Far-right documentary filmmaker and Trump pardoned felon Dinesh D'Souza has a major problem with former President Barack Obama's new memoir—A Promised Land which sold 1.7 million copies in its first week on the shelves.

D'Souza is simply aghast at Obama's repeated use of the first person to narrate his own life. 


D'Souza's critique certainly didn't come out of left field. 

The commentator has written plenty of his own books, including one titled The Roots of Obama's Rage in 2010. His wildly anti-Obama documentary based on that book, called 2016: Obama's America made over $33 million.

Hating Obama is big business for D'Souza.

To give a taste of his political leanings, D'Souza's other films include Death of a Nation and Trump Card, a polemic against the evils of socialist ideas in the contemporary United States.

It's also worth noting that in 2018 Donald Trump pardoned D'Souza of a felony conviction for making illegal contributions to political campaigns.

So D'Souza knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Giphy

But criticizing a memoir for referencing its subject matter is a stretch.

In his 700-page book, Obama covered many essential traits of a memoir. He traced his biographical roots and upbringing, followed the trajectory of his life through his time as President and captured the subtle dynamics underpinning the historical events of his presidency that many of us remember.

And, yes, Obama referred to himself in the first person throughout the book. Presumably, spending the entire book calling himself "Obama" felt a little bizarre from behind the keyboard.

People on Twitter lampooned D'Souza's critique.

They had a field day explaining how utterly ridiculous his latest Obama hot take was.



Some people took the opportunity to mentor D'Souza on his own public image.




One person even crunched the numbers to show how Obama's book compared to one published as by Donald Trump, but written by Tony Schwartz.

D'Souza better strap in for plenty of more "I" usage in autobiographies. A second volume of Obama's memoir is planned for the future.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
