Trump ended up making one of his political rivals look better with online critics after a swipe backfired.
In a Saturday Truth Social post, Trump shared a picture of himself when he was younger in his military school uniform next to a picture of an 18-year-old Obama with a cigarette in his mouth while donning a fedora.
However, online critics reacted by saying that Obama looked better and brought up stories about Trump when he was that age.
"Trump just posted a photo of Obama aura mogging him," wrote political commentator Adam Mockler.
"Trump was in his 20s when the DOJ began investigating him for discriminating against Black renters," noted political watchdog account PatriotTakes.
"We all know who the better hang is," posted journalist Aaron Rupar.
"Imagine posting a side by side making your opp look so awesome and you look like a giant big earred dweeb," wrote political strategist Matt Royer. "He really thought he cooked here."
"Trump was actually 17-18 in this photo," political news network MeidasTouch noted. "His parents sent him to a military boarding school for behavioral issues & bullying. Now he uses the photo to pretend he was in the military."
Political strategist Chris Jackson reacted by posting a picture of a smiling Biden in his twenties with the caption, "Joe Biden at 20 > Donald Trump at 20."
