Trump is treating the presidency like a "reality show"- Obama

Former president Barack Obama has accused President Donald Trump of treating the presidency like a "reality show" and said the top Republican leader hasn't grown into the job because he can't."I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies," Obama said..Former President Obama said that he had hoped that Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously but he never did".

Addressing the virtual Demodratic convenion the former president said one expects a president to be the custodian of American democracy and one who, regardless of ego, ambition or political beliefs, will preserve, protect and defend the freedoms and ideals that so many Americans marched for, went to jail for, fought for and died for.For close to four years now, he's shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.Obama said the consequences of Trump's failure as President have been severe with more 170,000 Americans died due to the coronavirus and loss of millions of jobs while those at the top have raked in more wealth.

Obama said that both Biden and Harris have the experience needed to get things done and they have concrete policies that will turn their vision of a better, fairer, stronger country into reality.Joe and Kamala will restore our standing in the world and as we've learned from this pandemic, that matters. Joe knows the world, and the world knows him. He knows that our true strength comes from setting an example the world wants to follow.
