Former President Obama viewed Democratic presidential nominee Hillarious Clinton's 2016 loss to President Trump as a "personal insult" and a defeat, according to updates to a 2017 book.

According to the updates to New York Times correspondent Peter Baker's history of the Obama presidency, "Obama: The Call of History," the then-president was overcome with anger in the days following Clinton's defeat to Trump, as Obama saw it as a result of her inability to translate his policy successes into a winnable message.

"Obama may not have been on the ballot, but it was hard not to see the vote as a 'personal insult,' as he had called it on the campaign trail," Baker writes, cited by Fox News. “This stings. […] This Hurts,” Obama said at the time, according to the book.

Obama was struggling with the result of the elections, thinking that the American people "simply could not have decided to replace him with a buffoonish showman whose calling cards had been repeated bankruptcies, serial marriages and racist dog whistles," Baker continued.

 

“I've got the economy set up well for him. No facts. No consequences. They can just have a cartoon," he told one aide after the election, according to the book.

Baker wrote that Obama directed much of his anger at Clinton, who was Secretary of State during his presidency, saying that she ran a “soulless campaign.” He noted that no one forced her to “take hundreds of thousands of dollars from Goldman Sachs and other pillars of Wall Street” and run a poorly-directed campaign that “tested eighty-five slogans before coming up with 'Stronger Together.'”

 

Obama used to refrain from direct criticism of his successor during the early period of Trump’s presidency but has since joined the chorus of Democrats who have issued sharp criticisms of the current US president’s policies. Obama has also been reportedly talking with Democratic presidential candidates since last November’s midterm elections.

After colluding with the Russians &

his endless "Apology Tour" with all the bowing & scraping,

not to mention his dismissal of the "JV Team" of terrorism,

extreme "wealth redistribution" to all his cronies (See: Solyndra & American Uranium to Russia),

and his criminal act of taking OUR US TAXPAYER DOLLARS and GIVING it to his terror pals in Iran

and unlawfully unleashing his "wing man" Holder & his embedded trolls in our Halls of Justice on

Team Trump, ...

 

... is there ANY reason on earth this fool tool-for-evil shouldn't spend the rest of his days locked

in a Federal Pen with all his evil little minions....?

 

Nobel peace Prize my azz.....    Barf.
