Obama sends Trump 'best wishes' over coronavirus diagnosis: 'We’re all Americans'
Fox News ^ | October 3, 2020 | Brie Stimson

Former President Obama seemed to strive for a unifying tone Friday during a virtual fundraiser for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. He said he and former first lady Michelle Obama were sending their “best wishes” to President Trump as he undergoes treatment for the coronavirus.

“Although we’re in the midst of a big political fight, and we take that very seriously, we also want to extend our best wishes to the president of the United States, the first lady,” Obama said at the fundraiser that included vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris and actor Michael B. Jordan, according to ABC News.

The 44th president said he hoped Trump, first lady Melania Trump and everyone else affected by the virus have a “speedy recovery."

He wrote a similar sentiment on Twitter on Friday: "Let’s remember that we’re all Americans. We’re all human beings. And we want everyone to be healthy, no matter our party."

The whole world?

Funny how Obama couldn’t say that when he was President.

He was more gracious than Biden. FWIW.

"He was more gracious than Biden."

Yes, he was surprising gracious for being such a miserable person. But I just can't help thinking the "We're all Americans" was a dig at President Trump. Obama has made many such sly and not-so-sly references.

As of right now, George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter are the only presidents who HAVE NOT CONTACTED the Trumps since their COVID diagnosis.

The clip I saw, he didn’t even mention who these “best wishes” were being sent to.

Screw you Biden. You’re Chinese, as no American would suck up to them as badly as do you and your son Hunter (of prostitutes & drugs - who would be in a gutter if it weren’t for daddy).

“Let’s remember that we’re all Americans.”

One of the many responses to this dig is- if he would just say that to the thugs who publicly, while at work In their uniforms, with support of their bosses and audience, disrespect the flag, calling the foundation and intent of our country racist with no evidence, evidence to the contrary, he would bring this country together. But he doesn’t want to bring the country together.

This is a nasty sarcastic sentiment toward the man who challenged his citizenship when no one whose responsibility it was, would do that important task

“...Chinese, as no American would suck up to them as badly as do you...”

Perhaps. But the NBA and the NFL are doing a pretty good job

You’ll never convince me the POTUS wasn’t somehow infected deliberately....timing is WAY too convenient for the enemy.

Too bad for them 99% of people in the POTUS age group recover.
