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.”

Proggies get quite upset when any truth is spoken.
I can just see him stamping his little foot, arms folded, and his little lower lip curled down.
Look at the byline. “Yahoo news” is an oxymoron. I actually quit using their browser last year because of the bias in their clickbait. They are among those that meet or exceed the reported 88% bias against President Trump.
Obama’s mouthpieces on the Leftstream Media claim Obama “is not furious.” So either Obama’s people are lying or the Media is lying. As usual.
the integrity of the office of the president
Yeah, that was compromised about 81/2 years ago. Integrity - Obama and the rest of his communist administration can’t spell the word much less live it.
FUBO!
Why should Obama respond? He's got the whole MSM AND Dylan Stableford to 'respond' for him. Conservatives don't have that luxury.
“Obama believes Trump “was questioning both the integrity of the office of the president” and Obama himself,...”
Why so broad? He was only questioning the integrity of Obama
not the office of President. Kind of like a crooked judge. It is the judge that is crooked not the office.
Who is going to be the first journalist to confront Obama with the FACT he had Merkel wiretapped?
Jarrett is livid - Obama has to ask her how he should feel before expressing her opinion. :)
People familiar with his thinking? Do they mean Jakarta street kids who sell their anuses in order to buy food?
Because that is what Obama was.
Trump is doing what the Republicans should have been doing for eight years.
Provoke the thin-skinned little pr**k into a public breakdown.
Today marks 120 consecutive days that I’ve read some news that just thrills me. I hope I don’t get to used to it.
At first, I thought it said “Obama is liver” and I thought “Yeah, he should be covered in onions.”
Hussain Obama has never been called out on ANYTHING in his life.
He doesn’t know how to react to public criticism because he’s never been publicly reprimanded for anything.
Barry, YOU chose to remain in DC.
YOU chose to rent a place just blocks from OUR HOUSE.
YOU chose to remain in the public eye unlike every president before you.
Barry, this is the TRUMPKRIEG and you are playing the part of Germany.
You will come through this half alive, but you will be so battered, tattered and broken that you will be worthless for the next hundred years.
Do the world a favor and crawl into your bunker with the wookie, two cyanide caps and a pistol.
