And we have all of this because Obama made fun of Trump at some big presser, makes you think, right?
Before that, Trump was a Democrat, mocking Republicans, playing golf with Bill, and endorsing Hillary for senate.
Just imagine who the bankers have selected as our future candidates! Remember when the Bush presidency was the worst ever?
He did get roasted, and it didn't help, but don't kid yourself that it was the catalyst, he flipped a couple years before that happened. I read that same story, and it was just an fluff piece for the media.

He's changed affiliations 5 times now
Before he ran, his investments were petering out. He owed a substantial amount of money to multiple places. (notably a couple of billion to Deutsche Bank) His contributions to whatever party he was sucking up to were in the couple of thousand-dollar range.
He registered Republican near the end of Reagan's run. He flipped to Independent in the middle of Clinton's presidency. He switched to the Democrats when Bush took office. He flipped to republican the year Obama got in, even though the roast was two years before the roast in question.
The Republicans knew that once Obama got in, they could weaponize race and he turned out to be the face they were looking for to empower the right extremists and moderates.
Trump knew he needed an enemy if he wanted his populism to take hold, Obama was the obvious choice, it wasn't really anything Obama did. That he's black is just icing on the cake, let him spin populism and racism together into one tapestry of bullshit.
trump has been a known racist against blacks, like FATHER LIKE SON, he got it from fred trump. and he also dint like black people in his reality show too.
