a POTUS. even when Nixon lied, he wasn't dissing a former POTUS.

These insane projections are mindblowing- first it was against Hillary and threats to Lock Her UP and now he's calling Obama a Bad (or sick) guy.

Michelle Obama was right in warning us that Trump's character flaws would be magnified once in WH. However Pres. Obama was much too optimistic in his post-election statements where he predicted that Trump would pivot out of crazy campaign mode once he realized serious responsibilities of WH- About time for a good smack down from Pres. Obama

I think not, actually. This is one of those times where the best play is silence. Let the nuttery just sit there for a while for all to observe. Trump is trying to draw him in to change the conversation and create a Trump vs. Obama media storm that only benefits Trump. He's counting on Obama to weigh in, which is why he should not.

PBO is not going to get in a pissing match with Drumpf. However Drumpf will lose a media war with PBO because he is beloved by the MSM and has a favorable rating twenty five points higher than Drumpf. PBO just needs to float above the fray.

Drumpf dissed the wrong cat.

Better to let the insane ranting, constant leaks and changing stories from Trump entourage continue uninterrupted

Commentators on MSNBC this morning have been saying Trump has really shot himself in foot. They are debunking notion of any Obama or political involvement in FISA warrant

Nixon was paranoid, but nothing like the level of Trump's paranoia and other psychiatric disorders.

"during the very sacred election process."


Well, who is going to break it to Trump that it was because the election process is so sacred that the warrant was approved.

I can't really be said to remember the first 2 - but definitely Orange Disaster is something entirely different. Even Reagan and Dubya are looking reasonable now.

17. Didn't he once say that Obama "liked" him?

President Obama went above and beyond to make him feel welcome immediately after an election that looked illegal from the start. Obama wouldn't say anything against him or the results. He was always a gentleman and a statesman.

Now drumpf calls him "bad (or sick)"---??? Drumpf is totally off the rails if he thinks Pres. Obama was out to get him. He is the bad and sick one.
