The ex-attorney’s stunning rebuke of his successor was echoed by Kamala as she embraced her historic role as the first black woman on a US national political ticket.
Obama – who broke barriers himself as America’s first black president – pleaded with voters to ’embrace your own responsibility as citizens – to make sure that the basic tenets of our democracy endure’.
Speaking from the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, he said: ‘Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job, because he can’t.
‘I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies.

Throughout their convention, the Democrats have summoned a collective urgency about the dangers of Trump as president.
