Obama Criticizes Trump's Response To Coronavirus Pandemic

Former President Barack Obama gave a college commencement address that criticized President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response.

Obama spoke to the class of 2020 for 74 historically black colleges and universities across the U.S. He said: “You’re being asked to find your way in the world in the middle of a devastating pandemic and terrible recession.” According to the HuffPost, he said the virus “spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities” face.

Without calling Trump out by his name, he said the pandemic showed that many people in charge don’t know what they’re doing.
