Former President Barack Obama finally acknowledged Trump's bizarre, creepy obsession with him during an appearance on ALL THE SMOKE with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson today.
One of the hosts pointed out that the "leader of this current administration is still very fascinated" with President Obama and his family, despite the fact he's been "out of office [for] nearly 10 years now."
"Look, you gotta ask him what it is — the obsession ... I obviously, you know, have a room in his head —," Obama began.
"Rent free," one of the hosts cut in.
"A suite in his head," Obama agreed. "But the thing about it is that was always clear to me. Look, first of all, when I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said, somebody said, or what my predecessor did, they're gone."
"I got work to do," Obama continued. "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right every day, you got five, ten things that feel hard, and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about came before somebody who came before, and me trying to measure, you know, like what's he done today.
"Look, constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do," he added.
This is what real leadership looks like — calm, unruffled, and unconcerned with petty grudges.

BREAKING: The Big3 refs are forced to end the game after multiple ejections.
Michael Beasley ejected for dust up with Dwight Howard. Lance Stephenson ejected for throwing punches at Jordan Crawford.
This led to a forfeit due to Miami not having enough active players. Pure chaos.
Not even Spike Lee could make a movie that's more inspiring than OG Anunoby's life story 🍿
Born in the UK, Anunoby lost his mom to cancer a year after he was born.
His family moved to Missouri, USA when he was 4 since his father got a job at Lincoln University.
Growing up, Anunoby initially played football to follow in his brother's footsteps.
By the time he was 8, he shifted to basketball because of his height.
He wasn't heavily recruited coming out of high school.
His college coach at Indiana Tom Crean even admitted that he only found out about OG because they saw him at a tournament while scouting another player.
At Indiana, he came off the bench his freshman season.
He was finally named a starter as a sophomore, but after 16 games he tore his ACL.
Despite the injury, OG still declared for the 2017 NBA draft and was taken by the Raptors with the 23rd pick.
Just as OG finally got his big break, his father passed away a year later 😢
When the Raptors won the title in 2019, he had to watch it all unfold from the sidelines as he had to miss the entire postseason due to an emergency appendectomy.
But just as he always has, OG never used his setbacks as an excuse 😤
He was traded to the Knicks in 2023 and secured the bag with a five-year, $212.5 million contract in the offseason.
2 years later, he's an NBA champion and a New York hero.
For everything life threw at him, OG Anunoby could've easily folded.
But instead of breaking, he built himself into a champion 🙌🏆
