Speaking at a Biden-Harris campaign rally in Florida, Barack Obama ridiculed Donald Trump for being jealous of the media coverage that the coronavirus pandemic receives. 

"What's his closing argument? That people are too focused on Covid. He said this at one of his rallies. 'Covid. Covid Covid,' he's complaining. He's jealous of Covid's media coverage," the former president said.

He took the administration and Trump personally to task over the response to the pandemic that has now cost the lives of 226,000 Americans.

"You can't think of anything you might be doing differently?" Earlier, regarding the coronavirus response, Obama had mocked Trump with the line: "Tweeting at the TV doesn't fix things."

He urged voters to vote early.

"We can't be complacent. We were complacent last time… Look what happened … Not this time, not in this election," he said.

Obama's speech was covered live by all of the major news networks.

A reference to Trump's "secret Chinese bank account" and the fact he had paid more in taxes in China than the $750 he reportedly paid in the US, elicited a response from the president himself.

"Now Fox News is playing Obama's no crowd, fake speech for Biden, a man he could barely endorse because he couldn't believe he won. Also, I PREPAID many Millions of Dollars in Taxes," Trump tweeted.
