President Trump’s increasingly frantic attempts to smear former president Barack Obama reek of panic. As disgusting as these efforts are, they are likely to backfire, perhaps in spectacular fashion.Maybe there are readers at WaPo who lap this stuff up. They want Trump to be going nuts and they'd like to see his attacks backfire spectacularly. But there's no way an interpretation like this could influence Trump. He's not going to think: I'd better calm down and realize that attacks on Obama will only hurt me. It makes much more sense for him to interpret a column like that to mean that his attacks are effective.
Maybe Trump just cannot abide the fact that Obama is a Nobel laureate, respected around the world, while he has had to endure being snickered at by world leaders and portrayed as hapless and ignorant by the “fake news” media he claims to hate yet compulsively devours. Increasingly, his imagined victimizer is Obama himself. Trump even tries to blame Obama for his own administration’s botched response to a disease that did not exist when Obama was in office.And yet, you're doing just that.
I thought everyone knew you don’t tug on Superman’s cape....
By the way, the line "you don’t tug on Superman’s cape" comes from Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim," and the question why Superman wears a cape — what good does it do him? — has long plagued readers of comic books who think too much.
IN THE COMMENTS: Calypso Facto said:
"Jim" also gets his ass handed to him by the upstart "Slim" at the end of Croce's song. Maybe more on point than Eugene Robinson intended? (And isn't Slim a great nickname for Trump in response to Pelosi's failed fat-shaming?)

It’s not uncommon for the simple-minded to confuse their credulity with actual credibility. It’s not a compelling argument to those that can actually think, but the foot-stomping is adorable.
Pookie
The problem is the willfully ignorant who eagerly accept demonstrably false assertions of Trump running the country into the ground. The WaPo’s just catering to those simple-minded partisans.
Indeed.
ARM-
It's the petty tyrants on the corrupt socialist left who want to destroy the nation. Wuhan Hillary Virus to the rescue!
• Force everyone to stay home, shuttering businesses built with a lifetime of work
• Accept more dependence on more government handouts
• Close schools, churches and other vital services
• Balloon our debt by TRILLIONS of dollars, in just a few short weeks.
That's all on the left, arm.
"ARM has entered Chuck territory and should be ignored."
What took you so long?
Michael K (to ARM): "Please tell us which dummy you would prefer to tell you to fuck off. I have not seen a useful comment from you in a year or more."
ARM long ago outsourced his commentary ti Beijing.
Probably because he kept getting called out for posting 2016/17 lefty talking points in 2019 and thinking those lies would still fly.
Posting ChiCom propaganda and 2016 democratics narratives is easier than keeping up with stuff.

It's LightWORKER, you miserable Trumptard racist. All shall love Himself, and despair!
Go back and look again at Obama's Nobel Prize. The newly elected President of the United States was richly rewarded by the largely foreign-controlled International Socialist movement, simply for successfully taking over the US Presidency in their name... totally didn't trigger the Foreign Titles or Emollients clauses...
Obama was never an "American" President; he, and more pointedly Michelle, made it very publicly clear that they were ashamed and disgusted with the US. So who did pay for his Presidency, and who made him a multi-millionaire when his "service" was through?
So Obama is Suoerman to these folks.
So Obama is superman to these folks.
Obama was snickered and laughed at around the world for prostrating himself before the Chinese leadership, funding Iran's attacks on other Middle Easterners with pallets of US dollars, essentially greenlighting Iran's nuclear weapons program (after Hillary's anticipated eight years), and being useless in dealing with North Korea. Eastern Europeans weren't impressed with his sucking up to Russia either. Eugene needs to leave his cocoon get out in the world more.
It's over - 4 trillion dollar debt, over a 100,000 dead, 25% unemployed, negative GDP.
All because Trump is uninterested in governing. No rational person is voting for someone who has no interest in doing his job.
