The former POTUS is clearly more popular than the current one!
Barack Obama's tweet following the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday has become the most "liked" in the history of Twitter. Obama shared a Nelson Mandela quote after the violence broke out, which killed three people.
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. - Nelson Mandela," the tweet read.
Donald Trump is getting MAJOR backlash for refusing to condemn white supremacists and saying that "both sides" are equally responsible for the incident, and a lot of people are saying his sentiments during his press conference at Trump Tower are the beginning of the end of his presidency.
"What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, the alt-right, do they have any semblance of guilt? What about the fact that they have charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs. Do they have any problem? I think they do. So as far as I’m concerned that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished, fake news," he told reporters.
"I watched those much more closely than you people watched it, and you had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say that right now. You had a group on one side that came charging in, without a permit, and they were very, very violent," he added.
And to think qualified, measured Hillary Clinton could be running the country right now...
