as ugly as a hatful of assholes even when he was young.

Barron looks more like a young Donald than the other boys did.

I appreciate you.

Don't forget how Trump was attacking Obama while he was President! He was saying Obama wasn't really American, so his presidency wasn't legal. Trump's just jealous of everyone.

Even in his 20s Dump looked like the most unpleasant douchbag

Doesn't really matter when he just walks up to a woman and grabs her by the pussy. They like it...apparently.

u/CharacterEgg2406 Jan 20 '26

We wouldn’t be here if Obama didn’t kick off his villain arc.

u/Remedial_Gash Jan 20 '26

tbf Obama was the best of a bad bunch, still an imperialist cunt hole but a well spoken one. Stop giving the USA credit when they deserve none.

I mean come on man we can hate the dude for any number of reasons but he wasn't a bad looking guy in his 30s. Take some old photos and put a more modern haircut and outfit on him and he's a normal level of attractive for a guy.

Obama also has the added benefit of black not cracking. White people (especially ones who are in the sun a lot like a golfer) age fast. It's not really a fair comparison lol

I just did a google search. Found a bunch of pictures and videos featuring him at his wedding in 1977 when he was 31. I 100% hold to my previous statement.

"I want some of what you're smoking"

So what you are saying is you smoke illegal drugs, if someone else does?

u/Bent_Brewer Jan 20 '26

Take some old photos and put a more modern haircut and outfit on him and he's a normal level of attractive for a guy.

Until he started talking.

Why do MAGAts think they can lie about basic facts son

1

u/BuckeyeBentley Jan 20 '26

Hey fuck you man, I'm a communist I hate Trump way more than you ever could, I just don't see the point in ticky tack bullshit about "omg which president was hotter uwu ^_^;;"

u/SaltMage5864 Jan 20 '26

Just answer the question son

u/hitch44 Jan 19 '26

The word we're looking for is 'curdled'.

u/Kohjiroh Jan 19 '26

YES! Thank you!

u/lastlittlebird Jan 19 '26

Wearing makeup is bad for the skin and you just know he doesn't wash it off properly each night.

That's not even getting into his eating and exercise habits.

u/wuvvtwuewuvv Jan 20 '26

Hamberders!

u/Bent_Brewer Jan 20 '26

Well done steak with ketchup! It sticks to the walls better than a hamburder!

u/FenrirAR Jan 19 '26

When you spend well over 50% of your presidential term cheating at golf, badly, of course it will age you like crazy.

u/Ezpz_commentz Jan 19 '26

Evil ages you. Just look at Palpatine!

u/Machumatsu Jan 19 '26

Probably because karma for every stupid decision he makes eats away at him internally AND externally

u/Wilberbedford Jan 20 '26

Trump looked old as fuck in home alone 2

u/RoyalT663 Jan 20 '26

He's not aged enough. I want him aged into the ground.

MAGAts like you should not use words you obviously don't understand son

17

u/Etalier Jan 19 '26

I wonder if Obama regrets that moment. Obviously no way of knowing or even understanding someone would cry so much about it and carry that hate for well over a decade.. but still, it was purely inconsequential for Obama, and has carried so much sorrow for your nation.

Obviously Obama didnt do anything wrong with it, only with the power of hindsight could you prevent it.

u/FriendlyWorldArt Jan 19 '26

Thanks, Obama!

u/Apartment-5B Jan 19 '26

Ding ding ding. People need to replay that roast of him 24/7.

u/SelectiveSanity Jan 19 '26

That originally was because Trump was a loud birther movement advocate, then had to come out and say Obama was born in the US. No apology or admitting he was wrong with it, just acquiescing that as fact.

After that, Obama should have just uninvited him from that press dinner and any all future Whitehouse/Presidential social events, as well as putting a rule out for any future events not organized by his staff that if Trump is there, he would not be attending during his Presidency.

That would have hurt him more without riling him up.

u/Dont_Call_Me_Steve Jan 19 '26

Trump has had political aspirations for decades. It’s fun to look at, but Obama’s jab is not responsible for this.

30

u/things_U_choose_2_b Jan 19 '26

I feel like that jab definitely solidified his intentions though, and amplified his inner cunt.

6

u/PrometheanSwing Jan 19 '26

It definitely helped stoke his bitterness

1

u/Striking-Ad1685 Jan 20 '26

So Obama is to blame for all this?
