President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani Thursday dismissed the third night of the Democratic National Convention as being "really quite pathetic" and accused former President Barack Obama, after his blistering rebuke of Trump, of being "bitter" and jealous about his successor's achievements.

"President Obama was probably the most failed president of my lifetime," Giuliani, also a former New York City mayor, said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "He left world affairs in horrible disorder."

He added that the Iran nuclear deal included Obama giving "over a billion dollars, much of it in cash," to the Middle Eastern country, and said the former president's policies left European countries taking advantage of the United States. 

"We had trade deals and the one with China almost was corrupt," said Giuliani. "I mean, if it wasn't negotiated corruptly, it looked like it. So, can I see why President Obama is so bitter about President Trump. In 3 1/2 years, President Trump accomplished way more than President Obama accomplished in 8."

Giuliani also claimed that even though Obama was the first Black president, "he did nothing for the Black community," while Trump got wages up and unemployment down, as he did with the Hispanic community. 

"So here we have a president that's elected because it's historic to have the first Black president," said Giuliani. "He fails his community, had a dismal record in terms of doing nothing for them. And this other man comes along who he mocks and makes fun of who does probably has the best record with regard to performance for the Black community than any president in our memory."

Giuliani also complained that Democrats are not addressing the chaos that is happening in many American cities because "the worst of it is taking place in purely Democratic cities ... we need a change in leadership, a change in policy. These things are happening in these cities because the Democrats have pro-criminal, anti-police policies. The reason it's happening is not Donald Trump."
