President Trump’s recent Twitter attacks against former President Barack Obama, including his evidence-free claim that Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower before the election, have apparently put a strain on what Trump had recently described as their unlikely friendship.
An Obama aide told the Wall Street Journal that the former president was “livid” over the accusation that he ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower.
Obama believes Trump “was questioning both the integrity of the office of the president” and Obama himself, according to “people familiar with his thinking,” the Journal reported Wednesday.
But Obama ultimately “decided he wouldn’t respond to every intemperate Trump tweet.”
In interviews during the transition and first few weeks of the new administration, Trump bragged about a budding friendship with Obama.
“We had a very good chemistry,” Trump said after his first meeting with Obama following the election. “I found him to be terrific. I found him to be — very smart and very nice. Great sense of humor, as much as you can have a sense of humor talking about tough subjects, but we were talking about some pretty tough subjects.”

“Obama said to be ‘livid’ over Trump wiretapping claim”
WoW, how do you think President Trump feels about being wiretapped by obama?!?
Ask ValJar....
Just waiting for Obama to unequivocally deny it happened. He can’t and he won’t.
I bet he is. He thought he'd covered his tracks pretty well.
Obama is LIVID, because he knows he’s guilty. He never thought he’d get caught...
How livid is he going to be being shuffled off in an orange jumpsuit?
Found out about it on CNN, i imagine. /sarc
The man who lied his way to Obamacare, is lecturing us on integrity.
““Yahoo News.”’
The only thing lower than Yahoo News on the journalism front is Slate and the Huffington Post.
GOOD!!!!
waiting for Obama to unequivocally deny it happened
I did not see the slightest indication of a denial.
Good, I can’t wait for the breaking news of Obama being led from his compound in handcuffs on every news outlet!
I don’t know about that, CNN is racing hard and fast for that coveted last place slot.
“livid”???
Other sources are reporting him as just “irked” & “exasperated”.
ValJar moved in to keep the wheels on Omuslim’s wagon (emotional & otherwise ... he NEEDS a puppet master) & to try to keep his head above the level of that smelly stuff coming off of Trump’s ‘fan’ at warp speed.
Ubama can just stick that up his butt. I’m sure it would fit. I bet there have been bigger items than that up there.
The best defense is an offense, as they say.
Fake News.
