10:24 pm
bamma left him obama left him unprepared and you had some pretty harsh words from president obama who never invoked the name trump in these graduation speeches that he gave but made it very clear that he felt that the trumpet ministration was doing a poor job telling kids that they should do the right thing essentially saying this administration was not doing it that echoes what obama has been saying in private meetings with other people some of which has leaked so this time it was trump firing back at obama but trump has been accusing obama of causing much of his problems for 3 years now john with the u.s. death toll oppression 90000 how does trump the seem to be handling the crisis by aside from the bonnet and by the general public. well it certainly hurt his property larry here in the u.s. there's about 37 percent of the u.s. population that seems to be in favor of trump no matter what happens but right now you've gotten roughly 90000 there are about 300000 deaths worldwide that means

almost one in 3 are here in the united states and when you compare it with places like north korea where the arc of the virus began at roughly the same time that they got it under control much quicker he has been rather heavily criticized here in the u.s. and that's one of the reasons many people believe that trump is deflecting to obama that he wants a diversion that takes the focus off of him and that's why you keep hearing him talk about obama gate this is a right wing conspiracy theory that suggests obama was trying to frame him with the russia investigation before his administration had ever begun john hendren thank you very much indeed. a regional somali governor and 3 bodyguards have been killed in a suicide attack claimed by the al shabaab group it took a ram to cock carrying the group before detonating an explosive in cairo and then would you agree to kind of affiliate was driven out 9 years ago still controls
