Trump Still Has a Bad Case of Obama Envy

Obama Presidential Center stirs Trump's jealousy — and contractor payment disputes

The opening of the Obama Presidential Center has intensified what commentators describe as Trump's long-running envy of his predecessor's legacy and public standing. Multiple outlets analyzed Trump's psychological fixation on Obama, with The Bulwark calling it 'Obama envy' and Salon noting the new center's unveiling has ramped up Trump's jealousy. Separately, contractors working on the Obama Presidential Center say they are owed millions in unpaid fees, adding a financial controversy to the project's launch.
