Former President Barack Obama lambasted President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops into Chicago, arguing that a president sending U.S. troops into American cities “against their own people” is “inherently corrupting.”
Obama, speaking to comedian Marc Maron on the final episode of his WTF podcast published Monday, also suggested that Republicans and right-wing media would have been outraged if he had similarly sent in troops to GOP-led states while they cheer on the current president.
