Critics argue Trump's profane tirade shows he is jealous of Barack Obama

President Donald Trump erupted in a profane outburst at the G7 Summit in France when asked to compare his Iran agreement with former President Barack Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. While sitting beside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump claimed Obama bribed Iran with 1.7 billion in cash flown on a Boeing 757, falsely stating Iranians mocked Obama. He asserted his deal was superior, though he has refused to disclose its details publicly. Commentators, like political scientist and former diplomat Michael McFaul, highlighted that Obama's JCPOA prevented Iranian nuclear weapons without military conflict or massive spending.Veteran journalist John Harwood suggested, Trump is tormented by jealousy of a superior human being, adding, Obama's superiority, as a president and a person, hurts Trump especially badly because he's a huge racist and Obama is black.The incident sparked widespread criticism on social media regarding Trump's fitness for office and his erratic behavior on the global stage.Watch the video below.
