A Former President Breaks His Silence
In a rare June 2025 interview, a former U.S. president issued a stark warning: “If you think being in charge puts you above the rules — that’s not the America I know.” He criticized today’s leaders for undermining institutions and turning politics into a performance, not a duty.
He never said Trump’s name outright, but his words were clear: “Throwing your weight around might win headlines, but not respect.” He also defended the role of the courts as democracy’s last safeguard, cautioning that attempts to ignore legal rulings threaten the nation’s foundations.
Turning to Biden, he offered sympathy but acknowledged the strain of age, especially after newly released 2023 audio raised questions about Biden’s cognitive health. “The only real question,” he said, “was whether anyone could do that job at 86.”
His closing message? Public service must be grounded in humility, not ego. “We need to protect the country — not the politicians.”
As America weighs the legacies of Trump and Biden, perhaps the most powerful voice is the one that’s seen it all — and is finally speaking out.
