The original caption simply said: “Twice,” along with a U.S. flag emoji. The post, shared midweek, did not appear to directly respond to any recent remarks from Obama but still gained significant attention online.
Many users criticized the post in the comments, with some people calling it immature or unnecessary.
One person wrote that Trump was being “childish,” while another referenced a past moment between the two men: “Man he roasted you at that White House dinner I mean to tell you he tore your a** up.”
Other people questioned the accuracy of the claim, according to VT, with one user noting: “No. Obama publicly stated in 2016 that he believed Trump would not become president (I continue to believe that Mr. Trump will not be president), but he never said ‘You’ll never be president’ to Trump.”
Another added: “The saddest part about this is that Obama had more faith in the American people than we deserved.”
Came under heavy criticism
Some reactions were even more critical, including: “Trump never has been president. I don’t know what to call what he is doing, but it is far from presidential.”
And another wrote: “Unfortunately, he (Obama) proved to be wrong about the general stupidity of Americans. Trump is a national disgrace and an international nightmare.”
Donald Trump has faced criticism in the past for sharing or amplifying posts about Barack Obama that many people viewed as offensive or inappropriate.
Two months ago, Trump came under heavy criticism for his social media activity after a video was shared on his Truth Social account showing Barack Obama and Michelle Obama with their faces edited onto apes in a jungle, swaying and smiling while “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” played in the background.
