On The View, the former Republican strategist and ardent Trump critic declared, "I love that Obama is leading his best life right now."

'He is content, earning money, producing films, and engaging in a variety of other activities. However, the United States of America is in danger.
'Our democratic values are in danger… But if we are all Americans, and we care about the democratic values that are under threat and under attack by Donald Trump, then we have a duty and a responsibility as citizens to do everything we can,' she stated.
Has Barack Obama done enough to push back against President Trump?
After former president Barack Obama warned Tuesday in rare public remarks that America was approaching "dangerously close" to autocracy under Trump's administration, the hosts were debating whether Obama has an "obligation" to resist Trump more forcefully.
Barack Obama stated during a speech at The Connecticut Forum, "I mean, if you follow regularly what is said by those who are in charge of the federal government right now, there is a weak commitment to…our understanding of how a
liberal democracy
is supposed to work."
Even though the two-term president campaigned with Kamala Harris and frequently attacked Trump on the campaign trail, with little success, Obama did not specifically name Trump on Tuesday, as has become his custom, which led some Democrats to complain that he isn't doing enough to oppose Trump's agenda.
Should former Presidents stay silent or speak out?
Navarro maintained that he and other presidents should return to the ring to challenge Trump, despite the other View hosts' belief that the president had already fulfilled his duties and should enjoy life as a private citizen.
She concluded that all living presidents, including Obama, should step up and say, "Look, we've done the job, and this guy is not doing the job well.'
Navarro clarified her point on Friday, that normally, former presidents would keep quiet and not criticize or attack the current president, especially in year one when it was the 'honeymoon period.'
But she stated they're not in a honeymoon phase. The situation is dire, and it's also a nightmare for Americans.

'All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.' Soon after announcing the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, Trump said he would deliver a national address at 10 p.m. ET from the White House, calling it a 'historic moment' for the US, Israel, and the world.'I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran.

US joins Israel, strikes Iran's three nuclear sites; Trump suggests Fordow is destroyed
Donald Trump In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump announced that the American military had struck three Iran's nuclear sites early Sunday morning local time. The air strikes targeted Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, facilities at the heart of Iran's uranium enrichment programme and marked a direct US entry into the war between Israel and Iran. 'All planes are now outside of Iran air space,' Trump said on Truth Social. 'A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!' The president is expected to address the nation at 10pm ET. The strikes signal a historic and risky US intervention in support of Israel's goal to dismantle Iran's nuclear programme. Trump's decision reverses his earlier stance on avoiding costly foreign wars and opens the door to potential retaliation from Iran against US forces across the region. Here are the top developments: Targeted sites: The attacks focused on Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facilities. Trump claimed success in striking all three locations — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — with a full payload dropped on Fordow, considered Iran's most secure enrichment site. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo US used B-2 stealth bombers: Senior Israeli officials confirmed to Axios that B-2 stealth bombers were used in the strike. These aircraft are capable of carrying 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs, which are seen as necessary to penetrate Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites. Coordination with Israel : Israel was informed in advance of the strikes, an Israeli official was quoted as saying to Axios. The attack took place on the ninth day of Israel's offensive against Iran, which has included efforts to destroy Iranian air defences and missile systems. Tensions boil over: The air strikes come after more than a week of Israeli attacks on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory measures. Trump had earlier suggested diplomacy might still work, saying a decision would come 'in the next two weeks.' But by the weekend, preparations for a military strike had intensified. Shifting stance: Despite deep divides within his 'America First' support base, Trump has been clear in his position that 'Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.' He had recently expressed doubt over Israel's ability to destroy Fordow alone, saying, 'They can break through a little section, but they can't go down very deep.' Failed diplomacy: Behind the scenes, Trump had made a last attempt to avoid war. He considered sending a White House envoy or even attending a secret meeting himself in Istanbul, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan offering to mediate. However, the talks fell through when Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said to be in hiding due to assassination fears, could not be reached to approve the meeting.
