O: Trump unable to rise to the challenge

Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday accused President Trump of being an immature narcissist who runs the government like a “reality show,” resulting in additional coronavirus deaths.

Obama’s Trump-bashing speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention was delivered via live feed from Philadelphia with an exhibit on the US Constitution in the background.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), believe in “a fidelity to facts and science and logic, and not just making stuff up,” Obama said.

“They believe that no one, including the president, is above the law — that no public official, including the president, should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters.”

Obama said the Democratic ticket would not “use the men and women of our military — who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation — as political props to deploy against peaceful protesters.”

A Biden administration, he said, “will get this pandemic under control, like Joe did when he helped me manage H1N1,” he said, referring to the 2009 flu pandemic, which Trump has accused Obama and Biden of mismanaging.

“I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president,” Obama said. “I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously — that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care. But he never did.”

Trump reacted mid-speech as his predecessor accused him of being unfit for the job, tweeting, “HE SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT!”
