Obama Reportedly Said Trump ‘Knows Absolutely Nothing’ After 2016 White House Meeting
Daily Caller ^ | 11/26/19

Posted on 11/26/2019 3:59:55 PM PST by Enlightened1

Former President Barack Obama reportedly told a visitor that President Donald Trump “knows absolutely nothing” after the two met at the White House in 2016.

Obama and his small staff had to deal with “a crazy president personally obsessed with Obama” after Trump won in 2016, Politico reported Tuesday. The former president has gradually become more vocal against Trump since the election, but appears to have privately voiced concerns throughout Trump’s tenure.

“He [Trump] knows absolutely nothing,” Obama reportedly said after one White House meeting.

Obama “held out hope” for a traditional relationship as past and current president, Obama’s first post-presidential press secretary Kevin Lewis said, according to Politico. However, Trump’s policies and apparent attacks of the former president forced Obama’s hand.

“He [Obama] wanted to be a resource,” according to Lewis. “What we didn’t expect at the level that it was done were the attacks.”

What I liked about Trump was that he WASN’T a politician. Not part of the political establishment.

Maybe Obama’s been so forgotten , even among black Democrats, that he desperately needs publicity, and knows if he can agitate a reaction out of Trump the tweetstorm will not only give Obama 15 more minutes of fame but Trump might tweet something they can spin as racist to woo back black voters.

They didn’t publish the whole exchange, only Obama’s response. Here’s the full text:

Visitor: Do you think Trump has any idea about what Brennan and Comey have cooked up to spy on him and leak dirt to the press?

Obama: He knows nothing.

Obama’s first post-presidential press secretary Kevin Lewis said, recalling a moment where the president tweeted out that Obama had wiretapped him in Trump Tower. “He [Obama] desperately wanted to adhere to the precedent but it was an unprecedented moment. So we focused more on addressing the lie than talking about Trump’s character.”
“Focusing addressing the lie”, but it was not a lie and everyone knows it.

Trump was aware, during his campaign, that obama was spying on him, and plotting against him. Why would Trump speak with obama about anything?

Obama was “groomed “ for the job by the CIA and Trump wasn’t!

Obama was more likely a KGB puppet or whatever they call it now.

His parents spoke Russian. He gave his kids Russian first names, like Bill Ayer’s. He promised the Russians more flexibility after his reelection. He persuaded the Ukrainians to disarm. He sabotaged the missile defense agreement with eastern European countries. He allowed Cuban intelligence to tour SOCOM. He tried to reinstall a communist in Honduras. He dumped massive amounts of pre regime Iranian money - plus interest- on the regime that overthrew the Shah and aligned themselves with the USSR, then Russia, Cuba, and Chavez’s Venezuela. He picked a communist CIA chief and surrounded himself with people who had long sang the Soviet Union’s praises. He was just the sort of person the Russians trained at their Patrice Lumumba University.

Trump’s Inaugural Address — “it stops here, it stops now”” — was an EPIC smackdown of Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America.

The cabal were called out & humiliated in front of the whole world.

“Meaning what?”

said Trump knew nothing about Spygate and, with the help of the FakeNewsMSM, he hoped he wouldn’t find out.

Obama is the most arrogant man on the planet. He knew zero when he got elected.
