Obama Compares Trump to ‘Richie Rich’
November 16, 2020 at 12:08 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
Barack Obama called Donald Trump “Richie Rich” in an interview with The Atlantic.
Said Obama: “There’s a notion that a man is true to his word, that he takes responsibility, that he doesn’t complain, that he isn’t a bully—in fact he defends the vulnerable against bullies.”
He added: “And so even if you are someone who is annoyed by wokeness and political correctness and wants men to be men again and is tired about everyone complaining about the patriarchy, I thought that the model wouldn’t be Richie Rich—the complaining, lying, doesn’t-take-responsibility-for-anything type of figure.”
Obama is promoting his new book, A Promised Land.
