President-elect Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of throwing up “inflammatory” roadblocks during the transition of power and his administration of treating Israel with “total disdain,” further straining the veneer of civility between the incoming and outgoing leaders. Although Trump didn’t detail his complaints in his morning broadsides on Twitter, the president-elect has made it clear that it didn’t sit well with him when Obama recently boasted that he would have won the election if he’d been running.

Trumpa s complaint about Obamaa s a inflammatorya rhetoric fits nicely with his rubber-and-glue strategy
Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition – NOT! The tweet would seem to be a reaction to Obama’s remark that he could have beaten Trump in the 2016 election and the Obama administration’s abstention from a key United Nations vote that ran afoul of Israel. But the language Trump uses here is telling, and it suggests that a feature of Trump’s 2016 campaign will persist during his presidency — the rubber-and-glue strategy.

Take @realDonaldTrump seriously: Don’t dismiss Trump’s…
As someone who spends a frankly unhealthy amount of my day on Twitter, I have to say that it concerns me how much time President-elect Donald Trump spends on Twitter. That particular social-media platform is many things, few of them good: a miserable time suck, a forever-grinding outrage machine, a vehicle for harassment.
Trump Appointee Resigns After Miami’s A.J. Delgado Calls Him Out Over Alleged Affair
Donald Trump owes so much of his ascendency – and his continued commitment to sowing world chaos – to Twitter that it’s appropriate the first big black eye of his White House came via some tweets.

Continuing battle with media, Trump avoids news conference
Less than a month from taking office, President-elect Donald Trump has yet to hold the traditional news conference that most incoming presidents have held within days of their victory. Trump, whose refusal to do news conference has been criticized by journalism groups and media watchdogs, has instead tried to convey his message directly to the American public, bypassing the media with pronouncements at his boisterous rallies and, of course, distributing his thoughts 140 characters at a time on his famed Twitter account.
