Despite being president for nearly a year and a half, Donald Trump still spends time focusing on his predecessor. After yet another attack on Barack Obama, Trump was met with an onslaught of criticism.
Iran’s Military Budget is up more than 40% since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached...just another indicator that it was all a big lie. But not anymore!

Trump on Obama
Donald Trump made his disdain for Barack Obama known before he even announced his campaign for president. During the early days of his presidency, Obama was forced to deal with various debunked conspiracies about his origin of birth, with the "birther" movement doubting the validity of his birth certificate.
While most dismissed the fringe conspiracy, Trump was there to give the movement a face, which he later carried over into his campaign and presidency. Since being elected, Trump has done everything in his power to rollback major legislation signed into law during the previous administration, including taking steps to abandon the Affordable Care Act. Trump's latest effort comes in the form of pulling the United States out of the Iran deal, which resulted in Obama ripping into the president on social media.

Continuing with his attack on Barack Obama, Donald Trump doubled down during a Twitter post on May 12.
"Iran’s Military Budget is up more than 40% since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached," Trump tweeted out. Just another indicator that it was all a big lie," he added, before concluding "But not anymore." Trump's Twitter attack on Obama didn't go over well and he received a negative response in return.

Trump cries fake news, for stories he simply doesn’t like. Zero accountability when stories are proven true. @foxnews promotes his discrediting campaign & also takes no accountability. Trump supports believe whatever they say. Trump wants 1 media source that grovels at his feet.

"This advertisement was brought to you today by Vladimir Putin," a Twitter user wrote.
"Man I wonder what changed in America that would make Iran on edge," another tweet stated with sarcasm. "Just googled it and that is a lie. And now that you backed out of it" all you did was screw over America for the 3 millionth time," an additional tweet noted. "Did you know that the JCPOA only applies to Iran's NUCLEAR program? Probably not, because you're an ignorant moron with the attention span of a gnat," a tweet pointed out.
