During a rally in Novi, Michigan, former President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of former President Barack Obama, stating, “I don’t happen to think he’s a good speaker, but he’d come, he’d make a speech, and he’d leave.” This remark came as Trump discussed China and the tariffs imposed by previous administrations.
As the 2024 election heats up, Obama has been actively campaigning in key swing states such as Pennsylvania and Georgia. Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are aiming to energize their supporters as early voting begins and Election Day approaches.
The rivalry between Trump and Obama has escalated, with both sides exchanging barbs. In a recent campaign event, Obama remarked on Trump’s behavior, saying, “He acts so crazy, and it’s become so common that people no longer take it seriously.” He added, “Just because he acts goofy does not mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous.”
Earlier in the week, Trump did not hold back, calling Obama a “jerk” while discussing his campaign efforts in North Carolina. Trump criticized Obama’s divisive nature, claiming, “What a divider he is. He divides this country. He couldn’t care less, him and his little group of people.”
These comments highlight the increasingly personal nature of the 2024 election campaign, with both candidates taking direct shots at one another. In addition to his criticisms of Obama, Trump also targeted Harris during the rally, referencing her recent event with celebrities Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland.
