Former US President Barack Obama has described Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis as a "chaotic disaster". He made the comments during a private call with 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association - former members of his administration - a source said on Saturday.
In the 30-minute conversation, the former president said the response to the coronavirus outbreak served as a critical reminder for why strong government leadership is needed during a global crisis.
The call was meant to encourage his supporters to get behind Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who is trying to unseat Trump in the November 3 election.
