Former President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, might cast a vote for him in the upcoming election because Kamala Harris “is an extremely low IQ person.” The remark followed Obama’s appeal to black men on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign event in Pittsburgh.
Speaking at a Harris field office on Thursday, Obama acknowledged concerns about voter turnout in black communities, especially among men. “My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said.
Obama pointedly addressed black men, noting a lower level of enthusiasm for Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden stepped aside. “Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president,” Obama said, hinting that some men might view supporting Harris as a challenge to traditional notions of masculinity. “That’s not acceptable,” Obama added.
Trump took Obama’s comments as an opportunity to make a quip about the former president’s potential vote. In a post on Truth Social, Trump interpreted Obama’s critique of Harris’s low appeal to black male voters as dissatisfaction with the vice president herself. “Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with black men,” Trump wrote. “I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!”
Despite Trump’s tongue-in-cheek remark, Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have been vocal in their support for Harris. After Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee earlier this year, the Obamas released a statement endorsing her. “There is no doubt in our mind that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people,” they said.

Obama needs to take a 1 way trip to this most infamous Delaware basement, where he can spend the rest of his life commiserating with his former beloved vice president, never to again reemerge from this Delaware basement
Low IQ? Really? She manages to find every terrorist in US, engages with them, and finds some underhanded way to support them with encouragement and money. She hasn’t got a policy that benefits Americans, so she manages to avoid answering any direct questions. She goes on obscure podcasts and pediatric interviews, never submitting to the real ones. Oh, she experimented with a few from outlets she believed would be gentle, but her performances were so bad that she will avoid them, too. That’s not low IQ. It’s purely evil.
Amazing how Harris sounds and looks EXACTLY like Obama when he speaks off the cuff. hand motions, pauses, facial expressions, vague references to nothing
What trump doesn’t understand it seems is that Obama wants Harris in just like Biden because it’s a same puppet with a different face
The degenerate, adulterous, lying felon was the dumbest most unknowledgable president in history. Wonder why he threatened his college never to release his transcripts. Would like to see him try to get a law degree.
“somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences, who’s able to work harder and do more and overcome and achieves the second-highest office in the land and is putting forward concrete proposals,”
It would be hard to find a LESS accurate description of Kamala Harris when speaking to the crowd that Obama was addressing. Or any other crowd for that matter. That is why they don’t identify with her. But of course Obama cannot intellectually or politically allow himself to acknowledge that , so instead, he accuses black men of being anti-woman self-hating pigs who don’t know what is good for them but should feel guilty simply for not voting for Harris.
Michelle or Michael will be president as the rat was Biden’s voice and hand, thankfully I am not an American but an Israeli, you in America can rot in hades
Obamala Harris
