President-elect Donald Trump praised President Barack Obama during a meeting with New York Times reporters Tuesday, describing his meeting with Obama in glowing terms and winking at what the two discussed.
"I had a great meeting with President Obama," Trump said, according to Times reporter Maggie Haberman who was present at the meeting.
“I didn't know if I’d like him. I probably thought that maybe I wouldn’t, but I did. I really enjoyed him a lot,” Trump said, according to Mike Grynbaum, another reporter who was present.
“He did tell me what he thought were the biggest problems, in particular one problem," Trump said, though he did not identify that problem, per Haberman’s account.
The White House confirmed Tuesday that Obama and Trump have spoken since their initial meeting. Obama is reportedly reconsidering how much he’ll withdraw from the political scene upon his departure from the White House.
