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.

'The bully must now make peace': What Trump said after Iran strike; top quotes
Donald Trump's address US President Donald Trump addressed the nation late Saturday after what he described as a "spectacular military success," as American forces launched precision strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear infrastructure. The operation severely damaged three major nuclear sites located in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan -- core facilities of Iran's atomic program. The attack on Fordow, one of Iran's most secure underground nuclear facilities, reportedly involved six 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs. U.S.' B-2 Bombers Air-drop GBU-57 Bombs On Iran's Nuclear Facilities | Trump's Shock Announcement These powerful weapons can only be delivered by the US Air Force's B-2 stealth bombers, underscoring the high-level coordination and military capability deployed in the mission. Trump's speech followed more than a week of Israeli airstrikes aimed at weakening Iran's air defences and softening its nuclear capabilities -- a campaign that appears to have paved the way for the US-led strikes. Here's what Trump said in his address: "Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success." "The attacks were to stop Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and put a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror." "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror." "I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu." "We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done." "There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days." "Iran, bully of the Middle East, must now make peace." "For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to Israel, death to the US. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs." "So many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue." "I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done, and most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades..."
