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.
Exactly. I just posted this in another threadā¦
He is setting tariffs on his own, a power designated solely to Congress by the Constitution.
He is having masked police kidnap people off the streets without warrants and shipping them to an overseas gulag without trial or even charges.
He is illegally refusing to distribute money allocated by Congress to certain states in order to punish them for not doing his bidding.
And when the courts have ordered him to stop doing the above, he has willfully ignored those court orders with no repercussions.
Exactly what more needs to happen for this to be a dictatorship?
These are just the things we know about. God knows else gets blocked internally, doesnāt hit the news or doesnāt pick up media traction.
