On election night in 2012, Donald Trump – and many in the Republican party – were shocked when Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney.

What happened next was an early example of how Trump —
who had endorsed Romney and helped lead the “birther†movement questioning the president’s citizenship — would deal with rivals on the road to the White House: He took to Twitter.

Fast forward 8 years and Obama was indeed a terrible president.
LOL "We should march on washington and stop this travesty?" this should shut up those who said trump wasn't responsible for the capitol riots because here he is clearly capable of doing just that back in 2012
love how one of his tweets was calling out the electoral college and then went on to win the presidency because of it
Now suddenly they care about the deficit??
This aged well
How the hell did they think they were going to beat Obama? No matter what our politics is, we can all agree he is almost unbeatable.
Frontline is explaining why Trump is acting the way he after he lost to Biden….
LMAO this video aged like fine wine. Now he's using the same playbook. Today is Nov 7th 2020
The couple of the century, Palin & Trump ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Trump and Palin yesssssðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Wait, Trump actually tweeted that the electoral college is bad for the US? Oh the irony.
republicans lie so much they have completely lost any credibility they had and have now become trump's idiot nation
DONALD TRUMP / INFOWARS
Trump doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself. He appears to care about his three eldest offspring, but he only sees them as an extension of himself, therefore he only cares about how they reflect on him. He is a sheister, a narcissist, and a business failure many times over. The only thing he possesses is a huge inferiority complex which is not good as POTUS. HE's a cheat and a bigot who's not paid taxes and rips people off regularly. #LOCKHIMUP
Perhaps it was clear Trump was going to run the United States into the ground after looting all our assets.
Idiot liberals complain about debt being too large and yet vote for big govt. which inevitably leads to more govt. spending.
trump sucks saudis and arab rich countries money while ban the poor countries that made 0 terror attack in US …. Trump made americans think that he banned all muslims which is not
If the Obama regime hadn't used the IRS to stop the funding of the Tea Party election day would been a 20 minute wait
Thank you PBS for not making this available in Canada. Fuckin hope President Trump stops all your funding. Assholes!
The night romney lost was one of the greatest days in american history!
Great show last night #FrontLine. looking forward to part two
I have a radical idea. How about the red states are governed by Trump and blue states are governed by Bernie Sanders and may the best government win!
