You can’t even protect yourself – VG

No former president has ever attacked his successor at a national meeting like Barack Obama did tonight. No one has even come close, historian Michael Beschloss wrote on Twitter after the national gathering.

On Wednesday, just two weeks before the election, Obama launched into the electoral campaign of his former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. He did so by speaking to voters in the state of Pennsylvania.

– I’ve been sitting in the Oval Office with the two men who are running for president. They are very different people. I explained that I never expected Donald Trump to continue with my visions, but I hoped, for the good of the country, that he would show some interest in taking the job seriously. That has not happened, Obama told voters in Pennsylvania.

– Has shown no interest in doing the job or helping anyone but himself and his friends. Treat the presidential job like a reality show that you can use to get attention. Still, its television numbers are falling. You know that bothers him.

Criticism Corona

In addition, he points out that being president of the United States is not a reality show, but a reality.

– The rest of us have had to live with the consequences of him not being able to take work seriously. At least 220,000 Americans have died, more than 100,000 small American businesses have closed, millions of jobs have disappeared, our proud reputation around the world has weakened, Obama said.

– The only ones who are better now than four years ago are the billionaires who have received the Trump tax cuts. Right now, Trump is refusing to deliver the crisis package to the millions of families struggling to pay rent or have food on the table due to this pandemic.

Things are not fixed on Twitter

– I know this president has taken credit for the economy he inherited, but he is not taking responsibility for the pandemic that he ignored. You know what, work doesn’t work that way. Sending Twitter messages to television doesn’t fix things. Inventing things does not improve people’s lives. You have to have a plan and you have to get the job done.

He also sent a message that Trump himself was infected with the coronavirus.

– After eight months, we are again seeing an increasing number of cases of infection in the country. Donald Trump won’t suddenly protect everyone. You can’t even protect yourself.

– I have to be honest. This pandemic would be a challenge for any president, he says, adding:

– Other countries are still fighting the pandemic, but they are still not doing as badly as us because they have a government that has really kept up.

– I can’t afford four new years

Obama also highlighted the tax scandal revealed by the New York Times earlier this fall, in which it emerged that Trump paid $ 750 in federal income taxes in 2016. He also questioned whether the country has a president who shares conspiracy theories. On twitter.

– We can’t afford four new years with this.

The former president emphasizes that a president cannot solve all problems and that a president will make mistakes.

– Being president does not change who you are, it reveals who you are.

Michelle Obama has also come up with strong criticism of Trump in the election campaign:

– the reason I am here

Throughout the election campaign, President Trump has repeated that he would not be president if it weren’t for Obama.

– President Obama did not do a good job. The reason I’m here is President Obama and Joe Biden. If they had done a good job, I wouldn’t have been here, probably wouldn’t even have asked. “I would be very happy,” Trump said when he first heard the former president’s criticism in August.

– I really enjoyed my previous life. But they did such a bad job that I am here before you as president, he added.
