President Donald Trump made a scathing attack on Barack Obama after the former president criticized him at a midterm campaign rally. The exchange is an addition to the escalation between the two politicians as midterm elections approach.
Donald Trump calls out Barack Obama after his rally
Donald Trump described Barack Obama as a “grossly incompetent President” in a post on Truth Social at 12:42 a.m. Sunday. He accused Obama of giving Iran a “road to a Nuclear Weapon.” The president also mocked the latter’s campaign record, noting that the former president backed Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, both of whom lost.
“He said that Crooked Hillary Clinton was going to WIN, he campaigned hard for her, and she lost in all directions and ways. He then campaigned full out for Kamala, and likewise, she lost,” the president wrote in the post.
Trump then turned to Michigan, where Obama has campaigned for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Trump called El-Sayed a “Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist, who hates Jews and Blacks and AMERICANS and TRUMP, and he is going to lose, also.” He added, “He’s a Fake Doctor, who runs what is considered to be the WORST CLINIC IN AMERICA.”
El-Sayed’s criticism of the Israeli government has alienated some Jewish voters in Michigan, and he has struggled to gain support among Black voters in the state. “Michigan doesn’t want an arrogant, Open Borders, Fake Doctor, Jihadist, whose reputation will only get worse as more information is revealed,” Trump wrote. He urged Michiganders to support his Senate pick, Mike Rogers, who is locked in a close race with El-Sayed, according to polls.
Moreover, the outburst followed a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, where Obama portrayed Trump as an agent of “chaos and cruelty” in his biting attack on him in recent years. It’s evidence of how Obama has stepped up his criticism of Trump ahead of the midterms, where Republicans face possible losses in the House of Representatives and a tight fight to retain control of the Senate.
