RUSH: By the way, there\u2019s a New York Times story that I think everybody\u2019s missing. It is that, after Trump met with Obama in 2016, Obama said Trump knows nothing. I think everybody\u2019s missing what that\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what does Obama mean? “Obama Reportedly Said Trump \u2018Knows Absolutely Nothing\u2019 After 2016 White House Meeting<\/a> — Former President Barack Obama reportedly told a visitor that President Donald Trump ‘knows absolutely nothing\u2019 after the two met at the White House in 2016. Obama and his small staff had to deal with ‘a crazy president personally obsessed with Obama\u2019 after Trump won in 2016, Politico reported Tuesday.” The story says — and let me see if you believe this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Obama ‘held out hope\u2019 for a traditional relationship as past and current president, Obama\u2019s first post-presidential press secretary Kevin Lewis said, according to Politico. However, Trump\u2019s policies and apparent attacks of the former president forced Obama\u2019s hand. ‘He (Obama) wanted to be a resource,\u2019 according to Lewis.” He wanted… He hoped that Trump would call him for advice.<\/p>\n

Come on! They can\u2019t make us believe that.<\/p>\n

Obama was running the spy operation on Trump at the time. That\u2019s what Obama meant when he said Trump “knows nothing.” They want us to believe that Obama is saying, “This guy\u2019s the biggest blithering idiot! He doesn\u2019t know a damn thing about this job.” If you ask me, Obama, after the first meeting with Trump after the election…? This FBI sting operation, it\u2019s been going for months before the election, and it had really geared up afterwards. I think Obama was saying, “Trump doesn\u2019t know anything about our operation.”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me dig further into this quote from this Kevin Lewis guy. This is Obama\u2019s post-presidential press secretary. And he\u2019s saying we didn\u2019t expect the level of attacks that we got from Trump. We were hoping to be a resource for Trump. Obama really wanted Trump to call him for advice.<\/p>\n

\"\"Does anybody believe this? That Obama was hoping Trump would seek his advice? What world\u2019s Obama living in if he really actually thought that would happen? Keep in mind the Obama DOJ, the Obama FBI, the Obama CIA director, the Obama Director of National Intelligence and the Obama FBI director, James Comey, are running this Trump-Russia collusion hoax before the election.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re using informants to set up people like George Papadopoulos. Strzok and Page are out there texting each other back and forth in the midst of their affair needing an insurance policy if Trump wins. Obama\u2019s team is running the operation to link Trump with Russia. Actually, two phases. They were trying to prevent him from being elected. Then should that happen, they were trying to make sure that they could to get him out of office as soon as possible during the transition and, failing that, into his presidency after inauguration.<\/p>\n

And Obama is telling people now, Politico, that he was really upset, he expected Trump to be seeking his counsel. And then told people that Trump doesn\u2019t know anything, Trump knows absolutely nothing. And then there\u2019s this quote from Kevin Lewis, the post-presidential press secretary. “What do you do? Trump puts out that tweet that Obama\u2019s wiretapped him at Trump Tower. What do you do with that? Obama desperately wanted to adhere to the precedent, but it was an unprecedented moment. So we focused more on addressing the lie than talking about Trump\u2019s character.”<\/p>\n

Wait. Are you telling me you weren\u2019t wiretapping Trump? We know that you were. We know that Trump was being surveilled. It was the FISA warrant on Carter Page. We know the Obama administration echelon was indeed spying on Trump. They had gotten FISA warrants and renewed them two or three times, maybe four.<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m telling you that when Obama is telling people Trump knows absolutely nothing, he\u2019s talking about Trump knows absolutely nothing about our operation. And this is being cast as Obama, the brilliant, greatest president ever, judging Trump\u2019s competence and saying he doesn\u2019t know anything. That\u2019s not how you would criticize somebody newly elected president, even if you disagreed, even if you thought they were an idiot. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t know anything.\u201d That\u2019s too broad-based. It\u2019s too scatter shot.<\/p>\n

No, it means Trump has no idea what we got running here, gang. Nobody will convince me otherwise. \u201cObama\u2019s looking forward to sparking a campaign against Trump in 2020, according to one close adviser. More specifically, Obama\u2019s expected to be partisan and offer his full opinion on the current president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, bring it on. Bring it on. The Obama track record of endorsing candidates is not good. Ask Hillary Clinton. Ask any senator or even congressional candidate, House of Representatives candidate that got Obama\u2019s endorsement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
