Obama Claims New Yorkers ‘Don’t Take Trump Seriously’

During a podcast interview, former President Barack Obama swiped at Donald Trump claiming the former President is not taken “seriously” in the city he called home for years, New York City.

Obama appeared alongside Bill Clinton and President Biden in the newest episode of the “SmartLess” podcast. 

Obama was asked on the “SmartLess” podcast by co-host Jason Bateman whether he was surprised how quickly the “protection and passion for democracy was diluted” in recent years. Obama responded by noting the trend began during former President Clinton’s time in the White House before accelerating during his presidency.

“I have been surprised that there haven’t been guardrails inside the Republican Party. Trump didn’t surprise me,” he said, before taking aim at Trump.

“I mean, he comes from New York. There’s nobody in New York who does business with him or lend him money. He’s not considered a serious guy here,” Obama added.

Obama went on to explain how he thought more Republicans would say some of Trump’s behavior went too far.

“But, so I was surprised he was elected, but I wasn’t surprised in terms of his behavior. I did expect, and I suspect Bill and Joe, you’d agree with this, that there would be some folks in the Republican Party who would say, no, you can’t go that far. You can’t start praising Putin and saying that his intelligence is better than the US intelligence agencies,” he said.

Trump is currently on trial in New York for falsifying business records to make alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

  1. Obama is an unserious out-of-touch has-been. He got into office solely because the American voter was eager to have a first ever Black president (a feel-good thing to put the taint of slavery behind us). Obama’s operations in the background in the Biden White House are failing America. He feels his power slipping away thanks to Biden’s unpopularity which will likely lose him the election in November. Obama is trying to make light of Trump, but he is inept at it. Trump is more popular than he ever was. Obama made a snide remark that “nobody does business with Trump” in New York. I must have missed seeing the Obama Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The construction workers that cheered “Trump, Trump, Trump” and “USA, USA, USA” in Manhattan this week were quite familiar with Trump’s success as a building contractor in the city [given they worked on many of the buildings Trump built there]. This sham trial is a blessing in disguise as Trump’s visits on the streets of NYC with the people just might turn that city RED!

  2. They’re all laughing while the average US Citizen is paying triple for essentials AND also supporting Illegals.
