Donald Trump just can’t help himself when it comes to Barack Obama.
The current occupant of the White House is so incensed with his predecessor that he would even shamelessly copy him in a tribute to National Basketball Association legend, Kobe Bryant who died over the weekend.
Moments after news of Kobe’s death broke, Trump sent out a nonsensical tweet calling it “terrible news!”
“Reports are that basketball great Kobe Bryant and three others have been killed in a helicopter crash in California. That is terrible news!” Trump wrote.
Moments later, Obama posted a thoughtful tweet honoring Kobe, showing Trump how it is done.
“Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act,” Obama tweeted later Sunday. “To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents,” Obama wrote.
“Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day,” Obama continued.
Trump then tweeted a second time, this time shamelessly copying Obama.
“Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time, was just getting started in life. He loved his family so much, and had such strong passion for the future. The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating. Melania and I send our warmest condolences to Vanessa and the wonderful Bryant family. May God be with you all!”
