Barack Obama, one of the most popular presidents in the history of the United States, is back on the political stage – and he is fighting with all his might against the autocratic-seeming politics of his successor, Donald Trump.
During his term of office from 2009 to 2017, Obama enjoyed worldwide respect and admiration for his vision of cooperation, democracy, and progress. Now, years after his departure from the White House, he is passionately committed to defending the core values of American democracy - especially in light of the threat he believes to be posed by Trump.
After remaining largely in the background during Trump's first term (2017-2021), Obama has now raised his voice. Particularly since the end of Joe Biden's presidency, he and his wife Michelle Obama have been actively supporting the Democratic Party. Obama is warning emphatically about the dangers that Trump's politics could pose to American democracy. In emotional speeches, he appeals to the voters to make the right decision for the future of the country.
