Former President Barack Obama reportedly took President Trump’s victory as a personal insult and was not happy about it.
According to The Daily Mail:
Barack Obama admitted ‘this stings’ after the 2016 election result and spent the night watching the movie Dr Strange to try and distract himself, a new book claims.
The former president went from being confident that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump to seeing it as a ‘personal insult’ that she lost.
Obama could not believe the American people had ‘turned on him’ for a man he had written off as a ‘cartoon’.
As the dust settled Obama told his family that ‘this hurts’ and blamed Clinton who ‘brought many of her troubles on herself’ and ran a ‘scripted, soulless campaign’.
Obama apparently was nice to Trump during the meeting in the Oval but in private Obama referred to President Trump as a “conman.”
It is unclear if his anger stemmed from the failure of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to take down the Trump campaign.
