Trump fires back after Obama DNC speech, questions predecessor's support for Biden
President Trump was apparently watching Wednesday night when his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, launched a blistering attack on the current commander-in-chief in a speech during the third night of the Democratic Convention.
Trump, who has spent much of his nearly four years in office trying to undo Obama’s major policy moves – hit back at Obama in real time via Twitter.
"HE SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT," the president wrote midway through Obama's speech.

A few minutes later, the president tweeted, “WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?”
In his speech, Obama charged that during Trump's tenure, the president has “shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends.”
As for Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the virus' effects on the nation’s economy, Obama argued that “the consequences of that failure are severe. One hundred seventy thousand Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
