Former U.S. President Barack Obama criticized current White House occupant Donald Trump over his fondness for gold, and Trump responded by calling his predecessor an incompetent president, infohub.kz reports.
According to Fox News, the former president lashed out at the current occupant of the White House while speaking at a Democratic rally ahead of the midterm elections. "I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very into renovating the White House. Gold everywhere. He's turned the White House into a place that looks like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory," Obama said.
Fox News also quoted him saying the president should host his own show: "He's very focused on renovating the house. He should be on HGTV." Obama mocked Trump's ballroom project, the changes to the Rose Garden and the abundance of gold decor, asking once again: "What is the deal with that gold?"
In response, Trump posted on Truth Social, criticizing Obama. "Obama was a grossly incompetent president! He bribed Iran with billions of dollars and gave them a path to nuclear weapons. He said lying Hillary Clinton would win, he campaigned hard for her, and she lost in every way. Then he campaigned hard for Kamala, and she lost too. Now he's campaigning for a jihadist from the Muslim Brotherhood who hates Jews, Black people, Americans and Trump, and he's going to lose too. He's a fake doctor running a clinic considered the worst in America. I won Michigan, won big, brought back the auto industry, the air base and everything else. And created more jobs than ever before. Michigan doesn't need an arrogant fake doctor, an open-borders supporter and a jihadist whose reputation will only get worse as new information comes out — and there's plenty of it. Vote for Mike Rogers! He will never let you down!" Trump said.
As Euronews reported, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan. In November he will face Republican Mike Rogers in a bid to keep the Senate seat in Democratic hands. The results of the November elections will determine the composition of Congress for the remainder of U.S. President Donald Trump's time in office.
