President Trump says former President Barack Obama might not admit it, but the two men get along.
“We get along. I don’t know if he’ll admit this, but he likes me. I like him,” Mr. Trump said in a recent interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.
“I can feel it. You know, that’s what I do in life. It’s called, like, I understand,” the president said.
“Now, we had a rough campaign. He was fighting better for Hillary [Clinton] than she did. He was vicious during the campaign toward me and I was vicious toward him. We said horrible things about each other,” he said.
“And then we hop into the car and we drive down Pennsylvania Avenue together. We don’t even talk about it. Politics is amazing,” he said, referring to inauguration day.
Mr. Trump said they talked about the future of the country and that he asked Mr. Obama what he thought the biggest problem was.
“And he told me. I can’t tell you, but it’s a problem. It’s a military problem with a certain place,” he said.
Mr. Trump said it wasn’t China when asked by Mr. O’Reilly.
“I don’t think he’d mind if I said it. I don’t want to let that particular place know that that’s the way he or I feel,” he said.
“It was a great inauguration. I loved every minute of it,” he said.
