Former President Trump on Tuesday lashed out at former President Obama, who has aggressively hit the campaign trail in support of Vice President Harris in battleground states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s a real jerk because I\u2019ve watched him campaign over the last couple of days,\u201d Trump told supporters at a rally in North Carolina. \u201cOver the last couple of days I\u2019ve watched him campaign. What a divider he is. He divides this country. He couldn\u2019t care less, him and his little group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump shrugged off Obama\u2019s presence on the trail, noting he campaigned in support<\/u><\/a> of then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 race, which Trump won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe reason they\u2019re bringing him out \u2014 because he doesn\u2019t even want to do it. I think he\u2019s exhausted. I watched him talk and I think the guy\u2019s exhausted. \u2026 He\u2019s looking a little bit older isn\u2019t he. You know? Nothing wrong with that. But he\u2019s exhausted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obama\u2002<\/u><\/a>has campaigned in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona in support of Harris and other Democrats on the ticket in recent weeks. He appeared Tuesday in Wisconsin and Michigan, and he is set to appear alongside the vice president at a rally in Georgia on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The former president remains especially popular among Democrats, and he has used his appearances to try and appeal directly<\/u><\/a> to Black men and to make the case that Trump is unfit to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe said January 6th was a day of love. \u2026 You would be worried if grandpa was acting like this. You\u2019d call up your brother. You\u2019d call up your cousins. You\u2019d say, \u2018Have you noticed?’\u201d Obama said of Trump on Tuesday in Madison, Wis. \u201cBut this is coming from somebody who wants unchecked power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump and the Obamas have been political rivals for years, but there has also been personal animosity because of Trump pushing the false conspiracy theory that former President Obama\u2002<\/u><\/a>was not born in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Obamas served as the keynote speakers during the second night of the Democratic National Convention in August, electrifying the crowd and delivering a stinging rebuke<\/u><\/a> of Trump in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
