Barack Obama dubs Trump a 'crazy uncle' as he campaigns for Biden, Internet calls it a 'kind description'

Obama pledged that in Biden, people would not see a POTUS who goes out of his way to insult anybody who doesn't support him and even threatens to put them in jail, unlike Trump

Former president Barack Obama returned to the election campaign trail on Wednesday, October 21, where he critiqued President Donald Trump and called him a "crazy uncle".

''Can you imagine if I had had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for re-election? They would have called me Beijing Barry!'' the Democrat said at a drive-in-style event in Philadelphia. ''You'll be able to go about your lives knowing that the president is not going to retweet conspiracy theories, about secret cabals running the world, or that Navy Seals didn't actually kill Bin Laden. Think about that, the president of the United States retweeted that. Imagine. What? What?'' an aghast Obama asked. 

Obama also pledged that under the Presidentship of Joe Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, "we're not going to have a president who goes out of his way to insult anybody who doesn't support him or threaten them with the jail. That's not normal presidential behavior."

''We wouldn't tolerate it from a high school principal, we wouldn't tolerate it from a coach, we wouldn't tolerate it from a co-worker. We wouldn't tolerate it in our own family, except for maybe crazy uncle somewhere," Obama added.

As soon as the news made its way to social media, people started reacting to it, as one Internet user wrote, "RIGHTEOUS!... OBAMA da MAN! OBAMA is the ONLY President I would have voted for UNLIMITED term limits. ALWAYS GREAT and soothing to hear his voice. He needs to record a bedtime story that ALL of US could have and listen to every night. AAAAWWWHHHH #ObamaWasBetterAtEverything." Another proud supporter commented, "I could not be prouder of his words today and the honesty of those words. I bet it felt good to speak his mind without suppressing his thoughts or without reservations. I miss him and feel that with Biden, we get a piece of President Obama back.."

Showing his support for Obama was former president of basketball operations of the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson. He wrote, "Once again @BarackObama delivered a powerful and moving speech in PA. He articulates so well and discussed Joe Biden’s comprehensive plan for the American people. He is still the best speaker I’ve heard in my lifetime!! I’m glad I can still call him my friend." 

One user slammed Obama and said, "The corporate media constantly tells us that Barack Obama is the most popular politician in the world but he can't get 50 people to show up to listen to him? In Philadelphia? Two weeks before the election? What does that tell you?"

One slammed Trump and wrote, "'Crazy uncle' seems to be a MUCH MORE KIND description of Donald Trump than most of us could muster! And compared to Trump's descriptions of anyone he doesn't agree with... well, there IS NO SCALE THAT LARGE!" Stating Obama's statements as 'facts' another one wrote, "He said all the things we think and say at home, out loud, to the whole world. ALL FACTS!"
