Deadly COVID Envy

US President Donald Trump was given a full serving of shade Tuesday as former President Barack Obama accused him of being resentful over COVID-19 getting more media coverage than his orange excellency, even as the US death toll continues to climb.

Obama mocked Trump while campaigning at a Florida rally in support of his former vice president, current Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. “He’s jealous of COVID’s media coverage,” the former US president said of Trump to the crowd.

Obama scathed his successor’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, criticizing Trump for his personal disregard for safety and saying that he had turned the White House into a “hot zone” in the wake of outbreaks among his senior staff.
Trump was quick to rage-tweet, of course, instantly bashing Obama’s rally for having “no crowd.” If only the commander-in-chief could focus more of his attention on curbing the spread of COVID-19.
