Former U.S. President Obama and former Vice President Harris recently issued stern criticisms of the current President Trump’s administration. Obama publicly called on citizens to pay the price for social justice, emphasizing that action is more important than verbal support. He also criticized the Trump administration's immigration and media policies, accusing them of going against fundamental American values. Harris mentioned that society is currently filled with fear and expressed concern over the White House pressuring law firms, highlighting the importance of courage and speaking out bravely. This indicates that the Democratic Party's concerns about Trump’s governance direction have become public.
The United States' "equivalent tariff" policy has impacted global stock markets. Recently, both the former president and vice president delivered remarks on the same day, criticizing the current president's administration. Not only that, but the former president also appealed to the American people, urging them to "make some sacrifices."
According to reports, the former president strongly condemned the current government's reshaping of the federal system in a public interview and criticized the oppression of immigration and media freedom. He sarcastically pointed out that if he had done something similar during his term, those who are silent now would have already risen up in opposition. Furthermore, he criticized the pressure the White House has exerted on law firms and universities, believing it contradicts the fundamental values and constitutional principles of the United States.
The former president admitted that despite many people calling themselves progressives and supporting social justice or freedom of speech, very few have paid a price for it. He stated, "Now mere verbal support is not enough; it may really require action, even some sacrifices."
At the same time, the vice president delivered a speech at the "Leadership Women Define Summit," expressing concerns about the former president's behavior and stating that American society is filled with fear in the current situation. Many organizations choose to remain silent, and some succumb to obvious political pressure, leading to a spreading sense of fear.
Against the backdrop of a tense political situation, the former president also claimed that a certain law firm would provide at least $100 million in legal services during his second term, raising questions about whether the government is applying pressure on specific firms. The vice president's husband also commented on this issue, stating, "The rule of law and democracy are under attack."
In conclusion, the vice president emphasized, "Fear is contagious, but so is courage," calling on the American people to hold onto their beliefs and speak out bravely. This is her most direct commentary on the former president's administration, indicating that concerns among Democratic leaders about the current direction of governance have entered a phase of public confrontation.
