CNN: “Trump has been lambasting Obama for years, even before he ran for the top job. Recently, though he’s been doing it more often. A November analysis from CNN’s Daniel Dale shows Trump has mentioned Obama and the Obama administration by name more frequently in the past 18 months than he had in the first 18 months of his presidency. … Through October, Trump had mentioned Obama by name 537 times during 2019 as a whole — an average of 1.8 times per day.”

I don’t think that I was the one to prompt questions about my birth certificate, for example. I don’t remember saying, ‘Hey, why don’t you ask me about that. Or why don’t you question whether I’m American, or whether I’m loyal, or whether I have America’s best interests at heart’ — those aren’t things that were prompted by any actions of mine.

He’s just doing more of what has been done for the last seven and a half years.

— President Obama, at a press conference, refusing to validate “some notion that the Republican crack-up that’s been taking place is a consequence of actions that I’ve taken.”
