In a world where the truth often gets overshadowed by political theatrics, it’s quite the spectacle to witness the meltdown of the Obama White House after Trump’s 2016 victory. Newly released footage shows former President Obama and his National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, shedding tears over the Trump win. Yes, you heard it right, crying! This isn’t just a chuckle-worthy moment, it’s a stark reminder of the panic that ensued among the Democrats when their “inevitable” victory crumbled to dust.
Contrary to their claims of being the calm, collected leaders, it seems they were more akin to drama enthusiasts putting on a show for their staff. This footage, released by Columbia University, reveals a scene that’s both hilarious and telling. They labeled Trump a “con man” and a “clown,” yet their own legacy wasn’t exactly squeaky clean—think red lines, spying scandals, and transforming the IRS into a political weapon. Irony, much?

The Democrats were so confident in their victory that they wore black the next day, as if attending a funeral for their political hopes.

Remember how they all had to wear all black the next day?
Theater kids.
And Obama was the Theater Kid-in-Chief.

And let’s not forget the aftermath. The Democrats’ hysteria led them to embark on a wild goose chase, trying to pin a Russian tale on Trump, even as their own misdeeds piled up. The hypocrisy is astounding. They painted themselves as righteous defenders of democracy while bending rules and breaking laws in their quest to undermine the Trump presidency.
