Obama 'getting under Trump's skin' as he campaigns for Biden in swing states, former aides say

(Independent UK) Barack Obama has been traveling to battleground states to support Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 US election - and to try to get under Donald Trump's skin.

Mr Obama made stops in Pennsylvania and Florida to stump for Mr Biden.

Fox News aired coverage of one of Mr Obama's speeches, much to Mr Trump's displeasure.

The president mentions Mr Obama on a regular basis during his rallies and in interviews. Mr Trump often blames the Obama administration for leaving him "a mess" and regularly accuses Mr Obama of spying on his campaign prior to the 2016 election.

“He has allowed Obama to get under his skin and is obsessed with the fact that his presidency pales in comparison to the prior one,” he said. “He is living in a fantasy land where he is just a celebrated cable commentator on Fox commenting on the conspiracy theory of the day and he doesn’t have to run against Joe Biden to win another term. But reality is creeping up on him fast.” ............(more)

1. President Obama kept his powder dry for 3-1/2 years.

Now, every campaign stop is an opportunity to have another WH correspondent's dinner humiliation. I have no doubts that these speeches by PBO are driving Trump nuts.
