And his petulant tantrums produced a preposterous array of excuses for his criminal conduct.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54482\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WTF? Now Trump Says the FBI Was Looking for Hillary Clinton\u2019s Emails at Mar-a-Lago<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But nothing seems to trigger Trump&#8217;s tempter more than his being compared to former President Barack Obama. Trump&#8217;s seething jealously of Obama was a prime motivating factor for his entry into politics, and it remains at the top of his list of personal grievances. Consequently, Trump is not going to happy to hear that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/barack-obama-wins-emmy-narrating-our-great-national-parks-netflix\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Obama just won an Emmy<\/a><\/strong> for work on the Netflix documentary series, <em>&#8220;Our Great National Parks.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama&#8217;s production company, &#8220;Higher Ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was the biggest name in a category full of famous nominees for the award handed out at Saturday night&#8217;s Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong&#8217;o.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is an especially touchy subject for Trump who long craved an Emmy for himself. But he was never even nominated throughout fourteen seasons of his cheesy reality game show, The Apprentice. Still, it was far from the only aching neglect that has vexed Trump&#8217;s humungous, but fragile, ego.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is surely distraught over the fact that Obama was elected twice by majorities of voters, while Trump lost the popular vote twice as well as the presidency in his second attempt. Although Trump did outscore Obama two to zero in impeachments.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of what Trump regards as spurious snubs, he acted out in the most infantile manner. He refused to present the official White House portraits of Michelle and Barack Obama, as new presidents have done for decades for their predecessors. President Biden is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/biden-to-help-unveil-white-house-portrait-of-obama\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">going to correct<\/a><\/strong> that petty disrespect by Trump this week.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump paid $650,000 to the Smithsonian Institution to fund portraits of himself and Melania for the National Portrait Gallery. That was money that he raised through his deceitfully named <em>\u201cSave America\u201d<\/em> PAC. Those are funds that he had promised to spend on electing MAGA Republicans, advancing the <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> that he won the 2020 election, and fight his legal battles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54362\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Rips Off His Gullible Cult Followers, Spends $650K of Their Money on Portraits of Himself<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump has also employed Obama <em>&#8220;whataboutism&#8221;<\/em> as one of his excuses for having stolen national security materials and storing them at his Palm Beach resort\/home. in <a href=\"https:\/\/thedeskofdonaldtrump.com\/what-is-going-on-8112022\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a> on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump wondered&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What happened to the 30 million pages of documents taken from the White House to Chicago by Barack Hussein Obama?
