At a commencement address for historically black colleges and universities, Barack Obama issued what some might consider a fairly mild criticism of Trump’s pandemic response, all things considered -- with the former president saying, “More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing.”
