Trump described Obama as the "most DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades", according to the posts on Truth Social, says Unilad.
Trump called for Obama to be arrested, prosecuted, and incarcerated for what he described as "treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government".
He also reiterated claims that Obama used federal agencies to spy on his 2016 campaign, which Trump called "the biggest political crime in American history", according to the same material. The posts also repeated claims that Obama fabricated evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
In addition to his social media posts, Trump referred to Obama at a fundraising dinner as a "great divider" and a "terrible president", while also saying he considers Joe Biden the "worst president in history", according to the information provided.
Obama criticized Trump for sharing a video that depicted him and Michelle Obama in a racist manner. Obama said he was deeply offended at his family being "dragged into things", adding that targeting family members is a line he would never cross.
Obama has also dismissed Trump's claims as "bizarre" and a "weak attempt at distraction", according to the information provided.
He further acknowledged that his continued public political involvement after leaving office has created "genuine tension" in his marriage.
The material indicates that Obama, who left office nearly a decade ago, remains a recurring figure in Trump's political messaging, including references linking him to controversies such as Hillary Clinton's private email server.
