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.

      Don’t forget all the dipshits constantly gaslighting

      I’m still getting it. My retarded family thinks Trump is going to fix shit. I keep fucking telling them he’s the one breaking shit

      At what stage do I say “fuck you family, you helped give me this mess”

      Is it after I get deported? Put onto trains and into ovens?

      So many people have no fucking problem with Nazis.

      I hate people. I hate how stupid they all are.

      They’re all just so God damned dumb and my world would be better if they all just died

      FR it’s like nobody remembered anything that happened between 2016 and 2020, or that they thought an actual dictatorship wouldn’t be so bad.
