Barack Obama weighs in Donald Trump‘s clear “obsession” with him!
On Wednesday, the former president appeared at All the smoke podcast where he was asked about Trump’s… we’ll just say grossness… which is often directed at himand if he ever feels like just firing the guy. And his answer was a master class! He said:
“The thing about it is—look, you’ve got to ask him what it is, the obsession. Apparently I’ve got a room in his head. A suite in his head.”
LOLz! He went on to take a jab at Trump’s apparent lack of focus:
“First of all, when I was president, the last thing I needed to do was worry about what anybody said or what my predecessor did. They’re gone. I’ve got work to do.”

The 64-year-old continued:
“If you do the job right, every day you have five, 10 things that are really difficult, and you have to constantly be focused. The idea that I would be worried about someone who came before and me trying to gauge, ‘What has he done today?’ Constantly worrying about it is a strange thing to me. It shows me someone who is not focused on the American people and the job they have to do.”
Obama had more to say about his time in office and choosing what to avoid and what to embrace:
“The other thing I learned pretty early on in this gig was that you have to screen out the noise to understand what’s in front of you and deal with it well. My entire presidency, I never watched cable TV. Never watched cable news. I didn’t have social media. There were people on my staff whose job it was to monitor what people were saying, when you also want input when the American is constructive or excited. something. You have to have that feedback loop, and the back of it’s that you don’t get bloated when things are going well either.
He continued:
“If you’re constantly worrying about what other people have to say — someone could be having a bad day and berate you, and all of a sudden they’re controlling your performance, your thought process. So I screened those things out pretty early on, and I’m not worried about it. Another way to put it is there’s no reason to value that kind of thing.”
Great advice!
