Former US President Barack Obama railed against Donald Trump: “There is no sign that this man is thinking about anyone other than himself,” he said of the Republican Party candidate, whose return to the White House Harris wants to prevent. Barack Obama campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the politically hotly contested state of Pennsylvania. The presidential election is Nov. 5, and polls suggest a close race.
What he couldn’t understand, Obama said, was why anyone would believe that Trump wanted to change things for the better. Trump is a “78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped complaining about his problems since he came down his golden escalator nine years ago.” Obama was referring to the moment when Trump first announced his presidential bid in 2015.
“There are the tweets in capital letters, the ranting and ranting about crazy conspiracy theories, the two-hour speeches, the word salad, (…) the constant attempts to sell them something. “Who does that?” asked Obama. Trump only cares about his ego, his money and his status. «He doesn’t think about you. For Donald Trump, power is nothing more than a means to an end.”
