Twitter and the rest of social media could not hide its excitement over former US President Barack Obama’s decision to volunteer at a food bank for Thanksgiving even as Donald Trump spent Wednesday playing golf in Florida, according to Newsweek.

On Tuesday, Obama made a surprise visit to a Chicago food bank in order to assist volunteers in preparing Thanksgiving food for people in need. The news first became public when the Greater Chicago Food Depository tweeted a video showing the former president helping volunteers to bag potatoes with a pair of latex gloves.
