Obama urges Americans to 'possibly sacrifice' in resisting Trump policies
2025-04-05
[FoxNews] Former President Barack Obama says President Donald Trump's behavior is 'contrary to the basic compact we have as Americans'

Former President Barack Obama told a crowd Thursday night that some sacrifice might be necessary in order to resist President Donald Trump's policies.
This is the man who gave us 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, which gave us President Trump in 2017. And then he gave us the Biden-Harris administration, which gave us President Trump in 2025. By his own standards, former President Barack Obama is an abject failure.
Obama spoke at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, on Thursday and accused the Trump administration of trying to destroy the post-World War II international order, according to the Washington Post.

During the speech, Obama called Trump's behavior "contrary to the basic compact we have as Americans" and called on students to do more in order to resist Trump's policies.
“Let’s you and him fight. I got mine, so who cares if you ruin your life.”
"It has been easy during most of our lifetimes to say you are a progressive, or say you are for social justice, or say you are for free speech, and not have to pay a price for it…And now we’re in one of those moments when…it’s not enough just to say you’re for something. You may actually have to do something and possibly sacrifice a little bit," Obama said.
“Girls love a jailbird, donchaknow, and by the time you get out OrangeManBad will be out of office — think of all the Teslas you won’t have to key.”
