One surefire way to annoy a troll is to call their efforts for attention an \u201cobsession.\u201d Edgelords, of course, are too nonchalant to obsess. Never mind their dozens of targeted social media posts and years of taunting. So when Barack Obama recently addressed Donald Trump\u2019s long-running criticism of him as an \u201cobsession,\u201d it was immediately clear that our king troll is finally in for a round of reciprocation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During an <\/span>interview<\/span> on the podcast \u201cAll The Smoke,\u201d Obama called the president\u2019s constant fixation on him \u201ca strange thing\u201d that underscores a lack of focus on the American people\u2019s needs. \u201cI obviously have a room in his head,\u201d Obama told the hosts, former NBA stars Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, upgrading it to \u201ca suite in his head.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The former president was sure to make clear that he spends zero time worrying about Trump. \u201cIt shows me somebody who\u2019s not focused on the American people and the job they\u2019re supposed to do,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has spent more than a decade smearing and scapegoating Obama. But as the former president also explained, the nature of Trump\u2019s energy is two-faced. He noted the contrast between Trump\u2019s harsh public rhetoric and his actual face-to-face encounters. Trump, Obama said, \u201cnever\u201d talks that way when they are in the same room.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Trump tarnishes the 250th celebration of the nation\u2019s founding, one of the only comforts is the thought of him being tormented by the smiles and laughter of Obama. <\/span><\/p>\n
