It’s not gloating when the score is 42 to zip and you hand the ball to one of your linemen who spikes the football for you.
That’s where Trump is. He’s up by six touchdowns, and instead of doing a dance in the end zone, he lets one of the guys who does the dirty work take the glory. And the media still cries foul.
The Left calls him a narcissist. A dictator. And yes, of course, racist—because what else is new?
So Trump ditched tradition, broke protocol, and took down Barack Obama’s portrait—just to hang his own.
Straight-up tin pot dictator energy. Insecure and petty to the end.

They called Trump xenophobic for saying we should know who’s crossing our southern border. They called him racist for warning about China long before anyone else had the guts to. He was “cruel” for stopping Chinese nationals from disembarking off COVID cruise ships—before lockdowns, before Fauci’s mask roulette, before the CDC remembered what their job was. And don’t forget the classic: “Trump said there were very fine people on both sides,” which, even Snopes quietly admitted, was a lie the media told so often it became scripture.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden can eulogize a Klansman and get called “empathetic.” Go figure.
But back to Trump, who now stands accused of committing his latest hate crime.
President Trump replaced the White House portrait of Barack Obama with his own “FIGHT” poster—the graphic from when Democrats tried to politically kill him with two impeachments, an FBI raid, and enough fake scandals to fill a Hillary email server.
Still, for those keeping score, it’s Trump 42, Democrats 0. And this latest move to shock the media industrial complex? Trump is accused of gloating.
Some Leftists declared that removing Obama’s portrait was not just tacky—but a coded message to white supremacists everywhere. Because, you know, Trump can’t so much as rearrange furniture without being accused of running a plantation.
Obama is not a sacred artifact. He’s a former president.
One whose administration spied on Trump’s campaign, ran guns to cartels, weaponized the IRS, and left the country divided, economically flatlined, and apologizing to the world like a guilty teenager.
Trump replacing Obama’s portrait isn’t racism. It’s real estate. It’s a new tenant redecorating (fumigating) after the last tenant stunk up the place.
What the Left can’t stomach isn’t the act—it’s the symbolism. Obama represents their (flawed) mythology. He’s not just a man; he’s a monument. The first (half) Black president. The (faux) cool guy. The guy who made White liberals feel better about themselves while doing almost nothing for the Black community (or America) beyond handing out better soundbites.
So when Trump swaps out the portrait for an image that says “FIGHT,” it’s not just trolling—it’s dominance. It’s like the Louvre taking down the Mona Lisa and hanging a Madonna poster.
Naturally, this made Leftists on X explode with hysterics. Leftist commentators cried about “norms” and “respect for the presidency”—from the same people who cheered when Kathy Griffin held a severed Trump head and Madonna talked about blowing up the White House. Norms, indeed.
I’m betting Chris Jackson couldn’t wait to key a few Teslas and slice the tires of vehicles with anything “MAGA” on them.
But the best part of trolling Leftists? Trump doesn’t even have to say anything anymore. He hangs a poster, and the Left writes the whole script for him—racist, fascist, threat to democracy. It’s Pavlovian. He rings the bell, and they start foaming at the mouth.
Meanwhile, in that same week, Trump:
-
Negotiated trade deals projected to save Americans billions annually
-
Freed multiple hostages without sending pallets of cash or blowing up a goat farm in the middle of the night
-
Watched the stock market break records that sent Adam Schiff into a short coma
And the media? They cover the picture swap like it was Watergate Part II: Electric Boogaloo.
This is the genius of Trump. He controls the frame—literally and figuratively. He doesn’t just live rent-free in their heads; he’s tearing down walls, putting up new curtains, and installing surround sound.
The Left can’t beat him on policy, so they fight him on pageantry. On optics. On emotional theater. They care more about a portrait being moved than a country being run.
They scream “fascist!” because Trump replaced a painting, but yawned when Obama droned a U.S. citizen without trial. They clutch their pearls over a poster, but shrug at Biden’s government colluding with tech giants to silence Americans.
Trump’s real offense? He doesn’t worship their idols. He builds his own. And every time they cry “dictator,” another independent voter shrugs and says, “At least he gets things done.”
So no—it’s not gloating. It’s a celebration of Trump’s, America’s, and the world’s big win.
