You just totally avoided the factual record of JJ's post with a false "whatabout."
Actually Obama, a "'community organizer" who inherited a recession and fixed it, did not "blame Bush" for 8 years.
But Trump, who inherited a rising economy for which he daily takes credit, has blamed Obama every week for anything and everything, most recently for restricting of testing for pandemics in the US--a restriction which actually occurred under his own administration.
Biden and Sanders have called out Trump for being a "racist" because of his racist comments and policies. Just claiming Trump's racism is a "lie" doesn't make it so.
Best defense you can make of this behavior is to argue that you yourself don't think it's racist to single out brown immigrants from "shithole" countries for identification as rapists and thugs, and there really were good people on both sides, so that's why Trump is not racist.
Not a very good defense.
People are not "hypocrites" for pointing out that Trump has performed incompetently as president--never more so than in moments of crisis like the present. He is not "leader" in the sense that Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama were. He only leads a base of 38% and has never even reached a 50% approval rating.
