CNN host Don Lemon dedicated a searing monologue to exploring why President Trump appears to be obsessed with President Barack Obama.
Lemon asked a series of questions on Sunday’s episode of CNN Tonight, premised on Trump’s predecessor being superior in a number of ways.
“What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin?” Lemon said. “Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own? Didn’t need daddy’s help? Wife is more accomplished? Better looking?”
The segment was spurred by a tweet Trump sent on Sunday that mocked former President George W. Bush after the Texan released a much-lauded video montage calling for unity throughout the country. Lemon called Trump’s tweet about Bush “a new low from a president who goes low all the time.”
“I don’t know, what is it?” Lemon said. “What is it about him? That’s he’s a black man that’s accomplished, became president? That he punked you on the whole birth certificate thing? What is it about him? Just wondering.”
On Sunday, Trump shared a tweet that accused Obama of “running” the Russia investigation.
