Former President Obama, in his first appearance on the 2020 virtual campaign trail with presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, promised that "help was on the way if we do the work," before tearing into President Donald Trump's "shambolic" approach to government.
At an online "grassroots fundraiser" streamed online which quickly became the campaign's highest-grossing event to date the former president recalled how various challenges he walked into when he took office, including the Great Recession and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, were made slightly less difficult because he knew that his predecessor, George W. Bush, "still had a basic regard for the rule of law and the importance of our institutions."
Trump, on the other hand, was practicing a "shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to government" that put in existential danger American values, Obama said.
"What we have seen over the last couple of years is a White House enabled by Republicans in Congress and a media structure that supports them that has not just differed in terms of policy but has gone at the very foundations of who we are and who we should be," Obama said.
