Obama turned his congenial nature on its head and slammed Trump behind the scenes, a new book says.

It reportedly says Obama called Trump a "corrupt motherf---er," a "madman," and a "f---ing lunatic."

What adoration?

I am over 40 and a native NYC’er.
Trump prior to “The Apprentice” wasn’t adored by anyone, certainly not in New York.
Year after year of reports of him stiffing contractors, running around on his wives, not to mention trying to steal an old woman’s house in NJ... and the piece de resistance, that full page ad calling for the execution of the so-called Central Park Five.
Until he got himself reinvented on “The Apprentice” he was close to fading away to obscurity except for occasional appearances with Howard Stern where he got to talk about how hot his daughter was.
He wasn’t actually doing anything other than selling his name so it could be slapped on
properties around the world.

Where does this idea come from that he was “adored” before he ran for president?
The guy who took his mistress on a family vacation?
That guy?

I would expect nothing more from a low life like Obama. (Still) an angry man.

I first became aware of Trump back in the '80s when he was making a name for himself as a bigshot real estate developer and wheeler-dealer. I remember the first time I saw him interviewed and my immediate impression of him was as a second rate con man and phony as a three dollar bill. An impression that has been confirmed a thousand times over through the years. Anyone with at least half a brain feels the same way.

Definitely a big shot real estate developer and wheeler dealer that turned millions into billions and eventually held the highest office in the world. The definition of success.

Those with only half a brain dispute his success.

Inherited $400 million from his old man. Would have done better if he'd have put that into an index fund. Kicked out of the White House after a single term. Facing legal problems on multiple fronts. But you'd like to be him, right?

You really don't want to go there as your defining moment of 'success'. How clearly Harvard school of business would disagree with YOUR definition.

There are some world leaders thru history that corrupted absolutely with that definition you give of success. Trump falls in that camp. He corrupted absolutely.

And turned it into billions.

I always love that claim you make into how because Trump should’ve invested his money, especially while you you complain about how he lives his life from a discussion board.
