President Donald Trump says that former President Barack Obama's eulogy at John Lewis' funeral — which at points was aimed at voting rights and the election — was 'terrible'
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that former President Barack Obama's eulogy at John Lewis' funeral -- which at points was aimed at voting rights and the election -- was"terrible," adding that"It showed his anger there that people don't see."

It showed his anger there that people don't see.
