Obama Takes Swipes at Trump and Offers to Be Earth’s Ambassador to Aliens

Former US President Barack Obama appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show to critique Donald Trump’s tenure. He argued that the standards for the presidency have “changed” and took aim at Trump’s use of power. In a light-hearted moment, Obama suggested he’d “make a good emissary for the planet” if extraterrestrials ever made contact, citing his diplomatic experience and drawing laughter from Colbert and the audience.

Obama also lamented the Republican Party’s turn toward “the worst impulses” and acknowledged backlash over the soaring costs of his Chicago presidential center.
