  • Former President Barack Obama blasted current President Donald Trump in a rare public rebuke, calling out Trump's "shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to governance" and accusing him of dividing the country.
  • "What we have seen over the last couple of years is a White House enabled by Republicans in Congress and a media structure that supports them that has not just differed in terms of policy but has gone at the very foundations of who we are and who we should be," Obama said during the fundraiser.
  • Obama condemned Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and how the president downplayed the threat of COVID-19.
  • The former president said "help is on the way if we do the work," urging Americans to vote for Biden, saying there is no one he trusts more to "heal this country and get it back on track."
  • "We can't be complacent or smug or say it's so obvious this president hasn't done a good job," Obama said of Trump. "Look. He won once."

Former President Barack Obama slammed current President Donald Trump for his "shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to governance" and for labeling a "deadly disease" like COVID-19 as "fake news."

Obama spoke at a virtual grassroots fundraiser Tuesday with former Vice President Joe Biden in their first joint appearance for the Biden campaign. Obama formally endorsed his former vice president back in April following Sen. Bernie Sander's withdrawal from the 2020 presidential race.
