www.thedailybeast.com
ā€œImagine if I had done any of this,ā€ the two-term former president said.

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.

      If you thought the country needed you and you thought you could really help our nation, is there even a one percent chance youā€™d consider running?

      ā€œJust between us, and the readers of this magazine ā€” thereā€™s zero chance,ā€ Mrs. Obama replied.

      Yeah, canā€™t say I am surprised. I mean, she saw what that did to her husband. Not sure how it looks from USA pov, but from outside, the man visually aged two decades during his cadency.
