Trump cancels the Obama portrait ceremony. He is trying to use Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as a wedge issue against Joe Biden. |
This is the latest controversy brewing between the former president and current one. Trump has called Obama an "incompetent president" after he heard the former call his COVID-19 pandemic response "an absolute chaotic disaster."
NBC News reports that Trump is not going to hold a ceremony at The White House.
Obama has stated that he's not interested in the event. He said he rather wait until Trump is out of office before the portrait is released.
For years, first term presidents have held ceremonies in the East Room to unveil the portraits of their immediate predecessors. Obama did so for George W. Bush in 2012.
This is unprecedented. And just like the White House Correspondents Dinner, Trump has cancelled many events that he perceives as an enemy. Trump had refused to go to the WHCD since he's became the president.
Trump has irritated Obama for years.
Obama warned Trump about the challenges he'll face once he took office. Trump ignored him. |
When the junk food media announced the United States had found and killed Osama bin Laden, it interrupted Celebrity Apprentice which Trump was hosting at the time.
Obama had strayed from criticizing Trump.
Trump's failure to take control of the coronavirus pandemic has finally forced Obama to speak out.
Although Obama didn't mention Trump by name, the remarks hit him where it hurts.
"More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing," Obama said during a virtual commencement address for 2020 graduates."A lot of them aren't pretending to be in charge."
Joe Biden has referred to Trump as "President Tweet" in a set of rebukes. Trump and his allies have started this distraction about unmasking. Now that Trump forced Bill Barr to drop the federal charges against Michael Flynn, the far-white is now calling Biden corrupt for Flynn's deliberate attempt to make Russian operatives aware of Obama's sanctions.
During Anderson Cooper's broadcast, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that Trump is morbidly obese.
When she was asked about Trump taking hydroxychloroquine, the House Speaker said that due to his age and weight, he would be putting his own life at risk for taking an unproven drug.
So far #PlumpTrump and #PresidentPlump have been trending on social media.
