Summary
Barack Obama sharply criticized Donald Trumpās presidency during a speech at Hamilton College, condemning attacks on the press, immigration crackdowns, and threats to civil liberties.
He called it āunimaginableā that Trumpās actionsāsuch as barring the AP and threatening law firmsāwould have been tolerated under past presidents.
Obama warned that Trumpās behavior, though āgoofy,ā poses real danger, and he labeled Trump a āwannabe dictator.ā
He also referenced former Trump aide John Kellyās āfascistā remark and urged Americans not to mistake chaos for leadership.
He campaigned explicitly on a platform of change and then proceeded to install a cast of deeply entrenched establishment figures to shore up the establishment at the expense of common people. Classic switcheroo.
Obama was also in a position of power to actually do something about the Russian influence on the 2016 election - and he did nothing.
Then helped get Biden elected which led to trump winning again.
And not getting prosecuted by DOJ thanks to the wonderful AG Garland
