When Trump made Obama Cry

The astonishing moment Trump had Barack Obama in tears

Barack Obama was spotted shedding a tear as he addressed senior White House staff in the wake of Donald Trump's shock 2016 election victory, according to a new interview archive that has laid bare the inner workings of Obama's administration.

'Obama came to speak to his senior staff. He got up to give a speech and he started crying."

Even Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew and National Security Adviser Susan Rice were overcome with emotion.

'All these people were tearing up,' Jean Psaki recalled. 

But the tear-stained faces in the West Wing were a world away from the mocking laughter and derision that had filled a Washington ballroom just five years earlier. 

It was the high-society event of the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, a night remembered for its glitz and sharp-tongued barbs.

David Axelrod, the veteran strategist behind Barack Obama's campaign, was weaving through the sea of tuxedos and evening gowns when he caught the unmistakable voice of Donald Trump,

In a massive undertaking that reveals eight years in the West Wing, a colossal new archive has laid bare the inner workings of the Obama administration. One thing was made abundantly clear: Obama and his team never anticipated a Trump presidency

Trump was heard crowing, 'I'm in front of the polls.'

The real estate tycoon, years away from his own White House run, was already holding court.

As Axelrod passed by, he overheard the future president talking to a circle of guests about his burgeoning popularity with the electorate.

Axelrod said. 'I don't think any of us really anticipated that Donald Trump would be president.'

During the comedy portion of the evening, Obama even mocked Trump.

One thing was made abundantly clear: Obama and his team never anticipated a Trump presidency.

'The outcome of the election was a direct rebuke of everything that Obama had been trying to do for the last 10 years.' 

'Trump's candidacy was anathema to everything that the Obama campaign and the Obama era, the Obama administration, had been about.' 

Trump fired off his campaign four years later, in June 2015.

'Nobody took it seriously at the time,' said Cody Keenan, another speechwriter for Mr. Obama. 

But then, Trump won.
