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.
Thatās because U.S. Presidents have p much all been warcrime committing bastards who have gleefully pillaged the global south to support their vile hegemony. Obama is a very nice warcrime committing bastard, an excellent orator, but it doesnāt really excuse the shit he did.
