Obama Gets Reality Check after Claiming ‘No One in New York Likes Trump’
By: Jason Walsh
May 1, 2024
 
Former president Barack Obama has claimed. Republican front-runner Donald Trump is unpopular in his native New York.

During an appearance on an episode of the ‘Smartless’ podcast in March, Obama falsely claimed that nobody in New York likes the former president.

“Look, uh, you watch Trump’s campaign, you, you watch his career, if, if, if you know anybody,” Obama said before Biden interjected: “He’s a huckster.”
 
“He comes from New York,” Obama continued.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

99% of headline writers should be taken out and shot.

That language in quotes, "No one in New York Likes Trump"?  It isn't in the actual article.  It's a paraphrase.  In quotes.
