Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are scheduled to hold separate events this week where they will warn of the danger of “disinformation,” according to an Axios report Saturday. The two will reportedly highlight “rising threats from authoritarianism and disinformation — and how to combat them globally and at home.”
The Bush event will take place in Dallas on Wednesday and the Obama one is set for Thursday in New York.
No doubt, it is not a coincidence that both events will take place the day after former President Donald Trump is set to make a major announcement on Tuesday, presumably about his 2024 plans. You can also expect the January 6 Capitol Hill riot to be part of the discussion and how both Democrats and Never Trump Republicans keep insisting that unquestionably terrible event also means there’s some domestic MAGA threat throughout the country. (“Ultra-MAGA,” our current president is fond of saying.)
This is a discussion worth having. So are the ex-presidents who are choosing to discuss it—because both of their legacies are defined in large part by spreading disinformation.
