This is despite the two insulting each other during the US election campaign and Trump trying to undo a lot of what his predecessor has legislated.
The new US president made the claim during an interview with presenter Bill O’Reilly on Fox News.
When O’Reilly asked him why he thought Obama had a soft spot for him he simply replied: ‘I can feel it.’
He added: ‘It’s a very strange phenomena. We get along. I don’t know if he’ll admit this, but he likes me, I like him.’
