Former President Barack Obama and ex-Vice President Kamala Harris issued strong criticisms of Donald Trump’s second term on Thursday. “Imagine if I had done any of this,” Obama said at Hamilton College, calling Trump’s actions “unimaginable” and warning of threats to free speech and legal independence. He condemned efforts to pressure law firms and universities. Harris, speaking at the Leading Women Defined Summit, said Trump’s presidency had created “a great sense of fear,” adding, “I’m not here to say I told you so.” She closed with hope: “Courage is also contagious,” urging resistance to growing political intimidation.
