Barack Obama delivers scathing takedown of Donald Trump

Former President Barack Obama delivered a blistering account of his successor's first four years in office in Philadelphia, arguing that President Donald Trump has proved he is "incapable of taking the job seriously" and has shown no interest in "helping anybody but himself and his friends."
The event is Obama's first stump speech for his former vice president, a welcome sight to Democrats who see the former president as Joe Biden's most potent character witness and a key factor in encouraging Black men, Latinos and younger voters to turn out and vote.
Obama's speech represented his most direct attacks on Trump to date, with the former Democratic leader leveling both substantive critiques — like questioning Trump's tax policy and handling of the coronavirus pandemic — and personal barbs, jabbing at shrinking ratings for the President's speeches and town halls.
The remarks drilled down on years of Democratic concerns about the President, with Obama arguing Trump's presidency has not only changed the way other countries view the United States but remade the way Americans feel about politics.

    1. @George Arndt Putin loves what Trump is doing to America. That’s why they keep pushing for his election. That’s just a proven fact.

    2. @Baxter Powel I don’t think Joe Biden would retweet a conspiracy theory to the whole world smh we look so sad as a country and this the guy that yall praise

    1. @Allex G and you know this by… some fake news site? You need to be more creative than emails and laptop lol. But I guess Trumpees are dumber than dogs

    1. barry really dose know how to identify with women. That’s why in Chicago they refer to him as bathhouse barry.

    2. Inge Labounty I don’t speak for antifa. BLM are peaceful protestors. That’s where you and ppl who think like you are confused. You see looting and rioting during protests organized by BLM and equate the 2 together..

    3. Inge Labounty Your President has also lost a lot of supporters since you wanna talk about that.. making fun of Bidens family, in particular his son for having a drug problem when we are currently dealing with an opioid crisis overshadowed by covid. Being disrespectful to the military, women, having a Chinese bank account lmfao dude the list goes on and on. You can have the last word enjoy your night

    1. Well said James, laughed my head off. But that’s all the incompetent Trump can do. Well he is only competent enough to throw the french fries at the TV.

    2. @Roger C Trump started his speach in Erie by stating that he really didn’t want to have to be there, told a load of bullshit jokes, then cut his appearance short and left early..hmm 🤔?

  1. I love 2 things: that there are people honking their horns as applause, and that they know to stop to let him speak. Brilliant

    1. @ajipon You mean he stops himself from saying what he really believes about his audience, especially if they cling to their Bibles, take pride in what they build and are able to keep their doctors.

  2. This gives me so much of hope!! Hang in there folks don’t lose hope!! Peace,love and happiness to everybody!! God Bless America!!

    1. I’ve been so depressed since trump was elected now he’s trying to take my health care in the middle of a pandemic this has been the worst 4years of my life the anxiety is constant I voted for Hillary in 2016 I pray Biden wins I’ve already voted for Biden I pray we can get out of this nightmare!

      Your gonna need this, call ahead Nov 4th is gonna be the busiest.

  3. Meanwhile at the Trump rally:
    “Barely any water would come out of the shower. You had to flush your toilet 10 or 15 times. And don’t even get me started on the dishwashers…”

    1. @JONOVID they’re all brainwashed fools it is literally all Q cult members who can’t and don’t think for themselves

    2. @Dennis Moore that’s pennies compared to Trump. The day after Trump was elected he got 25 million from China. After all Barak did write a bestseller.

    1. @813 Flawda Baby Trump ran because of the damage from Obama. 🤤 He wasn’t a career politician. That’s why they hate him, and they have trained people like you to hate him.😴

    2. @813 Flawda Baby trump probably knew no matter what he did black voters and whites that pity blacks were gonna vote for him

    1. I voted Obama twice. I am voting against Biden and the DSA takeover of the DNC. The warmongering wing of the republic-crat uni-pary is endorsing Biden. A vote for Trump is a vote for peace and against the military-industrial complex.

    2. Obama drone-striked medicines sans frontiers. Making him the first Nobel peace prize winner to drone-strike another Nobel peace prize winner.

    3. @Agrarianismo Even the Clinton’s did some terrible things . To me Obama was a good president (not one of the best) , but in comparison to Trump he was a far better one. I cant see pass the things Trump have said in the past and got away with it. He is very insultive and love to belittle people . That’s no leadership for the president of America . Peace is not part of his vocab,l mean have you seen the level of racism since he went into office. Many lives that was taken with the covid could have been much less if he didnt keep down playing it . That’s one of big reason why he’s doing so poorly nationwide against Biden , and Biden isnt even a strong opponent.

    4. @Agrarianismo A vote for Trump is a vote for the end of democracy and the ownership of the common man by big business. Vote for Biden, you’ll be glad you did.

  4. Ok, I can’t be THE only one OBAMA is the freakin best president of the freakin united freaking STATES of AMERICA!!!

    1. @Corey l Obama did nothing he raise taxes raised our debt, made a trash healthcare and ruined our country people only voted for him because he’s black people only vote for Biden because they don’t like trump period, he can’t Barry speak and he lies to draw people like you in to vote for him

    2. Biden is a racist but y’all think he will solve the racial problems in this country when he didn’t want schools to intergrate he also called Obama the first black articulate man he said that he didn’t want his kids to go into a racial jungle

  5. This was.. honestly good to hear. Good on him for speaking, good on folks for listening, even more good for those of us voting to make a difference.

    1. Unlike Biden, but he will never be president. Obozo can give a speech but who really cares about that, dosent put food on the table. Trumps economy, foreign achievements , military etc.. is what everyone cares about. Who cares about good speeches.

    2. only with a teleprompter in front of him reminds me of Joe at the last gathering he had of maybe 30 people and a gigantic teleprompter in front of him so he would not get off script.

  6. God not hearing “huge” or “best” every other sentence is amazing. A coherent full sentence without every third word being a lie. We need to get back to this level of civility and education
