Social media was not amused, with at least one X user making an ironic reference to the president's former running mate: 'Obama would know about changing diapers. He does for Joe.'
Obama then pointed out that the number of immigrants was 'basically the same' at the beginning and end of Trump's term. The ex-president also called attention to the recent hurricanes, remarking that Asheville, North Carolina, 'one of my favorite places in the country,' was 'devastated' by Helene.
