Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump offered rare praise for his predecessor, Barack Obama while speaking to reporters ahead of his scheduled appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night. Although Trump has been a relentless critic of Obama in the past, he took a softer tone this time, referring to the 44th president as a “nice gentleman” whom he happens to “like and respect” in an interview. “I thought he was a terrible president. He didn’t do the job. He let people take advantage of us on trade,” Trump said while on the campaign trail in Michigan. “Especially trade—he was very weak on trade. But I happen to like him. I respect him and his wife.” #dnc2024 #obama #trump #uspresidentialelections2024 #news18 SOURCE: REUTERS AND AP News18 Mobile App -
