Report: Obama was furious after Trump accused him of wiretapping

[babylonsister]

That's the headline of this Hill article, but no words from Obama, so who the hell knows? Dishonest at best.

1. Probably false

Sounds like payback for the headline "Trump furious over Jeff Sessions recusal."

[Cha]

6. Really

2. Hasn't The Hill been leaning right lately? This sort of story would be eaten up by righties.

[babylonsister]

11. I don't think as much as I used to think.

The Hill and Politico have for the most part been reporting facts imo. Maybe they've reached their limit, too.

That's why this caught me by surprise.

[Jim Beard]

21. I have also noticed it leaning to the right.

3. 'An aide to Obama told the Wall Street Journal

the former president had decided he would not respond to every one of the his successor's tweets. But people familiar with Obama's thinking told the WSJ he was livid after Trump posted several tweets early Saturday morning making serious accusations. . .

An Obama spokesman later responded:

“A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” said Kevin Lewis. “As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”'

4. Obama Shouldn't Give Him The Satisfaction

[babylonsister]

12. Or laugh in his face.

That too would piss the big baby off. I don't know. I suspect he'll eventually have to say something.

[Me.]

14. PBO Should JUst Dust Him Off His Shoulder

I hope he doesn't say anything because that's just what the big baby wants, his attention.

[Cha]

5. Yeah, I doubt trump's stupid lies have that power over President Obama

I see him calm cool and collected..

Link to tweet

[thecrow]

16. I can see another "Please proceed, Mr. T" ....!

He's probably got his popcorn ready.

[Cha]

17. Obama with popcorn watching trump implode..

thecrow

[thecrow]

20. Yes, that's exactly it!

Thank you

7. I would hope that PBO

has him on ignore.

I know he doesn't, but he's a too respectable man to fall for this idiot's bait.

[milestogo]

8. Yeah, I could tell by all those early morning tweets.

[Barack_America]

9. Obama's holdovers are propping up this phony regime...

...you know, actually getting shit done and governing while Trump's people fail at every level.

So yeah, he might think twice about fucking with Obama right now.

[dalton99a]

10. Doubtful. Look at all the years Trump tried that birther shit on him.

[JHan]

13. I'd expect him to be furious, I would be ,, any of us would be.

Trump pulled a disgusting stunt.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Trump is paranoid and delusional. Why can't everyone see this? nt

[DefenseLawyer]

18. Sorry "The Hill" you lost me at "according to the editor of NewsMax" n/t

[dalton99a]

23. +1

[ProudLib72]

19. I'm not going to believe

any of this "an aide said" crap. Having it come from the WH and Obama is too much to handle.

[nini]

22. He probably expected it.

Obama knows how trumps mind works.
