Final meta point. Trump, despite being a rich, white, native-born, is an outsider lolcow in important circles where I, as foreign-born non-rich brown, am an insider. That this can be true is one of the deep, broad resentments Trump was a messenger for. Just acknowledging that.
There was a basic “put the uppity black back in his place” aspect to Trump’s whole arc of course, from birther controversy onwards. In a way he has no identity 9f his own. He’s simply the anti-Obama in every way.

But if you want a sense of what circles Obama is in that Trump is not, just see Obama’s stand-up routine on Trump in 2011. I’ve been roasted myself a couple of times. This was not an affectionate insider roast but a casting-out as an outsider pariahhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA …

Yes and prior to that, despite still not being palatable or revered in an awe like way, he was net even at worse, rubbing shoulders w/ Clinton’s, Oprah, Epstein and the like — the “elite”, if you will. Obama era is the inflection point

Hmm. Not sure. Running shoulders is not a sign of acceptance. Trump is a prop. A picture with him is not a sign of equality. More like a picture with Mickey mouse at Disney. He’s a common type: inserts himself into the optics of narratives without being in the stories.
