Obama unloaded on his successor, painting him as incompetent, selfish and full of himself.
“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 of Trump.
The former president, who spoke live from the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, also made the case for why voters should pick Biden this fall – even though “most of you have already made up your mind.”
Harris and Biden, Obama said, “understand that in this democracy, the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t use the men and women of our military, who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation, as political props to deploy against peaceful protesters on our own soil.”
Obama added: “This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win.”
Trump tweeted during Obama’s address, accusing him of taking a long time to endorse Biden.
