u/Three_Twenty-Three 13d ago
It's the Turkish form of Muhammad! The god of the Muslims!
(Not really, of course, although since the medieval era, it's been a common misunderstanding that Muslims worship Muhammad the way Christians worship Jesus. Muslims were even called "Mohammedans" from about 1660 up until the 1960s, even in respected publications.)
And the Cengiz is the Turkish form of Genghis, as in Genghis Khan, the infamous medieval conqueror.

Yep. They hear Hussein and immediately connect it with Saddam. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
I'm not American so I don't know much about the man or his politics, but Barack Obama seems like he's legit one of the classiest men alive. He deserves better than the shit he's getting right now.

u/JeanEBH 13d ago
Donald Trump canāt pronounce his full name. Heās not familiar with that ethnicity and language. And neither of the three names is negatively related to anyone.
Hussein has been a name associated with ābadā and āterroristāāsince Saddam Hussein, so Trump likes to make that connection.
And MAGA does whatever he says.

u/JustToyingAround73 13d ago
Because they're all hypocrites.
Remember them rising up against Russia? They embrace them now lovingly.
Their rage about pedophiles? Their dear leader is King Pedo himself and refuses to releases the Epstein filesb with his name find some 35k+ times within.
Draining the swamp? LOL, they are swamp and they're draining as much money from the fed reserve and inside trading like it's a candy store.
Wearing a single surgical mask to ward against the spread of covid? ICE agents happily wear them to shoot and kill civilians.
I could really keep going but I have a feeling others here will give other great examples.

Bibi orchestrated October 7th by paying Hamas millions of dollars through Qatar every month and issuing a stand-down order to the IDF to slaughter their own people for an excuse to ethnically cleanse their neighbors in an attempt to reach their goal of greater Israel. They shoot 9 year old children claiming they are terrorists and pack two way radios with explosives with no regard to will have them when they go off. Actual terrorism.

Or how they don't acknowledge Dr Oz being Muslim? Seems like something they would completely jump all over if the shoe was on the other foot.

Seriously asking ā why continue trying to defame Obama? Itās not like heās ever going to be running for political office again. Itās one thing to make blatantly racist remarks about a candidate trying to win office (like what heās saying about El-Sayed), but Obama isnāt running and never will run again.
Why consistently try to drum up hate & fear against someone who is quite frankly politically irrelevant?

u/PathofDestinyRPG 12d ago edited 12d ago
Theyāre trying to link Democrats to radical terrorists in the minds of right wing voters. If you pay attention to how his name is said, theyāre not so much addressing his entire name as they are stressing the Hussein in the middle.

Obama has always been useful to Trump. He uses peopleās fear and hate to drum up support and donations. Obama is the perfect boogeyman for them as he is black, has a weird sounding name (in their minds), and uses big words when speaking, which makes him āan elitistā.

Mr Frump is a petulant child trapped in a Yoda body. He's jealous of Obama so he tries to denigrate him by falsely painting him as a Muslim and playing to his racist base. Mr Patel is a loyal lap dog on a short leash who is nearly as moronic as Frump. Should Patel's status change, the racist hyperbole will be directed at him as well.

Well, ya see, reds looooove to point out that Obama shares a name with Saddam Hussein. If these morons had ever been to a mosque or just met a few folks from the Middle East or just a few Muslims then theyād know the Hussein and Mohammad are suuuuuuper common names.
But then, they donāt care anyway. They just hate anyone thatās non-white.

u/lnTheGrimDarkness 13d ago
Because using his full name would stress how he's the son of two immigrants. Since they're desperately trying to attack adversaries with this argument they can't be completely transparent about the fact that there are many immigrants and descendants of immigrants on their side too. Since it's purely a matter of political belief and obviously not a matter of immigration or being from elsewhere.
