Obama Issues Searing Attacks on Trump, Ramaswamy in Return to Campaign Trail

The 44th president appeared in Ohio on Saturday, kicking off a two-state swing with a rebuke of President Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for governor.

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday attacked President Trump’s administration in searing and mocking terms, saying it was defined by “incompetence the likes of which we have not seen in modern times.”

Appearing in Cleveland at his first campaign rally of the midterm elections, Mr. Obama delivered his most forceful attack on Mr. Trump in recent memory. He also criticized a campaign ad from the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, Vivek Ramaswamy, saying it exemplified a coarsening of American politics.

Mr. Obama, who has been selective about publicly criticizing Mr. Trump, condemned his Republican successor’s stewardship of the country in terms that were personal and pointed. He said Mr. Trump’s second term had amounted to “two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption,” argued that top administration officials were “not serious people” and said Mr. Trump had led the country into an economically painful war in Iran “that nobody asked for.”

“As a former president, I can tell you sometimes factors beyond a president’s control end up foiling the best-laid plans,” Mr. Obama said. But, he added: “That is not the case here. In this case, this administration’s actions are directly responsible for rising costs.”

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand"
