President Donald Trump accused "Obama people' of leaking less-than-favorable details about his tense phone calls with Australian and Mexican leaders, calling the leakers "disgraceful" in an interview with Fox News published Monday.

Trump accused holdovers from former President Barack Obama's administration of sharing the information with reporters, telling Fox's Judith Miller that he is working hard to replace them with his own picks.

“It’s a disgrace that they leaked because it’s very much against our country,” Trump told Miller. “It’s a very dangerous thing for this country." Trump did not indicate why he believed the leaks came from Obama administration holdovers.

The President denied reports about the calls, telling Miller that the tone was mischaracterized and that in fact he had "positive" calls with foreign leaders.

4. It sure seemed like the Australia leak came from Australia

[DetlefK]

5. What about him turning off the recorder for the phone-call with Putin?

Is he afraid that somebody would leak what was being said?

12. It was a thank you call from lackey Trump to his master.

6. Once more

Alternative facts!

7. Momma always told me, "Don't do anything you wouldn't want on the front page of the newspaper."

Trump is the only disgrace I see here. If he wants to talk about a disgrace to his country, how about what he said to Bill O'Reilly regarding Putin and killers and how our country is not so perfect?

[Solly Mack]

8. lololol

Beyond pathetic.

Of course his supporters will believe the lie.

9. Hey Donald, Obama is watching your every move and has a camera above your bed

[onenote]

10. Who are these "Obama people" and how are they getting info about Trump's calls?

And how is that the king of "You're Fired" still has these people on his staff if he knows they're leaking information to the press?

[Purrfessor]

16. Don't you know, Obama people are everywhere? Lurking in every dark shadow...

Around every corner. Disguised as shrubbery outside the Oval Office windows. Rumor has it there are two or three hiding between the Oval Office walls. And they are all equipped with highly sophisticated eavesdropping devices and super-tiny camcorders with even tinier built-in hard drives capable of storing 2,000 or more terrabytes of video.

19. Crap. I just assumed those were the Russians.

[Purrfessor]

21. You are right about the Russians. They are there too...

But working undercover as "Friends of Trump."

[Sunlei]

11. Public record. All calls are to be listed right here, many are not. Republicans allow incompetence

13. It's not true so let him think that

His own people are having a power struggle and stabbing backs

[billh58]

14. Replace "Obama People"

with "Concerned Americans" and he is absolutely correct. His alt-right bootlickers would be happy to let him destroy decades of trust building with other countries.

[Mc Mike]

15. When you want the truth about something, no better place to go

than an interview of donnie drumpf, conducted by Judith Miller.

That's what I always say.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. I'm surprised he didn't call them 'Bastard People'.

[world wide wally]

18. He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake... Hey, Megan Kelly!

Maybe Santa Claus isn't white after all!

20. Holdovers

I would think that if there were Obama holdovers around they could show them where the light switches are.

[keithbvadu2]

22. So fire them, Donald! He says he wants to shrink gov't.

31. Awww...what a fun job...

So rewarding to read and respond to kid's letters. I would love doing that!

Awesome President Obama took the time to make the letters important.

[Angry Dragon]

34. good find

[TeamPooka]

25. There are no Obama people left in the White House. It's all Trump people.

God save us all.

26. This is more paranoid and delusional thinking.

For cryin' out loud. This guy is seriously ill.

It's really too bad that Jim McDermott (WA) is no longer a Congressional Rep. He was trained as a psychiatrist. He might have been able
to influence a handful of Republicans to get the ball rolling on the 25th Amendment.

27. Voices, I hear voices

In my head the voice is waiting, waiting for me to set it free
I locked it inside my imagination, but I'm the one who's got the combination
Some people didn't like what the voice did say
So I took the voice and I locked it away, I got the key, I got the key

28. Thanks, Obama!

May the leaks continue.

[TubbersUK]

29. He loved leaks, particularly Wikileaks, during the election. n/t

[chowder66]

30. He loves the leaks. He can't help loving everything about himself, good or bad. He's a fucking liar.

[Blue_Roses]

32. They all left when President Obama left

right? I haven't heard of any holdovers.

[Angry Dragon]

35. Trump should get some people to answer the White House phones

[Doitnow]

36. Maybe the people he's talking about are his own people leaking and none

of them dare tell him he's off his rocker.

[Cha]

37. trump is very very dangerous for our country.

fixed it.

[Brother Buzz]

38. Ah, but the strawberries, that's, that's where I had them....

they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I've had produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. (He pauses - looked at all the questioning faces that stared back at him, and realizes that he has been ranting and raving) Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them.
