Obama begins a fierce attack on Trump – FAJAR –

FAJAR.CO.ID – The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, may have seen a threat that he saw as an attack on the values ​​adopted by the Americans. And the attack came from his successor, Donald Trump.

On leaving the White House in January 2017, Obama intends to follow the traditions of his predecessors by remaining silent and not commenting excessively on the successor's results. But with a note, that is, there is no broader threat to the values ​​adopted by the United States.

Recently, an article in the New York Times revealed that Barack Obama often seemed more emotional when he was talking about Trump.

The article, Once Reluctant to Speak, an energetic Obama now calls his successor, was written by Peter Baker, chief of the press correspondent for the White House. This seasoned journalist has covered four presidents during their service at the White House, namely George W. Bush, Clinton, Obama and Trump.

Baker badyzes Obama's scathing comments on Trump. There is the impression that Obama still does not believe that the presidential seat he has held for eight years is now controlled by Trump.

Over the past two years, Obama has seemed to personally keep his frustration with Trump, speaking only occasionally. However, recently, Obama has thrown his anger louder and more often.

He attacked his successor more brutally and systematically than the previous presidents in three quarters of a century.

In a fiery speech in Miami on Friday afternoon, before heading to Georgia for an already scheduled campaign, Obama dared to badume that even the Conservatives were troubled by Trump's treatment of the Constitution and moral values.

"I guess they recognize that a president can not decide for himself who is an American citizen and who is not," Obama said.

It refers to Trump's promise to sign a decree canceling the citizenship rights of children of illegal immigrants. Obama stressed that this is not how American democracy works.

Since he left his post, Obama remains a character enjoyed by many Americans, like many other former presidents. A CNN survey conducted this year revealed that 66% of respondents had a good opinion of Obama. This number is much more than those who support Trump's performance.

Eric Schultz, former senior adviser to Obama, said his intention was to provide a space for regeneration within the Democratic Party so as not to interfere in the "daily battles" of the past two years. However, too much is at stake.

Baker noted that one of the former presidents who had criticized his successor was Jimmy Carter. He became a formidable opponent of George W. Bush in his decision to invade Iraq. Carter called the Bush administration "the worst of history." [ald/rmol]
