In a recent exchange on the *PBD Podcast*, former President Donald Trump responded sharply to former President Barack Obama’s claims about the economy during the Trump administration. On October 10, Obama had credited his own administration’s policies for the strength of the economy Trump inherited, noting 75 consecutive months of job growth. Obama’s remarks suggested that the Trump administration’s economic success was built on foundations laid before Trump took office.
Obama tried to take credit for Trump’s economy, but forgets he bailed out the banks and created Obamacare and put $10T on the national debt!
Isn’t he behind Biden-Harris economy these past 4 years giving instructions from the basement? INFLATION AND NATIONAL DEBT NOW $35T!… pic.twitter.com/H7HD6gFysW

Trump, in turn, dismissed Obama’s assertions, characterizing his predecessor as “angry” and “nasty.” “I think he’s angry; he pretends not to be, but I think he’s an angry guy,” Trump stated. He also hinted at tensions between Obama and President Joe Biden, implying that Obama’s influence might have hindered Biden’s ability to maintain political momentum. “You look at what he did with Biden—he really hurt Biden,” Trump remarked, alluding to behind-the-scenes dynamics potentially affecting Biden’s chances in the ongoing re-election campaign.
Trump just gave a perfect reaction to Barack Obama taking credit for his economy and said Obama is secretly “ANGRY” and disrespectful to black men.

Folks, there was a time that if you said that, the media would have an aneurysm, and the left would go nuts.
Not a peep especially after the backlash when Obama started lecturing people about not voting for Kamala.
In another segment of the discussion, Trump criticized Obama’s recent appeal to black voters, specifically black men, to support Vice President Kamala Harris. Obama had implied that hesitation among black men to back Harris might stem from discomfort with the idea of a female president. Trump found Obama’s comments condescending, saying, “I think he spoke down to black men. I thought it was terrible the way he spoke to ’em.”
The former president also took aim at Obama’s physical appearance, remarking, “He’s changed a lot, visually… You say looks don’t matter… but they do.” Trump’s comments were a mix of critique and irony, referencing political correctness while implying that public image still plays a role in modern politics.
