Former President Barack Obama is upset that men aren’t interested in voting for Kamala Harris – and rather than addressing the problem, or helping Kamala do better, he’s resorting to lying about President Trump.
According to Obama, Trump – a literal billionaire who stood and shouted “fight!” ater getting shot in the face – doesn’t represent “real strength.”
At a glance:
- Former President Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump, telling American men that Trump’s behavior does not reflect “real strength” during a rally for Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh.
- Obama emphasized that real strength is about hard work, responsibility, and helping others, contrasting it with Trump’s behavior.
- Obama’s focus in the final weeks of the campaign is reaching key demographics, including African American men, amid concerns about low enthusiasm in these groups.
In a rally supporting Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh, former President Barack Obama directly addressed American men, challenging the idea that Donald Trump’s behavior represents true strength. Obama argued that Trump’s actions, including bullying and dishonesty, should not be seen as markers of strength. Instead, he emphasized that real strength is about hard work, taking responsibility, and standing up for others, especially those who can’t stand up for themselves.

Obama expressed disappointment with how some men perceive Trump’s behavior, urging voters not to equate cruelty with strength. He pointed out that Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, represent the values and character that Americans should expect from their leaders.
During the rally, Obama also addressed the gender gap in the upcoming election, acknowledging that while Harris is performing well with women, her campaign is facing challenges in garnering support from men, particularly young men, Latino men, and Black men. Obama took particular aim at Trump’s false claims and attacks, questioning how such behavior could be accepted, even by those who did not support him.
In the final stretch before the election, Obama is prioritizing outreach to African American men, a demographic with lower enthusiasm for Harris compared to when he ran. Obama urged voters, especially men, to reflect on their views and not let outdated perceptions of gender roles or strength dictate their choices in the election.
And they’re not going to listen to him…
