Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump's statements about paracetamol and autism, calling them "a violence against the truth."

Obama emphasized that Trump's claims about paracetamol, which could affect pregnant women, are false and harmful, considering they have been repeatedly disproven. He highlighted a "struggle" between progressive and populist visions of America, criticizing both Trump and the progressives who have become "haughty." In the current political context, Obama has begun to intervene more frequently, mentioning the impact of societal polarization due to political visions.
