Obama termed the administration an agent of chaos and incompetence while mocking gold decor at the executive mansion. Speaking to reporters in Palm Beach County, Florida alongside Melania Trump, President Trump responded by calling Obama a lousy president. The escalating feud comes as both political leaders rally voters ahead of upcoming US elections.
