Former President Barack Obama tore into his successor Donald Trump in private as an “idiot” and a “liar,” a secret diary has revealed.

Obama’s frank thoughts on Trump, and on his son Donald Trump Jr., were recorded by Dr. Tony Fauci in a diary he kept, which was spitefully leaked by anti-vaccine fanatic Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

According to Fauci’s diary entry, Obama reassured him that Trump Jr. is “a f—ing moron” before apologizing for using crude language.

“But [Obama] went on to say that Donald Trump was a hopeless idiot who was a pathologic liar,” Fauci added.

    I mean, my verdict is even more refreshingly frank. It involves the words “pedophile” and “incontinent” and “convicted rapist.”

    So why chum around with him?

    When trump dies how many people are going to release about the same book ‘trump was an idiot and bad, a political memoir’ ?

      Are you talking about Obama or Fauci? Obama wanted campaign money, Fauci was doing the best he could to save lives.

      Obama continues not talking because there’s not really any benefit. Itd just be viewed as political regardless of truth, just as releasing a man’s private diary without a crime to prosecute is.

        Obama wanted campaign money,

        For what campaign? When did Obama chum around with Trump for campaign money? What alternate timeline are you from?

    What’s up with “the diary” ?

    Did it include personal stuff unrelated to his work? Or was it more like a professional’s notebook?

      It was his personal diary, recording his personal thoughts on contemporary matters, which is VERY common for political players, for future memoirs. Apparently there was still a copy on a computer in the office when MAGA took over, so they made it public, in order to embarrass him.

      Obviously, good, moral citizens find this invasion of personal privacy appalling, but MAGAs are sociopaths, so they find it wildly funny. Really sick people.

        It really is sick.

        I guess they probably think it’s fair game given that so much of the Epstein stuff was private at one time.

          Yeah, let’s see them compare Fauci’s Diary with the Epstein Files. Please, PLEASE.

          We should do a betting pool. My money’s on Tuberville.

    This is an obvious distraction from the iran war, the epstein files and everything else to try to change the narrative before the midterms.

    Or before the national emergency that happens when the republicans try to delay the midterms.

      We had elections during the civil war. No Republican bullshit is stopping the election.

      It’s a red herring to stop people talking about his pedophile ring and illegal war.

      People need to vote in massive numbers to remove this pedo and his enablers.

    Who keeps a book where they write this sort of shit down? Who does this? Is this verified? Has Fauci said “yeah I wrote all that?”

      Public people often keep diaries because they may end up writing a memoir one day. Those contemporaneous notes may also be useful in a future Congressional hearing, or even a court case.

      It’s not unusual, and it’s not weird, even for regular people. There is nothing wrong with keeping a diary, and a lot wrong with gleefully releasing it to the world, with the intention of hurting that person.

      Fauci pled the fifth when asked, which was the smart thing to do. But if it wasn’t written by him, I imagine he would say so.

    I haven’t listened to Obama in a while, is he still pushing the come together reach across the isle bullshit?

    There is no coming together with fucking fascist child rapists. They must be defeated, not negotiated with.

      I have a slew of issues with Barry but he’s not stupid, there’s no way he isn’t aware of that, no clue why he’s not using his absurd charisma to help organize a resistance movement or grassroots removal campaign. Whatever his reason, it’s still unacceptable for him to sit this out but I won’t believe he hasn’t realized how dire things are at this juncture. Or he’s absurdly more naive than I’d have thought

      I’d be kinda scared for my personal safety if I were him but I also didn’t decide to become president on a platform of hope and change and deliver very little if anything of what was hoped for, at least by me and the folks in my circle around that time. He’s at least somewhat on the hook for where we are, even if I think it’s unfair that the biggest reason his presidency broke the minds of the right was his skin tone.

      Dude needs to nut up or shut up and it seems he’s chosen the latter

        Bro if dude speaks up he will be murdered no question and to be honest I’m surprised he hasn’t been in a traffic or air accident.

          I’m actually surprised at that too, I assume that the admin is afraid he’s still too well liked by the average American to do anything like that, could be a catalyst. At least that is all I can really think of
