Just one week after Pres. Donald Trump’s whirlwind visit to the UK, former President Barack Obama took the stage in London — and didn’t hold back.
Without naming names, Obama criticized “leaders who confuse volume with vision,” adding, “Real leadership isn’t about dominating headlines — it’s about elevating people.”
The crowd erupted, clearly catching the reference.
Social media lit up with reactions, with one user tweeting: “Obama just read Trump without saying his name. That’s elite shade.”
Another posted: “Trump left London with noise. Obama brought the echo.”
The contrast couldn’t be clearer — and the internet is loving it.
