The policies that President Trump recently enforced on immigration has created widespread debate and protests across the nation. Many popular figures have spoken, but none more so than former President Barack Obama.
Obama confirmed in his farewell address that he refused to remain silent on topics he felt strongly about and immigration being one of the topics the former president championed in his last days in office. He said on countless occasions that we cannot give into fear and create widespread hate across the nations against those of a particular race or religion affiliation.
Former President Barack Obama indicated that he is not going to just fade away or stay silent even though he’s no longer in the Oval Office. His office released a statement Monday praising anti-Trump protesters and saying that Obama “fundamentally disagrees” with Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees.
Do you think Obama should follow former presidents and remain silent on presidential policies? Could his criticism be seen as undermining President Trump in any way?
