Obama aides allegedly left ‘You will fail’ notes for Trump White House staffers
President Obama’s aides taunted the incoming Trump administration in 2017 by leaving notes around the White House that said, “You will fail,” Trump’s press secretary said Tuesday.
“We came into the White House, I’ll tell you something. Every office was filled with Obama books, and we had notes left behind that said, ‘You will fail,’ ‘You aren’t going to make it,’” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told a Norfolk, Va., radio station during an interview.
Grisham told the Daily Mail that a particularly big note saying “You will fail” was taped to a door of the press office.
She added that cabinets in the press office also were “filled” with books by Obama, who has written three tomes, and inside one of the drawers was another “You will fail” note.
Three former West Wing officials confirmed Grisham’s claim to the Mail, the website said.
“It was a mess that first week,” an aide said of the Trump transition. “Yeah, there were mean notes left in odd places. One in a deputy press secretary’s office, one inside a desk drawer in upper press, another on a bathroom mirror. They were all about how we were doomed to failure.”
Another source said, “Those notes definitely happened. They even left us Russian vodka in the cabinet.
“They were trolling us from the minute we got there. It was definitely just ridiculous. We were trying to find the bathroom, and we get these notes saying ‘You will fail,’ and ‘You’re not going to make it.’ ”
But Susan Rice, who was Obama’s US ambassador to the UN, tweeted that the claim “was another bald-faced lie” by the Trump administration.
A former Obama senior director of the National Security Council, Jon Wolfsthal, also called the claim “an outright lie’‘ — and said Grisham should be fired over it.
Ex-Obama aide Rudy Mehrbani tweeted that he did a final sweep of a floor in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as the old administration headed out the door and saw nary an issue.
“@PressSec is absolutely lying,” he tweeted. “My team occupied almost an entire hallway of offices in the EEOB. Before I turned off the lights on Jan. 19, I did a walk-thru of every one of them to make sure all federal records (or other notes) were appropriately archived.”
Grisham later responded to the ex-Obama aides’ pushback by insisting, “I’m not sure where their offices were and certainly wasn’t implying every office had that issue,” according to a tweet by CNN’s chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta.
“In fact, I had a lovely note left for me in the East Wing, and I tracked the woman down and thanked her. I was talking specifically (and honestly) about our experience in the lower press office — nowhere else. I don’t know why everyone is so sensitive!
