I understand that, but this is aimed at pissing Barry off and forcing a reaction. You can tell a LOT about an opponent from maneuvers like this. Trump is running the show, and he is yanking Obama’s chain like a cow with a ring in its nose. It’s HYSTERICALLY funny to watch!
I was reading this to my husband and he was reminded of this line from Braveheart:
“We’re here to pick a fight”.

Normally the ring’s in the bull’s nose.
