Donald Trump is jealous of just about everyone who’s smarter, more popular, or more accomplished than he is. Trump has consistently shown that he’s particularly jealous of Barack Obama, his immediate predecessor. Obama has run circles around Trump in terms of accomplishments, integrity, and popularity, and Trump just can’t handle it.

That brings us to the fact that President Obama is now scheduled to give a commencement address for the Class of 2020 next weekend, which will be broadcast live on every major TV network. This came about after students began petitioning Obama to give the speech, since they won’t get to have traditional commencement ceremonies.

Given how increasingly sheltered Donald Trump is from real news these days, it’s unlikely that he even knows yet that President Obama is set to give this speech. In fact we pretty much know that Trump doesn’t know, because if he did, he’d already be raging about it.

Once Donald Trump does find out, he’ll decide that he’s the one who should be giving the commencement address, seeing how he’s the sitting President of the United States. And Trump would have a point, if he weren’t a toxically unpopular monster who wouldn’t be wanted at most graduation ceremonies. But Trump will get wind of Obama’s upcoming speech soon enough, and we’ll be looking at a psychotic meltdown for the ages.
