"I respect Obama" ··· Trump's attitude, why did he change?

"I like him. I think he's a great gentleman."

Former President Donald Trump suddenly made unusual positive remarks to former President Barack Obama in an interview with CNN on the 20th (local time), drawing attention.

However, he did not leave out a negative assessment, saying, "Former President Obama had a weak trade sector, and what countries like Japan and China did to the United States was a disaster."

At the same time, he made a friendly remark again, adding, "I respect him and I respect your wife."



In fact, former President Trump's remarks are considered quite unusual. During the 2008 presidential election, former President Trump actively spread conspiracy theories about former President Obama, who had a black father born in Kenya, saying, "It is impossible to run for president under the constitution because he was not born in the United States."

In the end, former President Obama did not hide his discomfort toward former President Trump by releasing his birth certificate that he was born in Hawaii.

Even his wife, Michelle, said, "I will never forgive xenophobic claims," and in his autobiography published in 2018, he said, "Everything is not normal, it is mean, and it is a plan to deliberately provoke political extremists and others." The background of former President Trump's sudden favorable evaluation of former President Obama has not yet been confirmed, but as the presidential election is very close, he is speculating that he has changed his position not to adversely affect black votes.


Meanwhile, Obama and his wife will be speakers at the Democratic National Convention in their second day to appeal for support for Vice President Harris, who is challenging the president.
