Since leaving office Barack Obama has been anything but quiet and presidential. Feigning a lack of respect for the office because of its occupant, and doing all he can to make his displeasure known to the public. Well, he has also been working behind the scenes. Apparently grooming 2020 candidates to take down President Trump.

According to The Daily Wire:

Former President Barack Obama has spent his time, post-presidency, quietly advising current President Trump’s top foes, including a handful of 2020 presidential hopefuls.

A new report in Politico details Obama’s recent extra-curricular activities, meeting with “Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden and Deval Patrick” in his Washington, D.C. office for one-on-one counseling sessions he hopes will help them rise to the top of the Democratic field.

“All the meetings were arranged quietly, without even some close advisers to the people involved being told of the conversations, in part because of how much Obama bristles at his private meetings becoming public knowledge,” the magazine reports, though it’s not clear why Obama cares so much that his pow-wows go unreported. It could be because he’s not offering his services to politicians looking to be his heir apparent — like Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) — or because he fears being connected to such a public mess like Warren’s repeated attempts to “own” her suspect “Native American” heritage.

But all the same, Obama is meeting with Biden and Warren, and even, according to Politico, quietly trying to influence how the Democratic party handles the challenge of President Trump. He’s “concerned about how his own party is responding,” Politico says, and fears the next presidential cycle won’t go the way Democrats hope.

He is doing all he can to stop President Trump. Possibly because his legacy is being destroyed and the economy is operating at levels he never thought possible.
