Barack Obama appeared to get a dig in at Donald Trump for the third time this week in a sniping Fourth of July message to America.
After the 44th president ripped into his successor’s signature ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ on Thursday, he spent his holiday suggesting that the U.S. is ‘under attack.’
‘Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens,’ he wrote to social media.
He then seemed to suggest that the United States under its current president was in deep trouble.
‘And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.’
Obama – who was last seen with Trump at the inauguration and before that, sharing a laugh at Jimmy Carter’s funeral – has hit out at his Republican rival more than once this week without ever naming him.
On Wednesday, the Democrat made a post opposing Trump’s massive spending bill, which was eventually passed and signed into law Friday afternoon.
