Trump responds to Obama's 'rent-free' jibe with throwback image [Courtesy]
US President Donald Trump has shared a side-by-side image comparing himself at age 20 with former President Barack Obama at age 18, days after Obama mocked Trump's repeated public criticism of him.
Posted on Trump's Truth Social account, the image showed a 20-year-old Trump in his New York Military Academy uniform in 1964. Alongside it was a photo of an 18-year-old Obama during his early days at Occidental College, appearing to have what looked like a marijuana joint in his mouth. Trump did not include a caption explaining why he shared the image.
The post came shortly after Obama took a swipe at Trump during an appearance on the All the Smoke podcast, describing the president's repeated attacks on him as "strange" and suggesting he occupies a permanent place in Trump's thoughts.
"You've got to ask him what it is... the obsession. I obviously have a room in his head, a suite in his head," Obama said.
