Obama shreds Trump over ballroom bizarre Truth Social videos and familys crypto fortune:It's like every day is Halloween

Former President Barack Obama tore into Donald Trump and said it feels like “every day is Halloween — except it’s all tricks and no treats” under his administration.

Obama shredded Trump during a speech Saturday in support of Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, where he said, “It’s worse than even I expected.” “It's not as if we didn't see some of this coming,” Obama told the crowd at the rally in Norfolk. “I will admit it's worse than even I expected. But I did warn y'all,” he added.

The former president began by reeling off how the Trump family has benefited from cryptocurrency dealings and accused the president of prioritizing his “billionaire pals and finance bros.” “Is the economy working better for you? Because it sure has gotten better for Trump and his family,” said Obama.

Members of the Trump family, through an umbrella company, own more than half of the cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial and it has allegedly netted them hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Reuters.

Also, at the beginning of the video, Obama demonstrates how to platonically hug a woman, so pay attention JD Vance!

It’s solely for him to throw big parties for his billionaire bros at our expense.

Not suggesting he doesn’t write them himself. I just don’t know. Shouldn’t be too hard to get these strong, clear, memorable messages from other Dems, but few seem to be doing so. Oratory is a skill. Need more

Trump seethes with hate for BO, and all POC really

But his MO has always been ‘you punch, I punch back harder’ His schtick now is to threaten jail for dissent of his holiness. Or to make them pay or suffer somehow

The Obamas and all folks close to them need to be careful

Let’s see the orange fuck face run against Obama without running malicious software in the tabulators. By the way, if you’ve never done it, go to YouTube “election truth, alliance”, and watch some of their videos.
