In June 2025, a former U.S. president broke his silence, warning about rising abuse of power and the erosion
of democratic norms. Without naming names, his remarks clearly targeted Donald Trump, criticizing his divisive style
and disregard for legal limits. He praised the courts for resisting authoritarianism but warned that public trust is wearing thin.
He also addressed concerns about President Biden’s age, defending his mental sharpness in private but questioning whether
anyone can govern effectively at 86. This came just as recordings surfaced of Biden struggling to recall key
facts in a 2023 interview—fueling public concern and intra-party criticism.
The former president’s message was clear: America must protect its institutions, not politicians.
His words reflected a growing urgency to restore trust, unity, and responsible leadership
