Obama blames Trump for 'starting unnecessary war nobody asked for'

Former US president Barack Obama has accused Donald Trump of "starting an unnecessary war that nobody asked for". "The current president chose to make a series of bad decisions," Obama said in Ohio, where he rallied in support of former Democratic senator Sherrod Brown. "Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for," he said, according to AFP. "After two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in the modern era, you get a chance to say, 'Enough is enough,'" Obama declared in Cleveland. "We are voting for change right here in Ohio." Iran war, he said, is “the reason why the price of just about everything is up”.
