Let's face it, our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now. It's hard to know where to begin, because every day this White House offers people a new dose of lawlessness, recklessness, meanness, and just plain madness.
— Obama said, addressing supporters of Abigail Spanberger in Norfolk, Virginia.
The former president criticized Trump's "chaotic" tariff policy, the deployment of the National Guard in cities, and the inaction of Republicans in Congress, who, he said, do not restrain the president "even when they know he has crossed the line." Obama also expressed surprise at how quickly business leaders, law firms, and universities are willing to "bend the knee" to appease Trump.
