Donald Trump throws shade at ‘terrible’ Obama and reveals ‘worst president in history’
Donald Trump criticized Barack Obama, calling him a “terrible” president, but said he does not think Obama is the worst leader the U.S. has ever had.
Speaking for about an hour at a Republican fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C., Trump encouraged members of his party to stay united, especially as his poll numbers have been dropping. He told supporters that Republicans would make America strong, proud, safe, and great again, and urged them to go out and win the upcoming midterm elections.
During the event, Trump also took shots at past presidents, which is something he often does in his speeches. After receiving an award at the dinner, he again went after Obama, saying Obama divided the country and did a poor job as president. However, Trump said that Joe Biden was, in his opinion, the worst president in U.S. history.
Trump has often criticized both Obama and Biden in the past. He even made symbolic moves at the White House, like adding plaques under their portraits that he said highlighted their failures.
He also attacked the Democratic Party, claiming they put America last, while Republicans put the country first. According to him, Republicans represent hardworking Americans and focus more on national interests.
Trump went on to repeat his criticism of Obama’s Iran policy. He said Obama gave too much away to Iran and allowed them to move closer to developing nuclear weapons. Trump pointed out that he ended that agreement when he became president. The deal he referred to was the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, which aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for easing economic sanctions.
Earlier in the speech, Trump also spoke about the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He claimed that Iran wants to make a deal with the United States but is too afraid to say it openly. He suggested that Iran fears both its own people and possible U.S. action.
Trump described the situation as a military operation and said the U.S. has been heavily weakening Iran, claiming there have been major military successes that are not being shown on television.
However, Iran has pushed back on these claims. Officials there said there have been no direct talks with the U.S., although they admitted that messages have been passed through third parties instead.
