In a podcast appearance, the former president said that where there was once “decorum,” there now “doesn’t seem to be any shame.”
Former President Barack Obama called the kind of rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his administration “a clown show” in a podcast interview that aired Saturday.
Obama was asked by YouTube podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen about the “de-evolution of the discourse” coming from Trump, JD Vance and others in their administration, including a racist video Trump posted online that depicted the former president and his wife, Michelle Obama, as apes.
Obama did not directly address the video, but discussed Trump’s actions, rhetoric and his administration’s mass deportation agenda.
“I think it’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama said, speaking broadly about the administration’s behavior for the first time since Trump reposted the video. “It is true that it gets attention. It’s true that it’s a distraction.”
Okay, but one time Obama wore a tan suit.
He committed multiple war and humanitarian crimes let’s not paint him as a saint.
Shit you’re right, might as well not vote.
Why is it so hard for everyone to grasp that a revolution is needed?
Still by far the best president of the 21st century, but that bar is very, very low.
Was just thinking this morning that Obama should have been impeached when Edward Snowden leaked that the US government was spying on us all.
Yet we didn’t do shit and people still act like Obama was awesome. But up until recently he killed more people then Trump and had locked up far more immigrants then Trump.
Besides the Conservative Healthcare plan he passed what exactly did he do that was so great? Oh yeah must of been when he bailed out all the banks instead of the American people who had gotten fucked by said banks.
Thanks Obama!
“Thanks” -Obama
