Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president, spoke at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday evening (July 27), the day after Hillary Clinton made history of her own, becoming America’s first woman major-party nominee. And he delivered the pivotal speech we suspected he would.
His speech was one of support for Hillary but also warning the country of what it faces should Trump take office.
“The Donald is not really a plans guy. He’s not really a facts guy, either,” Obama said. “He calls himself a business guy, which is true, but I have to say, I’ve met many business men and women who’ve achieved remarkable success without leaving a trail of lawsuits and unpaid workers and people feeling like they got cheated.”
“I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump,” he said, saying later on that “the American Dream is something no wall will ever contain.” Watch the speech below.
