Former President Barack Obama expressed deep concern with some of the actions taken by President Donald Trump and his administration, particularly the threats against universities and students who exercise free speech and the targeting of law firms. Obama criticized the White House for punishing media outlets and taking aim at lawyers who represent ideas or parties they disagree with. He suggested that Republicans would be outraged if he had done similar things while in office. Obama emphasized the importance of American values and resilience in times of conflict and danger, urging people not to get discouraged amidst the tumultuous political climate. Former Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke out against the Trump administration, warning of the rollback of progress and the fear gripping the nation. She highlighted the importance of courage in the face of fear and unconstitutional threats. Both Obama and Harris conveyed a message of perseverance and staying true to American values during challenging times. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on their remarks.
