"I'm president, and you're not."

[Nanaboostme]

This says it all. It still bugs me to this day, and not what typically Trump-supporters would think I'm annoyed at.
Has a president or US leader even said such statement? And how is this statement in anyways productive?

He seems to have left the "neener neener neener" part off the end.

No different than Obama's "I won"

[Kelthos]

Nixon said something kind of like that when he said it wasn't illegal for him to wiretap b/c he was the president.

[Devilyaki]

Funny that they voted for him.

No different than Obama's "I won"

Looked that up. He didn't actually say that:

A visibly frustrated President Obama delivered a blunt message to Republicans with whom he had feuded over the government shutdown and the debt ceiling over the past month on Tuesday: Elections matter. I won; you lost. Deal with it.

That's a paraphrase -- obviously. Here's what Obama actually said:

You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about.

When Trump speaks, you don't have to paraphrase. He speaks in paraphrases.

It's a convenient objectively true retort to someone who criticizes him.

Obviously it's a vacuous phrase though, similar to Obama's "right side of history".

[De Lupe]

I'd probably struggle to not laugh my ass off if he said that to my face.

The fact that he equates so much of his self worth to being the President, to the point of everyone else "not being the president" is a justified belittlement in his eyes, is honestly a little sad.

He did say it bragging about both wins.

Same meaning, Trump just said it in his unfiltered manner. Would you have had a different opinion if he spoke in the same manner as Obama? I would guess no.

There's a popular saying out there, if you dislike/hate a person, then no matter what they do you will view it as ugly and hateful. It applies to this forum more than anything seeing so many "reaction" threads on the politics.

Also the two other branches of government helps with that.
