Trump was the head of a smear campaign who accused Obama of being a fraud born in Kenya. So hoe many "former" presidents had o deal with a "current" President who had mad such salacious personal attacks against him. Not criticism of policy, but actual slanderous lies regarding his personal life?
Of course if Trump murdered someone the Trump supporters here would claim that Obama should not be allowed to criticize him because that would be "going low'
That's a bit disingenuous.
Trump "led smear campaign?" How about "searching for the truth campaign"?
To smear is to discredit someone by simply making false accusations , lies, half truths, etc...
The charge that Obama was Kenyan surfaced as far back as 2004, then soon after supposedly by Hillary. Taken up by Trump, a private citizen sought out to prove it by hiring investigators. He later acknowledged that Obama was an American citizen.
The irony that you mention "smear campaign" as you Trump haters are actively in the middle of one. It is leftists and the msm that are leading the largest political smear campaign ever in our history, against this duly elected president..
