It sounds ludicrous and oversimplified if you're not a huge racist with a host of insecurities, but "Obama" is one of the key explanations for a lot of what Trump and Republicans do.
(Other similar explanations include "gender" and "to own the libs.")

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

Inside Bari Weiss’s Hostile Takeover of CBS News
The network’s new editor-in-chief has championed a press free from élite bias, while aligning herself with a billionaire class more willing than ever to indulge Donald Trump.

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

I think one reason they feel comfortable constantly repeating this obvious nonsense is because there isn't a single right-wing media personality or operation that isn't astroturfed by billionaire sociopaths or foreign governments
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Convicting ICE officers with juries of their peers is going to be possible.
However all of this depends on Minnesota officials having the courage and fight to bring and win these prosecutions.

There is no statute of limitations for any crime involving death. Ross is going to be prosecuted eventually.
State crimes cannot be pardoned by Trump.
And according to this article ICE officers are now breaking many laws.
