Trump blasted Barack Obama as he spoke to supporters in North Carolina on Wednesday[/caption]“Obama’s now campaigning, even though he refused to support Biden,” Trump claimed as he spoke to his supporters in Gastonia.
“Even after Biden sort of semi-won. He wouldn’t do it. It took forever.”
“But now he’s campaigning for him.”
Trump said he questioned if Obama hitting the trails for his former VP was “good news or bad news.”
“It was good. There was nobody that campaigned harder for crooked Hillary Clinton than Obama, right?” Trump said.
“He said ‘He will not be our president.’ But before that, he said ‘He will not run,'” Trump said of the 2016 election.
Trump added: “The only one more unhappy than crooked Hillary that night was Barack Hussein Obama.”
The president repeatedly referred to Obama by his full middle name, Hussein, during the rally.
Trump also compared pictures of his and Obama’s crowd sizes at their respective inaugurations.
President Trump also claimed that photos showing a largely empty crowd were taken five or six hours after his address – despite time stamps on the photos, Daily Mail reported.
