Read our privacy policy Barack Obama has described president Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic as "shambolic". "This would have been hard for anyone," Mr Obama told Late Show host Stephen Colbert, without directly naming Mr Trump. Earlier this month, one of America's top infectious disease experts, Dr Anthony Fauci, said Mr Trump hadn't attended a coronavirus task force meeting for "months". Mr Obama also said president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris's future administration would "pay attention" to the country and attempt to "do right by all people and not just some.”
