Former President Donald Trump revealed that the letter former President Barack Obama left him in 2017 was “fake.”
During an interview with Fox News’ Mark Levin, Trump called Obama’s departing letter to him “beautiful” and “well-written,” but still condemned the 44th U.S. president for allegedly spying on his campaign and overseeing the creation of a “fake dossier.”

“They created a fake dossier. The dossier was a fake about Trump in Moscow with hookers and everything. It was a fake. It was all made up. And Steele. All made up. It was paid for by the Democrat Party and crooked Hillary Clinton. The whole thing was a fake. They spied on my campaign, how about if we spied on their campaign?” Trump asked.
The dossier alleged that Trump colluded with Russia to win the presidential seat in 2016. Former CIA Director John Brennan, an outspoken Trump critic, has since admitted that Obama was brought up to speed on efforts by advisors to former State Secretary Hillary Clinton to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
The ex-president, however, added that he and Obama got along well as the former’s administration went on but that he “felt so differently about things” than his predecessor did.
“In Europe, they loved him because he allowed Europe to rip us off. They said they like him better in Germany. They should like him better in Germany because I didn’t allow Germany to get away with what they were doing,” Trump said.
This comes as Trump recently kicked off his presidential campaign after formally announcing it in November. He previously warned that another world war could break out thanks to the Biden administration’s failed foreign policies.
In a video published by The National Pulse earlier this year, the former president blasted the White House, claiming, “we need to clean house of all the warmongers and America Last globalists in the deep state, the Pentagon, the State Department and the National Security industrial complex.”
“One of the reasons I was the only president in generations who didn’t start a war is that I was the only president who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats, and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out,” Trump added.
