These days, the world of entertainment/fantasy is a safe haven from the burdens of real-world concerns – but thanks to some interesting days and times that we live in, the two often collide in baffling (if not aggravating ways). Case in point: President Donald Trump is infamous for his daily deluge of tweets, but in the midst of the usual tirades against political opponents and/or critics, Trump managed to drop some terminology that has quickly become a trending topic on social media. Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce you to “Obama Netflix!”

Scroll down to see how this whole “Obama Netflix” thing got started:
What He *Really* Said
President Trump suggested that the House Judiciary Committee investigate Barack Obamaโs book deals and Netflix partnership instead of his business. https://t.co/qq0I8XAGvD
โ Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) September 16, 2019
Apparently, Trump was railingย against Obamaย (this time) because of the lucrative media deals the Obamasย have enjoyed since being in office. Deals the president feels are much shadier than any of his own financial dealings.ย
This is Madness!
I guess everyone’s past the point of caring, and standards now only apply to others, but “Obama Netflix?” is the sound of barking madness. https://t.co/ie1ptHmlq2

The actual tweet that Trump sent out really does sound like something that guy on the corner with the doomsday sign might yell…ย
Oh The Irony!
Itโs sort of amazing that he vomits up the words โOBAMA NETFLIX!โ directly after accusing Democrats of being crazy.
โ Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) September 16, 2019
The real irony is that this mad rant was born out of the president’s accusation that the opposing party are the crazy ones.ย

Harry Potter Name
“Obama Netflix, you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.โ

President Trump is known for assigning scathingย nicknames to critics and competitors… Maybe he’s going on aย Harry Potter kick with that practice?ย
