He usually stays out of the fray, but apparently that is changing. At least for this cycle.

nytimes.com - Obama trump midterms campaign

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday attacked President Trump’s administration in searing and mocking terms, saying it was defined by “incompetence the likes of which we have not seen in modern times.”

...

Mr. Obama, who has been selective about publicly criticizing Mr. Trump, condemned his Republican successor’s stewardship of the country in terms that were personal and pointed. He said Mr. Trump’s second term had amounted to “two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption,” argued that top administration officials were not “not serious people” and said Mr. Trump had led the country into an economically painful war in Iran “that nobody asked for.”

...

“He should be on HGTV,” Mr. Obama said, ridiculing Mr. Trump’s focus on applying gold trimmings to the White House. “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.”

Refreshing to hear a president that has a vocabulary of more than 200 words, and can insult better than "you're a terrible person".
