Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Former President of the United States Barack Obama call handling Corona virus by President Donald Trump as “a catastrophe with absolute chaos”. That, he said, happened because of the myopic mindset in the current government.
Quoted from AFP, in a leak of internet calls with former members of his government, on Friday (8/5) night, Obama said the mindset had dominated the Trump administration.
“What we fight for the long term is selfishness, ethnicity, division, and seeing others as enemies. That has become a stronger impetus in American life,” Obama told his former staff.
“That is part of the reason why the response to this global crisis (Covid-19) is so weak and irregular,” he added.
“That would be bad even with the best government. This has been a very chaotic disaster when our government applies that mindset, which is ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘what’s important to others,'” Obama said.
Quoted from AFPAs of Saturday (9/5), the United States became the country with the highest number of deaths due to Corona, which was 77,280 and almost 1.3 million positive cases. This was followed by Great Britain with 31,241 cases of death, Italy 30,201 deaths, Spain 26,478 cases and France 26,230 deaths.
Globally, the Corona Virus pandemic has killed 275,018 people worldwide. A total of 154,313 deaths, or 85 percent of them, occurred in Europe and the United States. Europe is also the continent with the most positive Covid-19 cases, which is 1,699,566 cases.
Some have criticized Trump for his dubious policies. For example, offering help for medical teams abroad while at home is still dealing with the needs of the team.
Critics also call Trump downplaying the threat posed by the virus, by not preparing test kits and other medical equipment before the Corona case is endemic in the US. USA
Not forgetting that Trump later wanted to immediately open his country to economic activity when Corona’s case was still high. Furthermore, he often blamed a laboratory in Wuhan, China, as the source of the Corona Virus, and called the virus “Chinese virus.”
The United States should hold presidential elections in 2020. Obama is known for supporting Joe Biden’s nomination and said he would be deeply involved in his campaign against incumbent Trump.
