During a recent event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, former first lady Michelle Obama criticized former President Donald Trump for his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. Obama highlighted that her husband had left a detailed pandemic plan for Trump, which he allegedly ignored. She pointed out that Trump lacked the ability to effectively address the crisis, restore lost jobs, and ensure the safe return of students to schools.
Obama also praised Vice President Kamala Harris, with whom she was campaigning, and contrasted the expectations placed on Harris versus Trump. She noted that Harris is expected to demonstrate intelligence, articulateness, clear policies, and emotional control, while Trump is often given a pass for his lack of policy understanding, incoherent arguments, dishonesty, lack of decency, and moral shortcomings.
Obama criticized the tendency of some individuals to dismiss Trump's behavior as mere personality quirks, stating that such excuses enable his childish and mean-spirited actions. She emphasized the importance of holding leaders accountable for their actions and decisions, regardless of their position or status.
