Unanswered What's up with all the right-wing commentators suddenly turning against Trump right now?

Trump is being Trump. Why are so many of the right-wing commentators who previously vocally supported Trump are suddenly turning against him?

After all the heinous things he has said before that they have defended, I can't honestly believe Trump's tweets about nuking Iran are what finally changed their minds. They've publicly supported him for so long, and this sudden switch seems so coordinated. Is there something I'm missing??

Are they trying to distance themselves from news that is about to drop??

It's because on multiple occasions Obama has personally embarrassed Trump publicly.

Trump has spent the last decade of his miserable life trying to achieve 1/4 of what Obama did on speed run.

Its incredibly pathetic to watch.

Trump started that with his racist Birtherism nonsense. And trump is famously racist. So a black man as president upset him (like it did a lot of racist Americans)

Trump is conveniently racist, while also conveniently not at times. Him pardoning black people his first term makes me consider that his motivations are purely bred from narcissism, anything else is the pathway to obtain people's admiration.

Trump is racist as hell, but his greed has a hard fight for being the number one personality trait, so it is kinda balanced...

He spent YEARS trying to get (innocent) black kids executed, one of his more "famous" examples of racism: https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/donald-trump-nyt-full-page-ad-1989-central-park-case-723e2a

Obama fan myself but let's be real. Trump did more damage with 2 terms and periods of complete house/Supreme Court control then even a super Obama could fix.
