The relations between the former president Obama and the current president Trump have soured in the first 100 days. Obama lauded activists opposing the travel ban, and Trump sees leaks being conducted for his administration by Obama supporters. Obama was clear from the beginning that he would voice his opinion when it came to systematic discrimination, right to dissent, and deportation of children. Trump's claims that Obama ordered his offices to be wiretapped during the election have caused a rift. Trump took to Twitter to says that Affordable Care Act was "a total disaster," and made it personal by saying "How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!" Attorney General Sessions said he will recuse himself from the investigations into Russian efforts to influence the election.


U.S. president Obama's legacy and the 2016 presidential election with Hillary Clinton as the nominee of the Democratic Party

06/10/2016

U.S. president Obama's popularity ratings are at 51% in 2016 similar to Reagan's in his last year. In June 2016 he announced his endorsement of Hillary and efforts to unite the Democratic Party behind Clinton, including bringing Sanders supporters behind the nominee. This is also an effort to preserve his legacy. For Hillary Obama's and Sander's support is needed to improve support among younger women, and others who supported Obama in 2008 and 2012, especially with the wide differences with Republican nominee Trump.
