Former President Issues Stark Warning on U.S. Democracy
In June 2025, a former U.S. president broke his silence, warning of rising abuses of power and eroding democratic norms. Without naming names, his message clearly criticized Donald Trump’s divisive tactics and disregard for legal boundaries, while praising the courts for holding the line.
He also weighed in on concerns about President Biden’s age, defending Biden’s mental acuity in private but questioning the demands of leadership at 86. This came as leaked recordings from 2023 showed Biden struggling to recall key facts, fueling fresh scrutiny.
His message was clear: protect institutions, not personalities.
