    President Donald Trump has been dismissing the protests against his presidency and demonstrations at congressional town hall meetings across the country as concocted by his political enemies. But now he has an alleged culprit: Barack Obama.

    In an interview Monday with Fox News Channel, Trump said that he believes his predecessor is helping to organize the protests.

    "I think that President Obama is behind it because his people certainly are behind it," Trump said. "In terms of him being behind things, that's politics. It will probably continue."

    Trump made his comments during an interview at the White House with "Fox & Friends" anchors Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt. Most of the interview will air Tuesday morning, in advance of Trump's formal address to a joint session of Congress, but Fox released an excerpt Monday of his remarks about Obama.

    In the interview, one of the Fox trio told Trump that Obama's political group - presumably Organizing for Action, the successor group to Obama's campaigns - was helping to organize activists to demonstrate, and asked the president whether he suspected Obama himself was behind the efforts.

    "I think he is behind it," Trump said. "I also think it's politics. That's the way it is."

    A spokesman for Obama did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

    Obama's probably having a good laugh about this between mai tais and kiteboarding on Richard Branson's private island.

    They could put a blonde wig on him and let him play Kellyanne Conway. It would be epic.

    Trump must live in fear of his own insecurities.

    Trump has a point:

    How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency

    http://nypost.com/2017/02/11/how-obama-is-scheming-to-sabotage-trumps-presidency/

    "In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.

    He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country."
