Obama says he is 'deeply concerned' with the Trump administration's targeting of students, journalists and law firms [View all]
(NBC News) Former President Barack Obama said he is "deeply concerned" with some of the actions that President Donald Trump and his administration have taken and seemed to call out the Republican Party for not pushing back on them.
Obama rebuked Trump without explicitly naming him over the federal government's threats against universities and students who exercise free speech, its targeting of law firms, and the new tariffs imposed on foreign countries.
"I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America, but that’s a specific policy," Obama said in his remarks at Hamilton College in New York. "I’m more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don’t give up students who are exercising their right to free speech," he said.
