Ex-President Obama claims he has such a patriotic duty to protect the populace from President Trump he’s doing so at the peril of losing his marriage.
In an interview with The New Yorker the former president says his wife is mad at him for paying more attention to Trump than to her.
“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”
At the beginning of Trump’s first term Obama stayed largely silent about his successor’s performance, maintaining a protocol that modern-day presidents have after their terms ended, according to Fox News.
“During Trump’s second administration, Obama has broken those norms, arguably becoming the current president’s most high-profile critic, a fact Obama acknowledged in his interview with The New Yorker,” Fox says.
But Obama claimed that Trump’s “recklessness” forced his hand, The New Yorker wrote, prompting him to weigh in on a wide swath of Trump’s actions from pulling the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords to dismantling Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement, the Affordable Care Act.
His opposition to Trump has spurred Obama to delve back into politics “more than I would have preferred,” he told the magazine.
“Obama’s revelation is not the first time he’s publicly addressed strife in his marriage,” Fox says. “In 2025, he admitted he had been ‘digging myself out of the hole I found myself in with Michelle,’ after she did not join him during the January funeral for former President Jimmy Carter or for Trump’s second inauguration.
A Newsmax anchor wondered aloud Wednesday whether what Obama is really up to is signaling a possible divorce and using Trump as his excuse.
Obama is a man of principle who has maintained his vows to his first, and only, wife, unlike Trump. His complaint is shared by many households
Obama has principles? The guy has zero principles, lies like a rug and hates the country. Now lets talk about Bill Clinton, the Kennedy, pedo Biden, etc. The democrats are as corrupt as they come. Heck lets try our own AG, he cheated on his wife just recently,
Barack Obama always wants to blame somebody else for his own failures .
He is a typical Democrat .
“ I caused the problem now let me fix it “ …..if it can’t be fixed it will be YOUR fault .
Our first black, closeted gay president is a walking parody.
Could it be that Bath House Barry has found a younger boy and wishes to ditch the older guy he has been shacked up with?
Obama is running hard and scared. The inner circle around Obama is getting crushed in a Florida grand jury. STAY TUNED!.He can say he was largely silent about his successor’s performance on the outside, but was pulling all the strings on the inside the Demo-rat’s regime .He’s the auto pen authorizer and chief. Is commander of the ongoing conspiracy to take out Trump and anyone working for Trump. Now the tied is going out. Obama is giving his dying scream as Comey, Clapper, Brennon are being sucked up in the halls of justice. They’ll all look so good in their orange jump suits.
Michelle has nothing but distain for America. That’s why she didn’t attend Carter’s funeral or the inauguration. As for Obama’s new activism, it’s like everything else he’s done in his phony career. He operates only from safe spaces, in friendly venues, with only fawning interviewers. He’s a complete and total fraud. The guy has had everything in his life handed to him, with no question or opposition, simply BECAUSE he’s “black”. And ignoring the fact that he’s not actually authentically an African American, and does not share their heritage of slavery, Jim Crow, etc. He’s half white, and was raised in the lap of privilege by his white mother and grandparents. His father was virtually a sperm donor he never knew.
You’d think he would have learned by his tin-eared foray into the last presidential election: no one cares what he thinks.
I’d pay for his flight back to Kenya if he promised not to return. He’s easily the most horrible president president this country has yet to experience. He makes Carter look good..
I guess that explains why he’s constantly butting in with his advice. He’s hoping “it” will divorce him. He must see how ghastly, and hideous “it” is like the rest of us……
