President Donald Trump, the man who for years claimed that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, believes that the former president of the United States likes him.

“It’s a very strange phenomenon: We get along,” Trump told Bill O’Reilly in an interview for Fox News that aired Monday. “I don’t know if he’ll admit this, but he likes me. I like him.”

“How do you know he likes you?” O’Reilly asked.

“Because I can feel it,” Trump explained. “That’s what I do in life. It’s called, like, ‘I understand.’”

In addition to claiming that he and the man whose U.S. citizenship he once questioned get along, Trump went on to say of the former president that he campaigned harder for Hillary Clinton than Clinton did for herself. He claimed that it was part of the political game and that the vitriolic words they had both lobbed at each other were of no consequence.

“He was vicious during the campaign toward me, and I was vicious toward him. We said horrible things about each other, and then we hop into the car and we drive down Pennsylvania Avenue together, we don’t even talk about it,” he said. “Politics is amazing.”
