What To Know

  • Barack Obama joked on a podcast that he has “a suite” in Donald Trump’s head, referencing Trump’s frequent criticisms of him.
  • The View cohosts, including Ana Navarro, reacted humorously to Obama’s remark, with Navarro suggesting Trump is obsessed with constantly comparing himself to Obama.

Former President Barack Obama took a playful jab at President Donald Trump during a recent podcast appearance, and the remark quickly caught the attention of the cohosts of The View. During the show’s latest episode, the panel reacted to Obama’s quip that he has “a suite” in Trump’s head after being asked how he handles the frequent attacks from the current administration.

On the podcast All the Smoke with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson, Obama was asked how he continues to take the high road after being continuously attacked by the Trump administration almost nonstop since leaving office almost a decade ago. “You gotta ask him,” laughed Obama. “The obsession. I obviously have a room in his head. A suite.”

“The last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said or what my predecessor did,” said Obama when explaining his own time in office. “They’re gone! I have work to do!”

During the discussion on the show, cohost Whoopi Goldberg mock-cried while pleading, “Why can’t he quit Obama? Why can’t he?”

On the Behind the Table podcast, Brian Teta asked Ana Navarro her thoughts on the comment, to which she humorously replied, “I think he’s got like an entire building in there.”

“I mean, you just can’t help but notice that Donald Trump, anything he’s talking about, he brings in Barack Hussein Obama, right? I mean, if he’s talking about the reflecting pool, he somehow makes a comparison to Obama. If he’s talking about Iran, he somehow makes a comparison to how bad Obama was,” said Navarro. “Obama’s crowd size, Obama’s this, Obama’s that. I think part of the reason he went into Iran is ‘cuz he was on a sugar high from Venezuela and thought he could quickly do a regime change there, which he didn’t. But I also think because he thought he could do a better job crafting a deal and negotiating a deal with the Iranians than Barack Obama did.”
“He’s constantly comparing himself to him. Again, there is something there that’s in his brain that’s just not right. Doesn’t work right,” said Navarro.
