Fox News’s Jesse Watters claimed it was actually Barack Obama who was obsessed with Donald Trump and got owned into next year

Barack Obama went on the All The Smoke podcast to talk about a variety of topics. Unfortunately, one of those was Donald Trump. At least both the hosts, Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, and Obama himself, managed to do so without uttering the big orange man’s name.

Here is what Watters had to say about Obama’s time in the White House in comparison to Donald Trump.

The projection is oozing out of that screen. He is so thirsty for approval from papa. It’s so sad.

The online shrinks had a field day analyzing Watters’ take on Twitter.

Obama is everything MAGA wishes Trump could be. They think about Obama more than Obama thinks about himself.

“Other than break the racial glass ceiling in American politics, provide healthcare for all Americans -especially the poor ones watching this program – and kill the guy responsible for 9/11, he has nothing.” https://t.co/6kXqnbqIof
