During a rally in North Carolina, former President Donald Trump made headlines by referring to former President Barack Obama as 'a real jerk.' Trump's comments came as he observed Obama campaigning for Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz and criticizing Trump in the process.
Trump expressed his disapproval of Obama's campaign efforts, labeling him as a 'divider' and criticizing his performance as president. He accused Obama of being self-centered, stating that there is 'absolutely no evidence that this man thinks about anybody but himself.'
Obama, who appeared at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier that day, has been actively campaigning for the Democratic ticket. Trump took a swipe at Obama's involvement in the campaign, suggesting that Obama was stepping in due to the perceived incapability of the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, to campaign effectively.
Trump's remarks reflect the ongoing political tensions between the two former presidents and their respective parties. The exchange of criticisms and personal attacks underscores the divisive nature of contemporary American politics.
