President Trump doesn't lack for self-confidence at least not outwardly. Everything is the best and the greatest, and everybody is always talking about how fantastic is that thing Trump did or said.

And in a new interview, he may have taken this to a whole new level.

Speaking to Fox News's Sean Hannity in an interview airing Thursday night, Trump reflected on his relationship with President Obama, and he said he thinks his predecessor has actually come to like him.

What amazed me is that I was vicious to him in statements, he was vicious to me in statements, and here we are getting along, we're riding up Pennsylvania Avenue, talk we don't even mention it, Trump said. I guess that's the world of politics. But I was tough on him, he was tough on me, and I like him, he likes me. I think he likes me. I mean, you're going to have to ask him, but I think he likes me.

For those who need a little history refresher, when you look up the birther movement on Wikipedia or seek old news stories about it, there's one man whose name appears almost as much as Obama's: Donald Trump. Trump for years led the effort to question whether Obama was even qualified to serve as president.

Here's a sampling of what Obama has had to say about Trump over the years.

And for good measure, here are some things Trump has said about Obama:

Is it possible Obama has truly come around to liking this man who for years wielded one of the most notorious political conspiracy theories in U.S. history against him? Sure. Anything's possible. Trump, after all, has shown an ability to win over Republicans who have said awful things about him.

But those Republicans have to deal with Trump over the next four years, just like Obama had to deal with Trump during the transition. Andin Obama's case, there is a certain protocol that says an outgoing president should avoid meddling in the affairs of his successor. It's called being diplomatic.

When the two start hanging out a la Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, then we'll talk.
