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.

    You sure typed a lot to not refute one thing I said. Your only argument is, “Well, we HAD to kill those people somehow!” Very telling.

      Who is “we”? I have nothing to do with the states.

      And yes, those wars were indeed still gonna continue happening at that moment in time, no matter who got elected. And some of those words I typed were links you maybe didn’t click, cuz they very much do refute your points. And include how many wars he wound down and/or ended during his time.
