Obama blasts Trump’s ‘chaos and cruelty’ while campaigning for Democrats

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Former United States (US) president Barack Obama delivered a scathing critique of his successor, Donald Trump, at a rally Saturday in Ohio to support Democratic candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

“After two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in the modern era, you get a chance to say, ‘Enough is enough,'” Obama declared in Cleveland. “We are voting for change right here in Ohio.”

The 65-year-old Democrat blamed the Trump administration for the rising cost of living, a top voter concern amid soaring fuel prices.
