Donald Trump Doesn't Agree With Barack Obama's Recent Statement
Donald Trump blasted Barack Obama during a recent press conference.
"Barack Obama just said if you put women in charge of every government for two years, things would be better. What do you think about that?" the reporter asked.

Barack Obama recently gave his take on women being in politics.
"Ridiculous. I love women, I think they're great, but what a ridiculous statement that is," Trump scoffed in response.

'I love women, I think they're great,' Donald Trump said.
“Even when I was president, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years and then just kind of saw, all right, how are things going?" he said.
Obama further criticized Trump in recent weeks about the rise of AI technology.
“[The] government has to be regulating this!" he said during a September 18 appearance at Colgate University.

Barack Obama and Donald Trump have criticized each other in the past.
Trump previously claimed the only guidelines AI needs is a "smart president," referring to himself.
Obama warned during his speech that the regulation of AI is just as important as governing food and medicine.
“I heard one of Donald Trump’s main advisers on this make the argument that, ‘The market will take care of it. These companies will solve the safety issues because they have every incentive to do so — if it turns out to be dangerous, people will just sue them and they’re worried about financial liability,'" Obama said.

Donald Trump went on a scathing Truth Social rant about Barack Obama in May.
"That’s not how we treat airlines! Or drug companies, or food companies," Obama added.
Trump also slammed the former Illinois senator in a scathing Truth Social rant back in May. The businessman called to "Arrest Obama the traitor," and accused him of orchestrating a "coup" by collaborating with the CIA to create false intelligence during the 2016 election.
"Arrest them all. Prosecute them all. Incarcerate them all at once for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government," one post read. "But first, Barack Obama."
Another post alleged Obama committed "treason" and accused him of "seditious conspiracy" in connection to the 2016 electoral cycle.
