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.
Yes, the boring drone-striker-in-chief who’s crowning achievement was the half-measure ACA (notably a Republican plan). Were you folks just checked out during those 8 years or not alive yet?
This is all cult of personality bullshit.
It sounds like you were the one checked-out, I guess if news isn’t fed to you, you have no idea how to find out what happened.

His presidency did largely coincide with the timing of when drone strikes were starting to be possible to do.

Would it be better to have used soldiers or missiles for those attacks instead? If you had the choice between sending people to do that job and some of them dying, or sending expensive missiles and killing a bunch of extra people, what’s the downside of drones comparatively?
Really, the main downside of his presidency is that he did such a good job, it pissed off racist people.
You sure typed a lot to not refute one thing I said. Your only argument is, “Well, we HAD to kill those people somehow!” Very telling.
Who is “we”? I have nothing to do with the states.
And yes, those wars were indeed still gonna continue happening at that moment in time, no matter who got elected. And some of those words I typed were links you maybe didn’t click, cuz they very much do refute your points. And include how many wars he wound down and/or ended during his time.
