OBAMA BLASTS TRUMP’S ‘CHAOS AND CRUELTY’ WHILE CAMPAIGNING FOR DEMOCRATS
Former US President Barack Obama has criticised President Donald Trump’s leadership, urging Americans to support Democratic candidates in the November 3 midterm elections.
Speaking at rallies in Ohio and Michigan on Saturday, Obama described the administration’s record as one of “chaos and cruelty” and accused Trump of failing to deliver on promises to reduce living costs.
He argued that the President’s decisions had added to the financial pressure facing households, particularly as fuel prices climbed.
In Cleveland, Obama campaigned alongside former senator Sherrod Brown and Democratic governorship candidate Amy Acton. He encouraged voters to use the election to demand change and greater accountability.
Obama later appeared in Michigan to support Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, highlighting the importance of representation and cooperation across religious backgrounds.
The former president also criticised Trump’s focus on White House renovation projects while many Americans struggled with everyday expenses.
With early voting underway in both states, Obama urged supporters to cast their ballots promptly.
His appearances formed part of Democratic efforts to regain control of Congress and strengthen their position in closely contested state elections.
