Donald Trump has joined his advisor Stephen Miller in attacking President Barack Obama -- painting Obama’s advocacy for voting rights as angry rantings.
First Miller criticized Obama on Fox and Friends, calling the president’s eulogy for John Lewis “totally disconnected from reality” and “scandalously, outrageously false.” Then Trump weighed in a few days later, saying Obama gave a “terrible speech” that “showed his anger” and proved that the 44th president has “lost control.”
It’s no wonder why Obama would be fed up with Trump and the GOP: they’ve blatantly embraced racist voter suppression laws as a way to steal the 2020 election.
But Trump is refusing to admit that Obama is right and that expanded voting rights are the best way to fix systemic inequality. Instead, Trump is insisting that “success will bring us together.” That sounds a lot like tax breaks for the rich while people of color suffer on the sidelines -- we’d much rather follow Obama’s lead, and are looking forward to hearing him speak at the Democratic convention next week. Trump is almost certain to attack Obama again, no matter what he says or does -- will you join us in standing with the 44th president?
