More than a decade ago, I sat down with @MarcMaron in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

In a recent podcast appearance on “WTF with Marc Maron,” former President Barack Obama launched yet another scathing attack on President Donald Trump (above), this time criticizing his deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to safeguard ICE agents amid violent disruptions during deportations. Obama decried the move as a dangerous politicization of the military, invoking the Posse Comitatus Act and warning that labeling “ordinary street crime” as an insurrection corrupts democratic norms. “When you have militaries that can direct force against their own people, that is inherently corrupting,” Obama stammered, painting Trump’s actions as an unprecedented threat to democracy.
This critique, however, ignores the reality on the ground: violent mobs blocking vehicles, wielding weapons, and assaulting federal officers in clear violation of federal law. As conservative commentators have pointed out, Trump’s use of the Guard falls squarely under the Insurrection Act, which empowers the president to enforce laws when local obstructions render judicial processes impossible. Historical precedents abound, from Eisenhower to Johnson, where presidents—often quelling Democrat-instigated unrest—deployed forces without such outcry.
Obama’s remarks fit a broader pattern of relentless attacks on Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, a campaign that has intensified since Trump’s 2024 reelection. Far from the “post-partisan” unifier he once claimed to be, Obama has emerged as a bitter partisan, using his platform to demonize Trump as an existential threat while conveniently overlooking his own administration’s failings. In September 2025, Obama accused the Trump administration of weaponizing “cancel culture” to dangerous levels, particularly amid controversies over media blackouts and threats to outlets critical of the White House. This swipe drew a sharp one-word rebuke—”Hypocrite”—from WNBA star Caitlin Clark, highlighting the irony of Obama lecturing on censorship given his own record of IRS targeting conservative groups and Fast and Furious scandals.

Obama’s selective outrage underscores a double standard that conservatives have long decried: when Trump signs MAGA hats for troops, media outlets bash it as improper, yet ignored Obama’s similar autograph sessions during his 2008 campaign. The attacks extend to MAGA supporters, whom Obama and his allies portray as divisive extremists. In a September 2025 statement, Obama called the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk “horrific” while blaming Trump for fueling national division, linking it to an “unprecedented political crisis.” This narrative conveniently sidesteps the violence inflicted on MAGA marchers, as seen in the 2020 assaults on Trump supporters in Washington, D.C., where peaceful demonstrators were harassed and attacked by left-wing agitators.
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld highlighted this hypocrisy, noting how media downplayed the brutality while amplifying anti-Trump rhetoric. Similarly, MSNBC host Alex Wagner claimed Trump’s “White patriarchy” backers are “terrified” of the “multicultural” future embodied by Obama and Kamala Harris, framing MAGA as a reactionary force against progress Such smears echo the Washington Post’s 2019 attack on the MAGA hat itself, likening it to a “Confederate flag” symbolizing “acid hatred.” Obama’s barbs often reveal his own vulnerabilities. In July 2025, legacy media largely ignored Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell accusations that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to justify endless wars and domestic surveillance.

This silence contrasts sharply with the relentless scrutiny Trump faced over Russia collusion hoaxes peddled by Obama’s intelligence apparatus. Even Politico reporters, tasked with impartiality, have been exposed for anti-Trump bias, with one journalist’s resurfaced posts labeling MAGA voters as “deplorable” and Trump a “fascist. Obama’s allies in the “Obama bros” podcast circuit balked at far-left claims that Texans “deserved” Hurricane Beryl’s devastation for supporting Trump, but such sentiments reflect the toxic division Obama himself exacerbates. Central to Obama’s recent fusillade is Trump’s rhetoric on the “enemy from within,” which Obama mischaracterizes as a call to militarize against political opponents. Trump has repeatedly clarified that this refers to “radical left lunatics” engaging in election interference and domestic sabotage, more dangerous than foreign threats like China or Russia.
He suggested the National Guard could handle such “sick people” if they disrupt national stability, particularly around elections The Washington Examiner reported Trump’s concerns about post-election protests by the radical left, framing the Guard as a protective measure against chaos. Breitbart echoed this, quoting Trump on the need to address internal threats decisively. Obama’s hypocrisy shines through when considering his own history. During his presidency, federal forces were deployed in Ferguson and Baltimore amid riots, yet no comparable outcry arose from Democrats. Trump’s critics, including Obama, ignore how Biden’s inauguration saw 25,000 Guard troops in D.C., a show of force against perceived MAGA threats.

Moreover, Trump’s “enemy from within” label has been applied to figures like Rep. Adam Schiff, whom he called a “sleazebag” and threat, prompting Schiff to whine that Trump wants to use the military against him. In a Lex Fridman podcast, Trump reiterated that internal radicals pose the real danger, vowing to “fight back.” This brings us to the crux: why Trump must have justice served to him. From a conservative standpoint, justice for Trump means vindication against years of baseless attacks, lawfare, and character assassination orchestrated by Obama-era holdovers and deep-state actors. Trump has endured two impeachments, endless investigations, and assassination attempts fueled by rhetoric branding him a “public enemy.”
Experts note that such “enemy from within” smears from Democrats heighten risks to Trump, making him more vulnerable than other ex-presidents. Justice demands accountability for those who spied on his 2016 campaign, fabricated the Russia dossier, and weaponized agencies against him—many tied to Obama’s administration. As Trump pushes forward with reforms, including draining the swamp, conservatives argue that exposing these injustices is essential to restoring faith in institutions. Obama’s continued sniping only underscores his fear of Trump’s success in dismantling the progressive legacy.
Trump’s resilience amid these assaults has galvanized MAGA, turning Obama’s criticisms into rallying cries. From calling out internal enemies to deploying the Guard against real threats, Trump’s actions prioritize American security over political correctness. Obama’s inarticulate rants, as seen in his Maron interview, reveal a man out of touch, clinging to relevance by bashing the leader who exposed his failures. Justice for Trump isn’t revenge—it’s rectification, ensuring that no future president endures such partisan sabotage. As the 2026 midterms approach, Obama’s attacks may backfire, fueling a red wave that cements Trump’s
