WH Press Secretary Says Obama Aides Left 'You Will Fail' Notes for Trump Staff During Transition
If this is true, all it does is confirm to conservatives that the Obama administration was the worst in American history. If it’s not true, well, who are we kidding? It’s probably true.
The problem here, is why did it take so long for this to become public? President Trump is very transparent. You’d think at some point he would’ve mentioned this. Here’s what’s up, via Daily Mail:
Some of Barack Obama’s departing White House aides left biting notes for their successors in the Trump administration including messages that read ‘You will fail,’ according to the president’s press secretary.

Grisham said, “We came into the White House—I’ll tell you something, every office was filled with Obama books. And we had notes left behind that said “You will fail,” “You aren’t going to make it.” And in the press office, there was a big note taped to a door that said, “You will fail.“‘
Reactions:
I should note that this is *not* the first time I’ve heard this. A WH aide told me about it two months after Trump’s inauguration, but I couldn’t confirm. NBow, apparently, it’s on the record.

I heard this in 2017 but felt uncomfortable reporting it because of the nature of a single source and that person’s motives. Today several vintage 2017 officials are confirming it on background to me. Entirely my fault for never tracking it down at the time.

Check out what happens when college students find out these border wall quotes were made by the likes of Schumer, Hillary, and Obama after being told they were made by President Trump.
It’s priceless.

Cory admitted to America that releasing border crossers into sanctuary cities, as President Trump has suggested, would “make us less safe.”
Talk about a Freudian slip!
