The most important thing that happened to the worst president ever today was a speech delivered by a man many consider to be one of the greatest presidents in the empire's history, Barack Obama.

This is how the USA Today describes the speech he delivered for an ethics award he received from the University of Illinois:

Former President Barack Obama on Friday launched a direct and blistering attack on President Donald Trump and Republicans and called on Americans to get to the ballot box in November to "restore some semblance of sanity to our politics."

At one point referencing the "crazy stuff coming out of this White House," Obama told students and others gathered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that even if they don't agree with Democrats on certain issues, they should still want to see a "restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in government."

Vox has seven of the speech's best moments. But basically, Obama called Trump a racist (“How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad?”), called the North Korean deal dumb (“Demagogues promise simple fixes to complex problems”), the GOP having fiscal double standards (“What happened to the Republican Party?”), and the situation we are in to terrible to believe (“I was intent on following a wise American tradition of ex-presidents gracefully exiting the political stage”). You can find the transcript at Vox.

Burt Reynolds, who became dead yesterday, voted for Trump when he was alive a little under two years ago. I have no idea how anyone (even with a 70s mustache) could do such a thing, vote for such a man. But for Reynolds, who was OK in Boogie Nights, it appeared to be a very tough decision: Trump or Hillary? Which it should be? Who would make world much worse? Let think hard on this.

This is how it went down:

He told Yahoo News’ Katie Couric that he liked both Hillary Clinton and Trump. “It was real close, but I voted for Trump,” Reynolds told the former NBC anchor. “I thought that he would grow with the job and get better. And I pray that I’m right. He’s done a couple of good things and he’s done a couple of bad things. We have to get rid of the bad things … he has to realize it’s not about ego.”

Good night, Reynolds.
