Former US President: Obama accuses Trump of making apology for terrorism

Shortly before the legislative elections in the United States, former President Obama accused his successor Trump of doing the apology for immigration. In addition, the Republican divided the country. Trump's return car arrived quickly.

Former US President Barack Obama has accused his successor Donald Trump and the Republicans of consciously stirring up migrants during the election campaign. "They tell you that a group of poor refugees thousands of miles away is an existential threat to America," the Democrat said during an election campaign in Miami. It's a "political broadcast" that Trump sent soldiers to the Mexican border because of migrants, Obama added. The only concern of the Republicans is to distract them from the record of their own government with alarmist tactics.

"Break the lies"

In addition, Obama accused Trump of a "politics of division". He hopes the voters "will break the lies, hide the noise and remind us of who we are," Obama said. "If people can simply lie with devotion, democracy can not work."

Obama also defended press freedom and called for a vote in the upcoming congressional elections. An election on its own "would not eliminate racism, badism and homophobia," said the Democratic politician. "But it will be a start."

Threat of electoral defeat

In the legislative elections on Tuesday, Trump Republicans are likely to lose their majority in the House of Representatives. The president once again tightened his rhetoric and his stance against illegal immigration during the election campaign.

It speaks of an "invasion" and a danger to the US national security, which also justifies the use of firearms. He also baderts that among the migrants are also people from the Middle East – without having proof of these statements.

Trump's return coach

Trump's expected reaction was not long in coming. He accused his predecessor of not honoring the promises made to voters. Obama told a lie after another and broke "one promise at a time," Trump said at an election rally in Huntington, Virginia.

For example, Obama has promised, under his health care law, that "you can keep the doctor you love". However, some Americans should have changed health insurance or health care with Obamacare. Moreover, nobody was "worse off with the press than Obama," said Trump. "He's talking about being nice to Fake News – no, thank you!"
