Trump’s latest remarks are stirring up fresh controversy.
During his latest public speech, one former president was labeled “terrible” — but another got an even harsher title.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke for over an hour at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C. on March 25, where he urged Republicans to stay united despite slipping poll numbers.
The fundraising comes as Republicans seek to maintain and potentially expand their current 218-214 majority in the House ahead of the midterm elections.
Quickly turned toward familiar targets
“We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again, and most importantly, we will make America great again,” Trump told the crowd.
“Thank you very much Republicans, go out and win the midterms!”
Then, the speech quickly turned toward familiar targets, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
“If you go back to Obama, he was a great divider. He divided this nation. He was a lousy president. The worst president in history was Biden. But Obama was a terrible president,” Trump said.
While criticizing Obama, Trump made it clear he believes Biden holds the title of “worst president in history.”
He also accused Democrats more broadly of failing the country.
“Republicans are the party for every hardworking patriot,” he said. “And we do something very much different from them. We put America first.”
Republicans are facing serious political challenges as they head into the midterms. Historically, the party controlling the White House tends to lose seats, and this year’s rough political climate isn’t helping.
