Trump says Obama behind leaks - CNNPolitics.com

President Donald Trump said he believes former President Barack Obama has been behind the leaks within his administration and the sizable, angry town hall crowds Republicans have faced across the country.

Trump was asked in an interview on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" if he believed Obama was responsible for the town hall protests against Republicans this month.
"It turns out his organization seems to do a lot of these organizing to some of the protests that these Republicans are seeing around the country against you. Do you believe President Obama is behind it and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called unsaid presidents' code?" Trump was asked.

"No, I think he is behind it. I also think it is politics, that's the way it is," Trump replied.

This Sessions stuff today is just too delicious but, in other news, Trump says OBAMA behind leaks. :lamo :lamo :lamo

Is this the first time a sitting president has accused the previous administration of active sabotage???

When Steve Bannon shouts "The media still doesn't understand why Trump is president." Neither does Trump if he's blaming Town Halls and leaks on Obama. Trump is president because Americans are finished with neoliberalism and neocons alike.. The jig is up for the 1%. You can crack the heads of Occupy protestors, mace the water protectors at DAPL, and torpedo Bernie Sanders campaign, all you want but, when the TRUTH gets out there you can't detain, mace, and rubber bullet the truth.
 
Obama is living the good life, enjoying his retirement. It is Trump's fault that the Trump Whitehouse leaks like a sieve.

From a picture of a vacationing Barack Obama, someone made the connection, that Obama is living Trump's old life, and Trump is living Obama's, haha.
 


I mean...its not like leftists havent been caught on tape admitting that not only are they agitating and fomenting racial hatred and violence. They have been paid to do it. The organizers are recorded having hundreds of visits tothe White House and meeting with Obama and Valerie Jarret.

Come on...you are better served being PROUD of it than denying it.
 
So that means the New Rebooted Trump lasted, what, 36 hours?
 
I'm tired of people blaming democratic politicians or George Soros for these organized protests and town halls. Just because a grassroots movement knows how to organize does not mean some evil mastermind has to be behind it. Maybe they are just competent.

It's typical smoke and mirrors. If the protest aren't real then the politicians don't have to fix the problems that aren't real.

Their playbook requires a boogeyman. Since GOP has all branches of fed government right now, they're out of boogeymen, so they're knee-jerking to the one they spent the last eight years constructing.

I agree, but we are talking maximum level divisiveness with stances like these. Politicians blatantly trying to convince republican voters at local levels that their neighbors, who are protesting, are bought off and part of some dark plot. It's really shameful.

The fact that they are LITERALLY boasting that they are in fact organizing and spending money to disrupt townhalls...thats not relevant to you...right?

Who are they? Obama and Soros? If you mean people in indivisible, or some other group, are happy to lay into republican politicians I don't see your point. Protesting would be pretty useless if it wasn't disruptive in some way.

See "OFA".

I mean...if you care to actually 'see' anything but what you want to 'see'.

I understand that OFA is using the Tea Party model. They are using a combination of grassroots momentum and big money. That doesn't delegitimize the protests and town halls that we are seeing. OFA may be looking to define specific positions for these groups to take, but the anger is very real.

Obama Sabotaged Trump's Transition To The White House | The Daily Caller

Your article posits that Obama, out of indignation, sought to destabilize Trump's transition through methods like lowering security levels on the Russian investigation, to proliferate access to FBI findings, and banking on it would end up in the press' hands. Maybe. On the other hand Obama may have been genuinely concerned for American security. I don't want my government officials in cahoots with Putin. I don't want them making decisions with Russian deals in mind.

I'd like to point out that Sally Yates warned Trump about Flynn before she was fired. She said, look out, we've got some evidence on your boy Flynn, and you might want to reconsider him being apart of your administration. Trump ignored her and it blew up in his face. Now, he's blaming Obama, when one of Obama's people warned him about Flynn. Biting the hand that feeds?

This woman is no paid dissenter. She's a republican from Kentucky that has watched her community go downhill in the last 30 years and she's inspired to give McConnell a piece of her mind. Just cause you found some evidence that Soros lobby groups fund organizations doesn't mean all people are protesting "just for the money" That's a logical fallacy. If that car is red then all cars are red.

Oh there is no doubt the 'anger' is real. You have reatve handful of bitter angryhate filled children that dont understand democracy and cant stand the fact tat they lost the election. They are being organized by bunch of paid agitators to go around and disrupt townhalls. They are in no way representative of the politicians constituents. Who and what they are is quite apparent. What is apparent to everyone but them apparently is that their actions are COSTING them support. At this rate..if you thought the 1000 seats rats have lost across the country is bad...2018 is going to feel like a prison rape to the rat party. So...they should by all means..keep it up.

No inded. They arent ALL paid protesters. Political dissent is common. Hell... left the GOP in 2003 for similar reasons to what this lady was expressing. But that taped incident is not representative of the townhalls with people shouting and screaming and disrupting and you know it.

Dont you.

I'm just over two hours away from where that video took place. There are thousands of people struggling to find jobs, losing loved ones to an absolutely devastating opioid epidemic, and getting tired of politicians promising to bring back the glory days of big coal. It is dishonest to believe that because these areas voted for Trump somehow means they are part of the republican party now. They hate both sides.

I think you are giving the OFA too much credit. Much of the actual organizing is still grassroots. They are protesting because they are angry about issues they find important being threatened by the current administration. It is no different than when the tea party protested. They just have different issue sets. Most of the protesters are constituents with the others still being local enough to make it to the town hall. I'm sorry if it cost the democratic party your support. I'm sure you were considering them for 2018 before all of this.

If Democratic candidates address the issues people are out there "being paid to protest" they will win seats in the midterms. We'll see how unimportant the issues these protestors are angry about are to the American people.

Rats arent addressing...anything. they never have. rather than focus on actual problems and actual solutions, rats 'resist'. Rats gin up outrage over an attack on womens rights. Rats shriek about an imagined attack on social security. Rats scream racism, all the while completely ****ing over minority communities in this country. Rats wont address a thing this next two years.

And you know THAT too.
