Story highlights President Barack Obama has repeatedly pledged a smooth transition

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted that was 'NOT!' the case

(CNN) Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of making "many inflammatory statements and roadblocks" during the President-elect's transition to the White House.

"Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks. Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!" Trump tweeted

Trump appeared to reverse himself later Wednesday when, responding to a reporter's question in Florida, he said the transition was going "very, very smoothly." The President-elect also said he spoke with Obama Wednesday in what he termed a "nice conversation," and later in the day, he said he was getting along well with Obama, "aside from a few statements."

Trump's morning tirade comes after Obama said in an interview published this week that he could have beaten Trump in the 2016 election if he were eligible to run a third time.

"I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it," Obama told his former senior adviser David Axelrod in an interview for the "The Axe Files" podcast, produced by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.
