Summary
Barack Obama sharply criticized Donald Trump’s presidency during a speech at Hamilton College, condemning attacks on the press, immigration crackdowns, and threats to civil liberties.
He called it “unimaginable” that Trump’s actions—such as barring the AP and threatening law firms—would have been tolerated under past presidents.
Obama warned that Trump’s behavior, though “goofy,” poses real danger, and he labeled Trump a “wannabe dictator.”
He also referenced former Trump aide John Kelly’s “fascist” remark and urged Americans not to mistake chaos for leadership.
That’s 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 doesn’t really excuse the shit he did.
