President Barack Obama took a direct shot at his successor in a speech Friday, calling President Donald Trump a 'symptom' of a societal problem where powerful forces manufacture and capitalize on 'resentments.'  

Speaking to a crowd in Illinois but also to a national audience, Obama directed remarks even to those who might part with Democrats on immigration or other policy issues.

'You should still be concerned with our current course. You should still want to see a restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in our government,' the former president said.
