What is Trump trying to achieve with 'Obamagate?' | The Atlanta Voice

What’s clear is that President Trump is attacking Obama with the goal of discrediting his opponent in 2020: Joe Biden.

Given the Trump administration’s chaotic response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Biden’s experience in the White House remains an enormous asset for the Democratic Party.

President Trump’s response is predictable — he’s going after Obama to undermine the foundation of Biden’s reputation.

By painting the Obama administration as corrupt and Nixonian, Trump may be trying to cast Biden as a new Spiro Agnew, Nixon’s vice president who resigned in 1973 due to a tax evasion scandal.

It is Trump’s attempt to rewrite the history of his predecessor and use that revisionism as a way to get the public to like Joe Biden a little less, since he has trouble convincing them to like him a lot more.
