US President Donald Trump has said that former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama never showed him respect, reviving his long-running grievances with his predecessors.

Trump made the remarks while reflecting on his relationships with past administrations. He contrasted their treatment of him with what he described as the respect he receives from foreign leaders and supporters.

The comments are part of a familiar pattern. Trump has frequently accused Democratic leaders of undermining him, while Biden and Obama have in turn criticised his policies and conduct in office. The feud between the camps has been one of the defining features of American politics for nearly a decade.

Neither Biden nor Obama has responded directly to the latest remarks, though both have previously dismissed similar claims.

The remarks come as Trump pushes a busy domestic and foreign agenda, from the Trump Accounts programme to ongoing diplomacy in the Middle East and Asia. Political analysts say the personal framing is typical of Trump’s communication style, keeping his base engaged while drawing a sharp contrast with his predecessors.
