Obama takes action against the decision to Trump on prohibition of entry in the US
Obama breaks the tradition that involves abstaining from criticism by the outgoing president to his successor. Barack
Obama, the US president for two terms, has openly criticized the
incumbent president, Trump, for the prohibition of entry in the United
States for seven countries belonging to the Muslim religion, mentioned
as a possible origin of terrorists. Compounding
the situation, there were also the Trump statements will facilitate, in
the future, the entry in the United States belonging to the Christian
religion. This
measure has caused great inconvenience in airports to citizens of those
countries, even though they were not terrorists and already collaborate
with the US administration, as taught in the universities, Army
interpreters and other high value-added jobs. The
protests that have occurred in American streets have immediately,
sanctioned the great opposition to the measure by a large percentage of
the US company, which sharpens the mind deep political split in the
country, caused by an unfair electoral system, which allowed Trump
to hold the highest office in the state, despite having received nearly
three million votes less of attacking the White House, Hillary Clinton.
The
taking of Obama's position is not, however, a surprise, given that the
former president had publicly stated they want to intervene in the
political debate if there had been an injury to the fundamental rights,
have always been present in American democracy. In
fact the statement of Obama has a double meaning, because in addition
to highlighting the violation of the principles and fundamental rights
of Americans, it also has a meaning far more politically relevant, since
it is detached, not only ideally, at the side of the protesters, but it
It
urges them to continue the protest and also to grow in number, making
it a great leader of the objection to the measure of Trump. It
is impossible to miss in this intention almost a project to fill the
void of the Democratic Party, still struggling with the defeat of
Clinton, from which there seems to have recovered. The
spontaneity of the protests, which are ideal continuation of
demonstrations against Trump, already started during the campaign, it
does not seem to have yet, in fact, a structural political project,
capable of countering the action of the new President, beyond the
protests. There
is, indeed, a sort of network of mayors of US cities, very important,
who have already announced their intention to disobey the orders of the
White House on refugees, but that feeling seems to have been born
without the necessary coordination that will be needed to oppose the central government action. Obama
certainly can not take the reins of the protest, but can represent a
sort of guardian, to address the events towards the protection of
rights. It
is a very delicate subject and heard, both in American public opinion,
which on one side of the Republican Party, and that is causing several
protests in diplomatic circles, bringing the presidency Trump towards a
sort of international isolation. In
addition to Obama's intervention value, the most important political
factor is the presence of a clash going on between Trump and consistent
part of American society, which looks set to worsen more and become more
deeply rooted in the country, with the consequence, predictably, to create strong social tensions and to alter the internal balance of the country. The
United States, seem to meet, to socially dangerous situations never
felt at home, well beyond the tensions coming, for example, from the
black community. At
this stage, more than ideas, albeit extreme, of President Trump, it
seems more dangerous his total political inexperience, his impetuosity
and character of a character totally unsuited to playing a role of such
importance. Trump
moves without any caution and without any filter, completely surrounded
by an assertive apparatus and unable to contradict: a political product
of the worst degeneration of deep America, without any visual that is
not the very short period, accompanied by gestures and measures easy to hold and use and consumption of an electorate that can not represent the American sentiment. Certainly
Clinton started from very negative circumstances, but would not bring
the US to this situation already dangerous after just a few days in
office.
