Former US President Barack Obama has named incumbent American leader Donald Trump guilty of record high rates of coronavirus infection in the country. Writes about this TASS.
Obama made this statement during a speech in Florida at a rally in support of the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election, Joseph Biden. According to the former president, Trump is unable to take action even to defend himself.
As Obama said, Trump complained this week that he had to return to work due to the pandemic. “But if he had worked from the very beginning, things would have been much better now,” the former head of state said.
Earlier in his speech at a rally in support of Biden in Philadelphia, Obama noted that as a teenager, working in an ice cream shop, he may have paid more taxes than Trump. In addition, according to Obama, Trump will not be able to protect Americans from the pandemic, because he did not take the simplest measures to protect himself.
