Team Trump tried to diss Obama in its website code, but couldn’t even get that right

TwitterFacebook

The 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, has tried, and failed, at many things over the course of his questionable career. From Trump University to Trump Steaks, the man who would be king seems to repeatedly stumble into avoidable morass after morass despite his promises to only surround himself with “the best people.”

But if there was one thing he was supposed to be good at, it was insultsLittle Marco, low-energy Jeb, Rocket Man — all trash bon mots tailor-made for the reality-TV era. It would seem, however, that the hater-in-chief’s team can’t quite translate his petulance to the digital realm.  Read more…

Barack Obama teams up with Chance the Rapper and Steph Curry for uplifting new ad

TwitterFacebook

Barack Obama, Chance the Rapper and Steph Curry have teamed up for an inspirational new PSA.

The former President shared the new ad for his independent mentorship organisation, My Brother’s Keeper (MBK), on Christmas Eve. Obama established MBK in Feb. 2014 to address opportunity gaps facing young men of color. 

“I want you to know, you matter. There is nothing, not a single thing, that’s more important to the future of America than whether or not young people all across this country can achieve their dreams,” Obama says in a speech featured in the video. 

This isn’t the first time Chance and Obama have teamed up. And the appearance of Curry could be seen as a dig at President Donald Trump, who created a petty feud with the Golden State Warriors champ after he declined an invitation to the White House. Read more…

Of course Trump’s Christmas card is obnoxiously large

TwitterFacebook

Donald Trump is obsessed with size and saying “Merry Christmas,” so it’s only fitting he’d combine his two loves to send out a stupidly large Christmas card.

To celebrate the holiday season, Trump sent Congress a card — which seems like a normal, friendly thing to do — but it’s Trump so obviously things were a bit off.

How so? Well, the card’s freakin’ huge!

A source gave Splinter an official look at Trump’s holiday card, and photos clearly show no one is exaggerating about the size.

Here’s a photo of the card with a penny on top for comparison. This thing looks like a mini poster board bent in half, are you joking? It’s like one of massive those joke cards you get a niece or nephew for their birthday when you want to win the favorite aunt/uncle title. This is not how you do Christmas cards. Read more…
