White House Trade Adviser Labels Obama ‘Joe Biden’s Press Secretary’

White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro is firing back at former President Barack Obama’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s leadership and response to the pandemic.

On Sunday, Navarro appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.

The White House official was asked about Obama’s recent remarks during his national commencement speeches on Saturday. Although he didn’t specifically name members of Trump’s administration, Stephanopoulos noted that the suggestion was clear.

“Well, I’m glad Mr. Obama has a new job as Joe Biden’s press secretary,” Navarro said.

“I note for the record that, in his speech that I read, there was no mention of manufacturing, no mention of China,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, his administration was a kumbaya of incompetence, in which we saw millions of manufacturing jobs go off to China.”

Navarro’s remarks follow Obama’s criticism of the Trump administration. Over the course of the last week, Obama has made multiple statements about Trump’s leadership. His first remarks were made public after a private phone call leaked.

During a conversation with members of his former administration, Obama deemed the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus an “absolutely chaotic disaster,” as previously reported on IJR
