'Did no one attend his birthday as kid?': Obama mocks Trump's 'obsession' with big crowds

Former United States President Barack Obama on Saturday, October 31 took a jibe at Donald Trump over his "obsession with crowd sizes" during rallies. Obama, while campaigning for Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden in Michigan, said Trump cares more about his ego than he does about the COVID-19 pandemic. Asking "What is his obsession, by the way, with crowd size?" Obama went on to lambast Trump and said, "He still worries about his inauguration ceremony crowd being smaller than mine."

'He cares more about his ego'

“Did no one come to his birthday party when he was a kid? Was he traumatized?” Obama asked while ridiculing Trump and his obsession with crowd size. Obama then attacked the President and his administration for their "pathetic" COVID-19 response. He said that Trump cares more about feeding his ego than keeping the American people safe from the viral pandemic, adding "that's the difference between Joe Biden and a reality TV star".

Obama also said Trump is jealous of COVID's media coverage, "COVID, COVID, COVID, he is complaining".
