Cool, even-keeled, no-drama Barack Obama is one of the few people in the country who hasnt publicly opined on the tweets and turmoil wrought by President Trump. And so a persistent question to those close to the former president is: What does Obama really think of the man now occupying the Oval Office?
Hes nothing but a bullshter, Obama told two friends early last November, describing an election night phone call with Trump, in which the businessman suddenly professed his respect and admiration for Obamaafter years of hectoring.
Speaking to PEOPLE for its new cover story on Obama and his wife Michelle adjusting to life outside the White House, the two friends quoted Obamas blunt assessment of President-elect Trump. And how has Obamas opinion changed since Trump been in office? Well, said one of the sources, it hasnt gotten any better.
A third source close to Obama tells PEOPLE: Hes deeply concerned with what hes seen. But hes also optimistic and heartened that citizens arent just watching it happen but engaging with neighbors and elected representatives at town halls.
Bullster, while head-turning, shouldnt come as a huge surprise to anyone paying attention to Obamas 2016 campaign rhetoric on Trump (unfit, woefully unprepared and unacceptable). But the former president has been meticulous since the election about not publicly violating that unwritten code of conduct among ex-presidents that bars criticizing whoevers currently in the Oval Office.
