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.

    More like a shit candidate but decent President. He absolutely should have been a one term and allowed dems to run a proper primary. Of course, then the dems would shut out actual progressive candidates, but thatā€™s a whole other thing.
