Barack Obama has said that Donald Trump is “incapable of taking the job seriously” when he targeted his successor during a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

With less than fifteen days to the closing of the ballots, Mr. Obama made his first campaign stop in person for his former vice president.

In a speech at a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a key state for both Republicans and Democrats, the former commander-in-chief spent much of his time criticizing his successor in the Oval Office.

He said: “Donald trump suddenly it’s not going to protect us all.

“You can’t even take the basic steps to protect yourself.”

The former president added: “America is a good and decent place, but we have just seen so much nonsense and noise that it is sometimes difficult to remember.”

He also said that President Trump was “incapable of taking the job seriously” and that he “wants all the credit for the economy that he inherited and not to blame for the pandemic that he ignored.”

“I ask you to remember what this country can be,” he said. “I ask that you believe in Joe’s ability and Kamala’s ability to bring this country out of these dark times and help us rebuild it better.”

He continued: “What we do these next 13 days will matter for decades to come.
