Former President Barack Obama reportedly told supporters last week that President Donald Trump’s racist attacks still have the power to shock. Obama reportedly said:“I don’t want a country in which the president of the United States is actively trying to promote anti-Asian sentiment and thinks it’s funny. Trump has repeatedly used the racist terms despite criticism, in one instance drawing big cheers from a campaign rally crowd. Obama rarely spoke out publicly against Trump during the first three years of his presidency, but in recent months he’s become more engaged in election-year politics. Trump has been far more vocal on his predecessor, often blaming his problems as president on Obama.
