President Trump’s recent Twitter attacks against former President Barack Obama, including his evidence-free claim that Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower before the election, have apparently put a strain on what Trump had recently described as their unlikely friendship.
An Obama aide told the Wall Street Journal that the former president was “livid” over the accusation that he ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower.
Obama believes Trump “was questioning both the integrity of the office of the president” and Obama himself, according to “people familiar with his thinking,” the Journal reported Wednesday.
But Obama ultimately “decided he wouldn’t respond to every intemperate Trump tweet.”
In interviews during the transition and first few weeks of the new administration, Trump bragged about a budding friendship with Obama.
“We had a very good chemistry,” Trump said after his first meeting with Obama following the election. “I found him to be terrific. I found him to be — very smart and very nice. Great sense of humor, as much as you can have a sense of humor talking about tough subjects, but we were talking about some pretty tough subjects.”

There ought to be a rule against “integrity” and “Obama” in the same sentence.
Obama unavailable today for day without women,
tomorrow, s(he) will draw a red line and write a strongly worded letter.
Love these NYT visuals. People get them. The split-hair rationale of the NYT after the SHTF, not so much. Keep it coming. Like winning, I never get tired of seeing this one.
Check out the comments on the site. Middle schoolers.
No need to “question” Obozo’s integrity, he has none.
Thanks. Some of out easily offended ones don’t like seeing that visual that rips the guts out of the lies from the Slimes and other liberals.
Another red line! Oh my!! Trump needs to be careful of being lectured to death.
Very biased article. These pretend journalists should be ashamed.
It's also said that he was born in the US, and he loves our military and would let us keep our doctors if we liked them.
What could be wrong with a well turned ankle and a good leg for a boot.
Truth hurts eh Berry ?
“evidence-free claim”

So I guess the four reporters who wrote the New York Times article should probably be fired, right?
Sleaze bags do usually get angry when they are caught
Depends on whose ankle and leg!:)

Guaranteed he was behind this espionage, either directly or indirectly, through surrogates like Loretta "We need more marching, blood and death in the streets" Lynch.
He only found out about it by watching the news, like the rest of us did. /s
He shouldn't, not after he and the press jabbed their voodoo dolls of Dubya every day for the last eight years. Dubya never uttered a peep. Say what you will about Dubya, but he was a man about it. Zero is already squealing like a little girl.
It’s just amazing that multiple news sources report the same thing at the same time! /s
So now they’ll report that the “only” reason he has people to monitor Trump is due to this allegation. BS. They were there in the first place and it is still undermining the office of POTUS.
