Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Friday suggested that President Trump think "about what he was doing" in office instead of targeting former President Obama on Twitter.

"The Obama administration worked very hard on dealing with the terrorist issues. It would be really nice if President Trump actually thought about what he was doing rather than always blaming president Obama," Albright said on CNN.

Albright also said that she had "not particularly" seen a difference in U.S. efforts against terrorism under President Trump over his nine months in office.

Her comments followed Trump's condemnation of a terrorist attack in London Friday, during which he touted his work against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

UPDATE:

Ex-Obama aide fires back at Trump: 'Let us know when you kill Bin Laden'

A White House aide to former President Obama fired back at President Trump for claiming his administration has done more to combat ISIS in the past nine months than Obama had during his entire time in office.

“We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years,” Trump tweeted early Friday morning.

“[L]et us know when you kill Bin Laden,” shot back former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco.

Earlier in the day, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright similarly accused Trump of overhyping his successes in the war against terror.

Albright and Clinton were both hard-working and effective Secretaries of State. They have no reason to keep quiet while Cheeto dumps on Obama, and it's awesome that they're both speaking up now.

Cheeto just loves hearing from feisty women too.
