Trump blames Obama for inaction over Russia meddling.

   
   "Obama was President up to, and beyond, the 2016 Election. So why didn't he do something about Russian meddling?" Trump wrote just after 3 p.m. ET after returning from a round of golf at his course. Trump is not alone in accusing Obama of failing to act when it was known Russia was attempting to sway the outcome of the US election. On Sunday, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam, Schiff, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" that the Obama administration "should have done more" when it learned of Russian meddling. Obama officials have insisted they took steps immediately to prevent the Russian interference, including a confrontation between Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 2016 G20 summit in China. 

   After Trump was inaugurated, Obama's aides have insisted that speaking out more vocally against the Russian meddling would have appeared overly political for the incumbent president, particularly as Trump was claiming the election was "rigged" and refusing to say whether he would accept the results if he lost.
   
   This article, as always, shows Trump talking trash about other people, in this case President Obama as if he has to prove to people that he was a 'bad President'.
