Buried somewhere deep in his addled mind, Drumpf knows Obama was a far superior president and is clearly someone with more integrity and class.
All of his pettiness stems from that. When you're clearly a racist, being confronted with a black guy who's better than you in every way has got to sting.

Snopes asked the State Department for confirmation? This could only be ascertained off the record and by the US South African Embassy. The story has believability because it sounds like something Trump would do.
Believability doesn't equal truth.

You're right! It couldn't be more obvious that that is what motivates Trump's attitude towards Obama. Obama was not only black, but an admirable and loving husband and father who clearly had the love, trust and respect of his wife and daughters. He set a good example about how to be both a good spouse and father that Trump knows he cannot come close to matching. Trump cheated on his first wife with the woman who became his second wife, and did the same to the second one with Melania, who became his third. He never denied or apologized for that (as far as I know). If anything, he actually revelled in or boasted about the fact. Does anyone seriously doubt that he has cheated on Melania as well? I'm sure Melania doesn't doubt it! I don't think his children doubt it either!

No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

At least she would have a hard time dismissing the recordings made by Micheal Cohen or if Shera Bechard's baby sported a really weird comb-over.

The Karen McDougal thing pretty much removes all doubt.
ETA: How could there ever be any doubt? This is a guy who brags about his indiscretions. The only doubt is over how much action an old douche like him really gets (as opposed to how much he has to pay for, or assault for...).

Re: Trump being Petty.
It is particularly galling that Trump is given a pass by his base for past indiscretions more numerous and serious than other indiscretions for which other politicians, including popular governors and members of Congress, have been forced to resign from office, or even face criminal prosecution.
