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.
not to me. Sure there are some great folks but the population is large and there are equally great folks out there. We need being a politician for a bit to be an accessible thing. We definitely need guardrails for quid pro quo but if guaranteed lifetime political is the solution its not a solution. Our system should work if everyone is one termer. Heck I would like every election to have a recall ballot were the electorate can vote to recall any position they vote for. If it cresta 50% of the electorate then the position goes up for election at the next election.
