Barack Obama says Donald Trump is a real-life 'Richie Rich'

Barack Obama tore into Donald Trump during an interview published Monday where he said the president is a 'Richie Rich' type and far from the traditional ideal of American masculinity – like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, he noted.

'I think about the classic male hero in American culture when you and I were growing up: the John Waynes, the Gary Coopers, the Jimmy Stewarts, the Clint Eastwoods, for that matter. There was a code,' Obama told The Atlantic, 'the code of masculinity that I grew up with that harkens back to the '30s and '40s and before that.'

The former president said he thought if a 'right-wing populist' would rise to the presidency, he thought it would be someone 'more appealing' than Trump.

 

'I'm not surprised that somebody like Trump could get traction in our political life. He's a symptom as much as an accelerant,' Obama said, adding: 'But if we were going to have a right-wing populist in this country, I would have expected somebody a little more appealing.'

'There's a notion that a man is true to his word, that he takes responsibility, that he doesn't complain, that he isn't a bully—in fact he defends the vulnerable against bullies,' Trump's predecessor detailed of American manhood. 

Barack Obama lashed out at Donald Trump Monday, calling the president a real-life Richie Rich who complains, lies and doesn't take responsibility

Obama said that Trump is far from the idol of American manlihood, which he claims are more like the types John Wayne (left) and Clint Eastwood (right) played in movies

On the other hand, Richie Rich is a character (portrayed by Macaulay Culkin here in 1994) who was the richest kid in the world and got everything he wanted

'And so even if you are someone who is annoyed by wokeness and political correctness and wants men to be men again and is tired about everyone complaining about the patriarchy, I thought that the model wouldn't be Richie Rich—the complaining, lying, doesn't-take-responsibility-for-anything type of figure,' Obama said.

Richie Rich was a comic character created in the 1950s and was the world's richest kid, getting anything he could possibly want – and was dubbed 'the poor little rich boy.' The comics were made into a TV cartoon and eventually were adapted into a movie starring Macaulay Culkin in the 1990s.

Obama says Trump is more Richie Rich than John Wayne.

The former Democratic president said in his interview with The Atlantic: 'I did not believe how easily the Republican establishment, people who had been in Washington for a long time and had professed a belief in certain institutional values and norms, would just cave' to Trumpian populism.

He added, however, that the populist shift in the Republican Party really garnered traction in the 2008 election, when he and Joe Biden ran a successful campaign against John McCain and Sarah Palin.

'The power of Palin's rallies compared with McCain's rallies—just contrast the excitement you would see in the Republican base,' Obama noted. 'I think this hinted at the degree to which appeals around identity politics, around nativism, conspiracies, were gaining traction.'

Obama and former first lady Michelle became much more outspoken as the 2020 election approached, and since the results came back projecting Biden as the victor over Trump, they have upped their attacks on the sitting president.

Trump has still refused to concede to Biden, insisting he is the true winner of the election and claiming his lawsuits in several swing states will prove so in the coming weeks.

Two weekends ago, Biden declared victory after multiple media outlets called him the winner once enough states projected him winning their Electoral College votes – putting him over the 270 vote threshold needed to win the White House.

Since Election Day, Trump has spent his weekends at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia as he continues to refuse to concede to Joe Biden, claiming he was the rightful winner of the election

Obama tells Oprah he was 'thrilled' when Biden won election

 

Obama claims the populist right-wing movement was able to garner much more traction due to social media, which he suggested should be treated like a digital media company rather than a third-party facilitator of open speak.

'I don't hold the tech companies entirely responsible, because this predates social media,' Obama said. 'It was already there.'

'But social media has turbocharged it,' he added. 'I know most of these folks. I've talked to them about it. The degree to which these companies are insisting that they are more like a phone company than they are like The Atlantic, I do not think is tenable. They are making editorial choices, whether they've buried them in algorithms or not. The First Amendment doesn't require private companies to provide a platform for any view that is out there.'

'If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what's true from what's false, then by definition the marketplace of ideas doesn't work. And by definition our democracy doesn't work. We are entering into an epistemological crisis.'

HOW OBAMA LETS LOOSE ON OTHER WORLD LEADERS IN HIS NEW BOOK

VLADIMIR PUTIN: SHORT AND USED TO SUPPLICANTS

'Physically, he was unremarkable: short and compact -- a wrestler's build -- with thin, sandy hair, a prominent nose, and pale, watchful eyes. ... I noticed a casualness to his movements, a practiced disinterest in his voice that indicated someone accustomed to being surrounded by subordinates and supplicants.'

Former US president Barack Obama in a new book describes Russian's then prime minister Vladimir Putin as 'physically unremarkable' after this July 2009 meeting in Moscow

NICOLAS SARKOZY: LIFT- WEARING BANTAM COCKOUT OF TOULOUSE-LAUTREC

'With his dark, expressive vaguely Mediterranean features (he was half Hungarian and a quarter Greek Jew) and small stature (he was about five-foot-five but wore lifts in his shoes to make himself taller), he looked like a figure out of a Toulouse-Lautrec painting.

'Conversations with Sarkozy were by turns amusing and exasperating, his hands in perpetual motion, his chest thrust out like a bantam cock's, his personal translator... always beside him to frantically mirror his every gesture and intonation as the conversation swooped from flattery to bluster to genuine insight, never straying from his primary, barely disguised interest, which was to be at the center of the action and take credit for whatever it was that might be worth taking credit for.'

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: CHARMING LINEBACKER WHO COULD JUSTIFY ANYTHING TO KEEP POWER

'Built like a linebacker, with a square jaw, broad features, and a gray comb-over, Netanyahu was smart, canny, tough and a gifted communicator in both Hebrew and English.'

'Netanyahu could be charming, even solicitous, when it served his purposes.'

'But his vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power -- and his familiarity with American politics and media gave him confidence that he could resist whatever pressure a Democratic administration like mine might try to apply.'

ANGELA MERKEL: NO-NONSENSE HER EYES WERE A TELL

'Merkel's eyes were big and bright blue and could be touched by turns with frustration, amusement or hints of sorrow. Otherwise, her stolid appearance reflected her no-nonsense, analytical sensibility.'

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN: POWER COMES FIRST

'Personally, I found (Erdogan) to be cordial and generally responsive to my requests. But whenever I listened to him speak, his tall frame slightly stooped, his voice a forceful staccato that rose an octave in response to various grievances or perceived slights, I got the strong impression that his commitment to democracy and the rule of law might last only as long as it preserved his own power.'

MANMOHAN SINGH: INDIAN PM'S TURBAN GAVE HIM AIR OF A HOLY MAN

Former president Barack Obama in a new memoir voices deep respect for India's former prime minister Manmohan Singh, seen here in a 2013 White House meeting

'A gentle, soft-spoken economist in his 70s, with a white beard and a turban that were the marks of his Sikh faith but to the Western eye lent him the air of a holy man...

'I would find Singh to be wise, thoughtful and scrupulously honest.'

HU JINTAO: CHINA'S CHIEF HAD AN ENDLESS STACK OF PAPERS

'Whatever the topic, he liked to read from thick stacks of prepared remarks, pausing every so often for translations to English that seemed to have been prepared in advance and, somehow, always lasted longer than his original statement. ... I was tempted more than once to suggest that we could save each other time by just exchanging papers and reading them at our leisure.' 

 

I'M OKAY with anything that you, post. I have the CHOICE to agree or disagree.  NO, I'M NOT angry, you were the first to extend the hand of kindness.

I'm not angry, I was just answering the EXCELLENT question asked. There is no doubt in my mind that this President is a God fearing man who WOULD take a knee for Jesus a lot quicker than his predecessor who stated that the United States "is no longer a Christian Nation". It may not be Christian to him, but there are many millions of Americans who disagree with him, Including President Trump.

Okay, you are not anry.   You are entitled to your opinion, the man in the White House is a God fearing person and I respect your opinion.  However, I have NEVER heard that his predecessor said, that the USA was no longer a Christian nation.  I have many times heard his predeceesor and every other POTUS before him, read, reference recite Bible scripture and christian values.  Just saying...

Thank you for your post and for sharing Barbara. Enough is not said for those who have loved ones in harms way.  Their sacrifices are not heralded enough and they deserve our deepest respect and love.  

 

Barb, I reread my post from the other day and I apologize for going way overboard.  I need to stay out of the Political Forum, it gets me crazy.  Peace and respect to you.  

Thank you for such an "inspiring" Memorial Day post, that deeply touched me emotionally.  

  

As for, "political" differences they are belief systems and opinions, which is okay.   I do not and never use political "diferences" for aquiring enemies, but to make potential friend(s) with different belief systems and opinions. 

 

Truth be told, you post some subjects, I like and agree with.

 

Have a good and Blessed day!

Thank you for sharing yendor.  That is a great post.  

 

My father is still kicking at 94.  He will never talk about his WWII experiences.  I understand that, I rarely talk about my experiences.  War is Hell on earth.  From what I can piece together from my uncle when he was still alive, my father was in some terrible battles in the Pacific.  

Totally AGREE!  

My late husband came home with EVERY issue(s) associated with the men and women serving in war during the Vietnam Era, with the exception of "drugs". With that exception, I have always counted myself, as truly, one of the "lucky" ones.  My job was to care of home, while he got better. He "never" discussed with me, his experiences in war.  I was "okay" with his reason(s) for not discussing his experiences with me. 

War is Hell for military men & women serving and husbands, wives, relatives, friends, waititng for their return.

UNFORTUNATELY, Stacy Abrams has been talked about as Bidens VP choice and If elected, Biden would be lucky to make a full year of Presidency. Biden is just a setup to get a extremely radical black woman into the Presidency.

VERY Unfortunate, the USA presently has an "extremely" unstable, COMMUNIST Russia & North Korea, sympathizer & collaborator(Donald Trump) in the White House.

You guys must not have seen the clip later in the day of Blackfaced Trudeau back peddling and lying about what he meant in his hot mic comments. Nato is now made up of cowardly little "piss ants" who talk big behind someone's back, but really loved the lopsided deal with them mooching off of the USA for all these many years. Great gig if you can get it. Then you had the Obummer running around the world apologizing for everything he could think of and make up that the US had supposedly done and bowing to the world leaders while giving them pallets full of $$$ (to a country the HATES us). Yeah, tough guys behind our backs but when caught on open mic (like roaches when the lights are turned on) scurry for the cover of BS. They don't like what Trump says or does, then step up to the plate Big Guys, take the lead in NATO and start paying more than your share like we have done ALL these years. After all it is the taxpayers/our $$. Just like the UN they are NOTHING but blood sucking leeches with their mouths attached to the USA's money teet.

"Anything" Trump does BENEFITS "COMMUNIST" Russia/Putin. I will NEVER forget Trump, Live on television, in real time, in Hilsinki with "COMMUNIST" Russia/Putin.  "COMMUNIST" Russia/Putin OWNED Trump at that press conferenced. My country (USA) is like my family, we as family may vehmently disagree, but we NEVER let "outside" forces attack us in shape or form. Trump took the side of "COMMUNIST" Russia/Putin.

I am as liberal as Jesus, so yeah I don't believe he is an honest person, he loves money, a falls god, not people. I do not think he is a good person, that is true, but I am curious how others view him in light of all this damning testimony. How much evidence does a country need to see the week character of this guy? When a person is filled with so much hate and contempt maybe nothing can change that mind. 

I'm not trying to pick an argument, I will say that I see one side of the isle calling the other a lot of names and the other presenting fact after fact of how corrupt our current administration is. It concerns me how conferrable he is with what we use to consider bad influences, while he pushes our long time allies way and how he has been able to create such an unstable world. He has divided America more than any person in my life time and taken advantage of fear, weaponizing it to his benefit. 

The list is long and he has shown me nothing to counter these opinions, only further my belief. 

That being said, I love Obama, that being said, I look back and miss Bush. I love this country and he does not represent this country, nor does he make an effort to represent all that live, love and sacrifice in America. 

Through out my life I have been wrong way more than I have been right (Iraqi Dinar )  and I may be wrong here, the problem come with those who view my opinion reaction, with hostility, name calling and anger, instead of conversation and debate. The ONLY way this country will fail is from within, guess what? He talks of civil unrest, war, openly against other Americans.

No I don't care for him. 

I'm with you.
