Former President Barack Obama has once again criticized Donald Trump, questioning why the former president continues to garner support despite his self-centered behavior. Speaking at a recent rally, Obama said, “What I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you, because there’s absolutely no evidence that this man thinks about anybody but himself.”
Obama went on to reflect on Trump’s long-standing focus on personal grievances, stating, “I’ve said it before, and I’m gonna say it again. Donald Trump is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down that golden escalator 9 years ago.”

The former president urged Americans to consider Trump’s record, highlighting that throughout his time in office and beyond, the former president consistently put his own interests ahead of the country’s well-being. “From tax cuts for the wealthy to undermining democratic institutions, Trump’s legacy is one of prioritizing his own agenda over the needs of the American people,” Obama added.
As the 2024 election cycle intensifies, Obama’s pointed remarks are likely to resonate with Democratic voters and add fuel to the ongoing debate over Trump’s role in the nation’s political landscape. The former president’s latest comments come as part of a broader effort by Democrats to mobilize voters and challenge Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party.
