US President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Barack Obama of making "inflammatory" statements and complicating the impending transfer of power - the latest salvo in an escalating war of words with the current commander-in-chief.
The unorthodox personal and public criticism of a sitting president comes less than a month before the 70-year-old Trump - who defeated Obama's preferred successor Hillary Clinton in November's presidential election - takes office.
"Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President statements and roadblocks," Trump wrote on Twitter.
"Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!"
The social media jab is the latest from the 70-year-old real estate mogul aimed at Obama, in what has become a most unconventional transition between the outgoing Democrat and the incoming Republican leader.
Obama said in an interview released earlier this week that he could have been re-elected for a third term if he had been eligible and that the nation still largely embraces his political vision.
