‘Insecurity’: Rev. Al Sharpton pins down Trump’s ‘obsession’ with Obama

MS NOW’s Rev. Al Sharpton tore into Donald Trump over his “obsession” with former President Barack Obama, after the current president shared a meme of side-by-side photos of himself and his (first) predecessor on social media on Saturday. The images showed Trump at age 20 in his New York Military Academy uniform and a photo of an 18-year-old Obama taken during his time at Occidental College.

The post came just days after the Democrat told “All the Smoke” podcast co-host and former NBA player Matt Barnes that he occupied a “suite” in Trump’s head. 

In Sharpton’s analysis, Obama brings out “insecurity” in Trump. “My thoughts are that President Trump cannot get over the fact th at he had to succeed a man that clearly had more ability, background, a sense of presidential behavior and could handle pressure in a calm way,” he told MS NOW’s Alex Witt.

“[Obama] was better educated, better background in terms of coming from nothing and achieving something,” Sharpton continued. “And he’s Black.”
