Trump accuses Obama of funding Iran and backing a nuclear path
Donald Trump criticized former President Barack Obama, claiming he paid billions to Iran and enabled its nuclear ambitions while also campaigning for Democratic candidates.
Donald Trump launched a harsh attack on former President Barack Obama at a campaign event, accusing him of paying Iran billions of dollars and providing a route to a nuclear weapon. Trump labeled Obama as incompetent and faulted him for campaigning for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, both of whom he said lost. He further claimed Obama now supports a "Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist" who despises Jews, Blacks, Americans, and Trump himself.
The former president contrasted these accusations with his own achievements in Michigan, such as reviving the car industry, restoring an Air Force base, and creating more jobs than ever. Trump concluded by urging voters to back Republican candidate Mike Rogers, promising he will not disappoint them.
Why it matters
The remarks illustrate how former presidents are used as political weapons in the 2024 election campaign.
