title:  Trump’s Latest Retweet Is Actually The Best Possible Metaphor For His Presidency (IMAGE)
text: In the middle of a Twitter tantrum directed toward Mitch McConnell, James Clapper, Democrats and the  fake news,  Donald Trump retweeted a bit of light hearted boasting in the form of a meme that shows Trump eclipsing President Obama.In the meme, Trump s beaming color-filled picture eclipses a dour black and white photo of Obama.pic.twitter.com/6XJxEg1gSs  Jerry Travone ? (@JerryTravone) August 24, 2017More than a few Twitter users saw racist overtones:After all that s happened, this visual is a stark example of white supremacy, literally blotting blackness out. https://t.co/EosQ27L7gQ  Mike Signorile (@MSignorile) August 24, 2017Retweeting racist anti-Semites? It must be Thursday. ???  brickhouse (@ITMFA17) August 24, 2017You forgot to photoshop in Trump s white hood and gown.  Sarah Smith (@SarahLSmith677) August 24, 2017How immature & racist is this stupid tweet? no Jerry Trump hasn t done chit but whine & all the twitter memes in the world won t change it  Mahogany, MBA (@Mahogany1992) August 24, 2017interesting that you would retweet this you should look into who you retweet sir considering you claim to have denounced hate groups ? pic.twitter.com/bQ3uMiD0oN   AshleyMarie  (@InnocentEyes88) August 24, 2017Most, though, saw it as the perfect metaphor for Trump s presidency. In the meme, Obama is compared to the sun, which literally sustains all life. Trump is portrayed as a rock that temporarily blocks the light.This is actually correct. The Darkness of Trump has overtaken the brightness of Obama. The Sun is what gives us life and energy!  Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) August 24, 2017If so, we are left in the darkness of corruption, collusion, dishonesty, bigotry, and sheer stupidity. #Resist so the sun can shine again!  Lorraine Devon Wilke (@LorraineDWilke) August 24, 2017The orange sun does not eclipse the moon. The moon eclipses the sun. In the case of dt, he will forever be OVERSHADOWED by OBAMA!

Matthew Luis (@AgtMluis) August 24, 2017so you re saying Obama is a star like the sun and you re a lifeless rock that s MOMENTARILY blotting out his light. FINALLY A truthful tweet  A Silver Tongue (@asilvertongue) August 24, 2017Other s simply noted Trump s pathological obsession with his far superior predecessor.He ll never measure up to Obama and he HATES it his insecurity/psychopathy renders him beyond unfit for office  Mouth of Sauron (@simon_lindsell) August 24, 2017dt is eaten up w/envy of @POTUS44. dt has no hope of being even an INTH of the MAN or President that OBAMA is. And, learn your science 1/  She Speaks (@Words_Echo) August 24, 2017 Hey, who is that awesome black guy up there whom I want to be just like!  pic.twitter.com/bKSBHeXDBm  Sarah Smith (@SarahLSmith677) August 24, 2017Either way, this retweet very nicely sums up everything about Trump s reign. Too bad it s lasting so much longer than the eclipse.Featured image via screen capture.
