United States President Donald Trump is seething after a scathing attack on his time in the country's top spot by his predecessor Barack Obama.
Obama has assailed his successor as deeply unfit for the office he occupies and argued that voting for his former No.2, Joe Biden, was necessary to ensure the very survival of American democracy.
Obama has mostly avoided directly criticising Trump over the last four years, and his speech on night three of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), marked an unusually harsh assessment of one president by another.

His assertion that Trump, a Republican, is incapable of meeting the demands of the presidency echoed the remarks from his wife, Michelle Obama on Monday, that Trump "simply cannot be who we need him to be".
Biden was formally nominated this week to take on Trump in the November 3 presidential election, with US senator Kamala Harris his choice for vice-president.
