President Donald Trump accused former President Barrack Obama of being grossly incompetent following Obama's comment about how the present administration responds to the pandemic, according to a recently published article.

Former President Barrack Obama's Comment About How Trump's Administration Handle the Pandemic

It is very rare in the political history in the United States of America where a Predecessor gives comments and criticism to his successor. It is to show respect and a chance for his successor to prove what do better if not the best.

However, the pandemic has broken this tradition in the country as former Pres. Barrack Obama gave an indirect comment about how Trump's administration handle the pandemic in a video he released when he gave a speech to the graduating students.

Obama said: "More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing. A lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge." His speech came in the wake of the pandemic that killed almost 80,000 at that time where most of them are coming from the communities of colors according to a report.

The speech he delivered online was intended for the historically black colleges and universities on Saturday. In the virtual speech, he also said online: "Doing what feels good, what's convenient, what's easy - that's how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups, including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way - which is why things are so screwed up."

Obama seems not satisfied with the response of the present administration for two things. First, the disproportionate impact of the pandemic that hit hard people from the community of different colors, and second is its economic impact that leads to millions of unemployment.

Obama also asserted in an article: "Let's be honest, a disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. We see it in the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on our communities."

President Trump Accused Former President Obama of Being Grossly Incompetent Following the Virtual Speech

President Donald Trump responded to the indirect criticism of the former president. Trump accused Obama of being grossly incompetent during his time of office in the country.

Trump said mentioned he hasn't seen the video about Obama's comment but he said: "Look, he was an incompetent president, that's all I can say. Grossly incompetent."

Moreover, Trump said on Sunday: "So I think we had a great weekend. We did a lot of terrific meetings. Tremendous progress is being made on many fronts, including coming up with a cure for this horrible plague that has beset our country."

He also added: "It was a working weekend, it was a good weekend. A lot of very good things have happened."

Meanwhile, Peter Navarro, the White House Trade Adviser, also said in a separate interview that he was so "glad Mr. Obama has a new job as Joe Biden's press secretary." Biden was the former vice-president of Obama and is now running for President against Trump.
