In a rare twist, President Donald Trump passed on an opportunity Sunday to denounce former President Barack Obama as a leader of the « resistance, » despite a Facebook post Thursday which criticized the Senate GOP healthcare bill.
« I don’t think he’s leading it, » Trump told Fox News’ « Fox & Friends » about claims Obama is the leader of the resistance, a political no-no in the long U. S. tradition of a peaceful transition of power.
« He actually just put out a small statement. I don’t see that leading it. But other people are leading. »
President Trump lamented the fact even if the GOP proposed a healthcare bill considered « the greatest bill ever proposed in mankind, we wouldn’t get a vote [from a Democrat] . »
« But that’s called the resistance – that’s a terrible word, » Trump told Fox News. « Think of it. Their theme is resist. Their theme should be, let’s get together, envelop. Let’s get together. But their theme is resist. »
Trump added « I happen to like it, » because voters see through it and side with him in the way he is running his office.
« One of the things that should be solved, but it probably won’t be, is that the Republicans and Democrats don’t get together, » Trump said. « They fight each other. The level of hostility. In other words, this isn’t just Trump, this has been like this for years. »
