Obama, Bush tackles Trump leadership

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush have voiced concern about the current political climate in the United States, in comments seen as a veiled rebuke of Donald Trump’s leadership.

Mr Obama urged Americans to reject the politics of division and fear, while Mr Bush criticised bullying and prejudice in public life.

They were speaking separately and none of them mentioned president trump by name.

Mr Trump, who has been critical of his two predecessors, is yet to comment.
