Obama’s Visit With Canadian Prime Minister Ignites Fury on Right

David J. Freeman, a political commentator who is known as Gunther Eagleman on X and boasts over 1.6 million followers, wrote: “Obama sneaking into Canada for private meetings with globalist Carney? Bro thinks he’s still running the show. Sit down, Barack, Trump’s President. Barack Obama belongs in prison.”

Reports said that Obama was in Canada for a speaking engagement, but others note it stretches credulity to believe that was the former president’s only reason for being there. Others suggested the speech was cover for Obama huddling with Carney on ways to undermine Trump as the 47th president continues to press the northern US neighbor on issues of fair trade.

The Logan Act, enacted in 1799, bars private American citizens from conducting unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments that are involved in disputes with the United States, specifically when the individual seeks to influence that government’s position in the conflict. The law was inspired by George Logan, a Pennsylvania legislator who traveled to France and met with senior French officials in an attempt to ease tensions and improve relations between the two countries.
