Donald Trump<br />

A smooth transition? ‘NOT!’ Trump decries<br />

Obama’s ‘roadblocks’ in tweets<br />

<strong>The</strong> president-elect complained about Obama’s ‘inflammatory statements’, but didn’t specify what the<br />

US president has done or said to anger him this time<br />

<strong>The</strong> thin veneer of civility between Barack Obama and Donald Trump has a few more cracks in it,<br />

after Trump tweeted to accuse Obama of throwing up “inflammatory” roadblocks during the<br />

presidential transition of power.<br />

Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and<br />

roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!<br />

December 28, <strong>2016</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> president-elect is on the social media platform most mornings to tweet something accusatory. But<br />

since his positive post-election meeting with Obama, he has largely stayed away from a negative<br />

personal tone against the president.<br />

Trump didn’t specify exactly what Obama has done or said to anger him this time, although just a few<br />

days ago Obama said he is “confident” he would have won a third term – a statement Trump<br />

immediately disagreed with.<br />

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)<br />

President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say<br />

NO WAY! - jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.
