Politics: ‘Grossly incompetent’: Trump dismisses Obama over coronavirus criticism
Without naming names, the former president had condemned leaders’ performance during the pandemic.
President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed his predecessor as “grossly incompetent,” a day after former President Barack Obama said leaders weren’t “even pretending to be in charge” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Asked about Obama’s comments, Trump first told a pool of reporters at the White House that administration officials “had a great weekend” during a working trip to Camp David.
“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 said.
When pressed further, Trump added: “Look, he was an incompetent president. That’s all I can say. Grossly incompetent.”
Since leaving office, Obama has largely avoided weighing in on politics or how his successor is doing. But recently, with the coronavirus outbreak taking a huge toll on the country, he has become more outspoken.

WNU Editor: I could be wrong, but I cannot help but sense that deep inside President Trump wants to run against former President Obama rather than the assumed Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden.
