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.”

“Obama said to be ‘livid’ over Trump wiretapping claim”
Looks like President Trump hit a nerve; if Trump’s claims were empty BS, then Obama would’ve said something to the effect that, “Oh, that’s just more nonsense from Trump.”
Also, I wonder if obama is upset about the dozens of NYT articles claiming Trump investigations by his administration based on wiretapping leaks from his tenure, e.g.,

But the bigger question though is if obama is livid that all of the CIAs millions of lines of hacking code were stolen under his watch, including all the of the hacking code that the CIA has itself stolen from foreign actors like the Russian Federation used for misdirecting hacking attribution:

No, not the integrity of the Office of the President, just the integrity of you, obozo.
Does Barack livid Matter?
Trump was practicing his version of taqiyya on Obama.
So what?
Barry Bengazi. Love it!
I like the laughing mobsters from Goodfellas, but this one is good.
“”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.””
HORRORS - how could anyone think such a thing?
“”But Obama ultimately “decided he wouldn’t respond to every intemperate Trump tweet.””
As he proceeds to respond to each and every one...
[ Obama said to be ‘livid’ over Trump wiretapping claim ]
I’m sure any application of truth to BamBam causes that reaction.
I wonder if he has his mom jeans or panties in a twist?
So is he a foot stamper - or does he throw stuff like Hildabest. I bet that he is a foot stamper
