Summary

Barack Obama sharply criticized Donald Trumpā€™s presidency during a speech at Hamilton College, condemning attacks on the press, immigration crackdowns, and threats to civil liberties.

He called it ā€œunimaginableā€ that Trumpā€™s actionsā€”such as barring the AP and threatening law firmsā€”would have been tolerated under past presidents.

Obama warned that Trumpā€™s behavior, though ā€œgoofy,ā€ poses real danger, and he labeled Trump a ā€œwannabe dictator.ā€

He also referenced former Trump aide John Kellyā€™s ā€œfascistā€ remark and urged Americans not to mistake chaos for leadership.

    Would love to vote for this Obama guy if he has the chance to run again. Do it, Republicans. No balls.

      Thatā€™s the funny part: if Trump and the supreme court somehow finagle a new legal loophole for the constitution, then Obama will get elected.
