Trump says Obama is helping to organize protests against his presidency

just saw a clip from Fox show on CNN

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/02/27/trump-says-obama-is-helping-to-organize-protests-against-his-presidency/?utm_term=.586491989ac6


President Trump has been dismissing the protests against his presidency and demonstrations at congressional town hall meetings across the country as concocted by his political enemies. But now he has an alleged culprit: Barack Obama.

In an interview Monday with Fox News Channel, Trump said that he believes his predecessor is helping to organize the protests.

"I think that President Obama is behind it because his people certainly are behind it," Trump said. "In terms of him being behind things, that's politics. It will probably continue."

Trump made his comments during an interview at the White House with "Fox & Friends" anchors Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt. Most of the interview will air Tuesday morning, in advance of Trump's formal address to a joint session of Congress, but Fox released an excerpt Monday of his remarks about Obama.


from his Hawaiian investigators, no doubt

Nixon was...many thanks to HS Thompson, RIP

his unraveling over the final years of his horrorshow presidency was a wonder to behold

RMN's public unfrocking pales in comparison to this trumpaganza, though

when someone makes Nixon look mildly neurotic, and makes you do a quadruple take and wonder how on earth such an obvious psychotic got as far as he did....wonder what HL Mencken would've had to say about it

Pres. Obama took the high road, even though it must have pained him deeply. The Obamas were gracious to the Trumps and this is the thanks they got.

Ugh. He has no class.

If he weren't born into money he'd surely be broke, jobless, divorced, behind on child support and living off his mom's social security $$ in her basement. What a loser. Can anyone imagine such an incompetent person achieving anything in life if they weren't being spoonfed millions and coddled their entire life?

…if we get enough Obama supporters protesting, the Republican Senate and Republican House, along with a majority of the Republican-controlled states, will repeal the 22nd Amendment and allow for Obama to run again in 2020? Or maybe even, with no Constitutional basis whatsoever, decide to order a re-run of the presidential race this year?



Granted, if there was some way Obama could run again, is there any doubt he'd clean Mad King Donald's clock?
