It reportedly says Obama called Trump a "corrupt motherf---er," a "madman," and a "f---ing lunatic."
Obama and Trump have long had a testy relationship.
After leaving office in 2017, President Barack Obama, known for his affable nature, largely didn't speak out against his successor, President Donald Trump.
But by the time the 2020 presidential campaign came around, the gloves were off.
With Joe Biden in the throes of a campaign to unseat an incumbent president, Obama made several high-profile campaign appearances for his former vice president where he slammed Trump.

You know Trump is bad when "no drama Obama" says that about him.

(16,426 posts)Bothsidesism? I really don't think so. For one thing, this material comes from a pro-Democratic book ("Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Trump" - coming out on May 25. And for another, there is absolutely no air of that sort of thing about it, imo.
The author is just reporting on what Obama was saying behind the scenes, particularly during the Biden campaign, and I love it. Preternaturally calm and unflappable Obama making some strongly worded comments about the Orange Asswipe just feels RIGHT to me. Other than Hillary Clinton, no one on the planet has more richly earned the right to badmouth that pos than Barack Obama.
I like your description better.
Maybe it's in how the book's contents are being portrayed in this article. After 8 years of hearing reporting on what President Obama supposedly said by some news anchor talking over him. When it's plainly not. Then four years of not being told of the squatter's undoubtedly constant outrageous outbursts and stampy fits in the WH, I'm pretty sensitive about the subject.
