What's happening in the cosmos?! -- Drumpf told his fizzled event that he *liked* President OBAMA!!!

It's too much to expect context from the NY Post and the original source, Sun Sentinel is pay-walled.

Trump says he ‘liked’ Obama during Florida event with Bill O’Reilly

.... Speaking at the kickoff of his four-date “History Tour” with Bill O’Reilly at an arena in Sunrise, Florida, the Republican said of Obama, “I liked him,” while also calling him “smart and sharp,” according to The Sun Sentinel.

But Trump also told the crowd that Obama’s methods caused “tremendous division” and hatred in the country, the newspaper reported.

The compliments were a drastic change for Trump, who spent five years falsely claiming that Obama wasn’t born in the US, and made bogus claims about his two terms in office. He had also labeled the former president “the most ignorant president in our history,” “a disaster” and the “founder of ISIS.” ....

Trump’s stated admiration for Obama is not without precedent however. In 2009 he told CNN “I think he’s doing a great job.”

“He was a terrible President. Probably one of the worst ever.”

Too lazy to look it up, but I’m sure it’s somewhere.

He thinks it elevates his image to say it about everyone. It is meaningless just like the rest of his codswallop.

8. I suspect in person Barack Obama is one of the most likeable people in Washington-

which is, to be fair, populated with some rather unlikeable people!

Trump, however, I think is just doing his sht-thing. "I'm so contrarian! I'm so defiant! I hate McConnell and I like Obama!"

Somehow I think: McConnell reciprocates the feeling Trump has. Obama does not.
imagine having worked so hard-- 8 years- and then to have to spend the next 4 watching Trump trash everything like a vicious vandal.
