Barack Obama Delivers Fiery Anti-Trump Speeches at Rallies

Barack Obama has had it with President Donald Trump and the Republican party. The former president let loose during campaign stops Friday in Milwaukee and Detroit, where he encouraged Democrats to get out and vote in the midterms and warned that the “character of our country is on the ballot” in the upcoming November 6th elections.

Although he did not mention Trump by name, Obama unleashed some heavy criticism of the current president. Referring to Trump’s relationship with the truth, Obama said, “Throughout human history, certainly throughout American history, politicians have exaggerated. But what we have not seen before in our public life is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly lying. Just making stuff up.”

He then pointed to Trump’s promise to pass a tax cut before the election, despite the fact that Congress will not be in session again until after the midterms.

Obama also accused the Republican party of drumming up crises before elections, including their disingenuous concern about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, referring a New York Times report that Trump uses an unsecured iPhone, despite Secret Service requests he switch to a more secure device, and once left the phone in a golf cart. (The president denied the report in a tweet sent from an iPhone.)
