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.”

During the campaign, Trump branded Obama the “founder of ISIS,” and Obama declared that Trump would never be president.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Guess who was wrong...

Literally the first time in 8 years that Obama has cared about this.

After which obozo proceeded to lay as many traps — EO, administrative, appointment-wise, etc. — as humanly possible.
obozo is a snake in the grass and deserves anything bad that happens to him.

But Obama ultimately “decided he wouldn’t respond to every intemperate Trump tweet.” Good idea, Barky. Exercise your right to remain silent. Ensures anything you say from being used against you in a court of law.

Sounds like the boy can’t take the heat. I hope the boy has years and years full of being “livid”.
