Former President Barack Obama deconstructed some of Donald Trumpā€™s playbook attacks while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada on Saturday.

Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Obama accused the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), of leaning on scaremongering about immigration as an answer to any issue.

ā€œIf you challenge them, theyā€™ll fall back on one answer. It does not matter what it is ā€” housing, health care, education, paying for the bills ā€” one answer: blame the immigrants,ā€ he said.

ā€œHe wants you to believe that if you elect him, he will just round up whoever he wants and ship them out and all your problems will be solved,ā€ he added.

He acknowledged that thereā€™s a ā€œreal issueā€ at the border and elements of the system are ā€œbroken,ā€ but criticized Trumpā€™s approach.

ā€œWhen I hear Donald Trump talk ā€¦ heā€™s very quick to say to Kamala, ā€˜Well, you were vice president for four years,ā€™ā€ he added. ā€œDude, you were president for four years!ā€

    A president that left countless people to die to a pandemic and recommended that they inject bleach. Trump is a monster.
