Trump and Obama slug it out as both sides barnstorm battleground states and Barack campaigns with Biden for first time
PRESIDENT Donald Trump faced off with Joe Biden in battleground states on the final weekend before the election as the former veep campaigned with Barack Obama for the first time.
Trump, speaking at a Pennsylvania rally, slammed his opponent as a part of the “corrupt political class” and “not equipped to lead America” as he raged against "Washington insiders."
“I said that’s good, he campaigned for Hillary. How did that work out?” .
Trump also slammed Obama and Biden, who teamed up for an invite-only rally in Flint, Michigan – which has suffered an ongoing public health crisis since 2014 caused by drinking water contaminated with lead.
“Biden & Obama owe a massive apology to the People of Flint. The water was poisoned on their watch. Not only did they fail them, Biden proudly accepted the endorsement of disastrous Gov Rick Snyder!” .
“They had 42 people! He drew flies, did you ever hear the expression? Obama drew flies,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.
Less than 24 hours before those comments, in Wisconsin: "Barack Hussein Obama arrived to help Sleepy Joe because Sleepy Joe is only capable of doing one of these every three or four days.”
Obama previously roasted Trump, claiming: “His TV ratings are down.”

He also criticized his successor for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"You think he's hard at work coming up with a plan to get us out of this mess? Well, I don't know, because I know he's had a tough week. Everybody's been very unfair to Donald Trump this week," Obama said.
