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.

    I feel like something where you have an age cutoff would be good though we shouldnā€™t have people that would be retired in any other position be hoarding the power from people that are younger.

    Maybe link it to social security? Not sure what the best method to do it would be considering that medical advances hopefully mean that people will live longer and healthier lives.
