Former President Barack Obama admitted black men are unenthusiastic about Democrat selectee Kamala Harris and are abandoning the Democrat Party in droves to vote for Donald Trump, a remark that caught the former Republican president’s attention.
“Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday.
“I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!”
Trump’s comments came in reference to a video circulating on social media showing Obama telling a group of black voters he wasn’t seeing the energy among blacks he saw when he ran.
“The 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 told a group of black men, going on to urge them to vote on the basis of race.
“Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,” he said.
On Thursday, Obama campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he took several shots at Trump and took credit for his booming economy.

Obama joked Trump wears diapers, and claimed he once changed his daughter’s diapers (though no known photos of Michelle Obama being pregnant exist).
Obama additionally criticized Trump for mean tweets, claiming he makes word salad remarks, for believing in conspiracy theories, and for “selling stuff.”
He also shamed men for supporting Trump.

Overall, Obama’s rally speech came off more as a frantic last-ditch hail mary selling pitch, proving Trump’s point that Democrats’ are desperate and in panic mode over their severely flawed candidate this late in the game.
