Thanks, Obama! A former president speaking out against a sitting president underscores how objectively bad of a situation we are in.

Trump, who was running for president to keep from going to prison? He at no point acted like a former president, but as someone who was trying to take power back. It was the first refusal of peaceful transition in US history. The US is about to enter a self-made recession, at no point were we in close to as dire straights as we are now. We are isolated and weak now because people don't understand how the economy works and how global inflation works.
