Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail, and he isn’t holding back. He hit Trump on the grift, the war, and the clowns he’s put in charge. Trump’s comeback was to lie about the crowd size. Trump was up late posting about it, then told his own rally that Obama spoke to an empty room. But the room was packed. Meanwhile Trump keeps booking smaller venues and still can’t fill them. Obama called out Trump’s weird priorities, the Secretary of War wasting his time on culture war fights eight months into a war, and the ad Vivek Ramaswamy is still defending. He also reminded voters he’s seen this movie before. He was the target when Trump made a name for himself demanding a birth certificate. It’s refreshing to hear a politician who can form complete sentences. But it’s also a good reminder that the dirty, divisive politics of today aren’t inevitable. The country made a choice to embrace Trump even after he showed his true colors, and we’ve suffered the consequences ever since. The good news is that we live in a democracy, and the country can still choose to reject him. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).
