Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, suddenly said on the 20th that he “likes” former President Barack Obama, drawing attention to his intention and background.

Former President Trump said in a brief interview with CNN reporter Christine Holmes after finishing a campaign stop in Michigan on the day, “I like him, I think he’s a wonderful gentleman.”

He said he admires not only Obama but also his wife (Michelle Obama).

Former President Obama was set to deliver a speech endorsing presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris on the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, that evening.

In the interview, the reporter reminded Obama that he had made remarks in 2020, such as “Trump is not qualified to be president,” ahead of his speech that day, but Trump said something about Obama that he had never said before, CNN reported.

Trump, however, was strongly critical of Obama’s foreign trade policies.

He said Obama has been a disaster on the trade front, as evidenced by what has happened in Japan and China.

CNN reported that experts in the studio reacted to Trump’s remarks by saying, “What’s going on?”

During the 2008 presidential election, Trump also claimed that former President Obama, whose father was born in Kenya, was not born in the United States and therefore constitutionally ineligible to run for president.

President Obama refuted the claims by even releasing his birth certificate proving that he was born in Hawaii.

One expert said Trump’s positive comments about Obama showed that he was losing in the election.
