Trump hasn't grown into job because he can’t, says Obama

New York, August 20

In his most blistering attack on Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama has accused his successor of treating the presidency like a “reality show” and said the top Republican leader “hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t.” Obama, the country’s first Black president, spoke on the third night of the virtual Democratic National Convention on Wednesday just before Senator Kamala Harris of California became the first Black person to be formally nominated for vice-president by a major party.

Former vice president Joe Biden is already the Democratic presidential nominee.

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.

But he had some very harsh words for President Trump who is seeking re-election in the November 3 presidential polls. — PTI
