Liberals are constantly trying to frighten people into giving up their rights. They believe that if people think that the world is going to end, they’ll let the left increase taxes and create burdensome regulations. To keep people afraid, they’re constantly raising the alarm about a variety of different dangers.

According to reports, former President Barack Obama was recently paid $3.2 million to travel all the way to Italy and warn the world of a new danger: cow farts. He claimed that cows emit methane gas from their anus, a key contributor to global warming, and since they do, people should consider eating less meat. Ironically, in order to get there, he took a private jet and drove in a caravan of 15 SUVs.

During his speech at Seeds and Chips, a food innovation summit in Milan, Italy, Obama spent some time educating those in attendance about cow farts. “People aren’t as familiar with the impact of cows and methane,” he said, noting, “as people want to increase [their] meat consumption, that in turn, is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sector.” According to global warming activists, if greenhouse emissions get too high, life on earth will be destroyed.

Despite the alleged dangers of cow farts, he told audience members that he expects global meat consumption to continue to increase as other countries lift themselves out of poverty. “No matter what, we are going to see an increase in meat consumption just by virtue of more Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others moving into the middle-income territory,” he stated. This is because as countries get more wealthy, they’re able to afford eating more meat. “[But] that doesn’t mean we can’t teach [others] to have a smaller steak for our own health. That doesn’t mean we can’t make progress in educating the advanced world about the needs to reduce just for dietary reasons,” he reasoned.

Not only was Obama paid $3.2 million, he also stayed in a luxury hotel, costing $10,00 a night and spent time at the Borgo Finocchieto, a luxurious, 44-bed, $20,000-a-night retreat in Tuscany. On top of that, despite being in Italy to talk about global warming, the hypocrite had 14 not-so-eco-friendly SUVs escort him around the country. Between this and the fact that he flew in a private jet to get there, it probably would’ve been better for the planet, and everyone living on it, if he just stayed home.

What’s worse, this is not the first time that Obama was paid over a bunch of money to speak at an event since leaving office. Earlier this year, he agreed to accept a $400,00 paycheck from Wall Street for giving a speech. Just like Clintons, it appears he spent his time in office doing favors for people so he could get rich after.

Obama’s decision to accept the paycheck from Wall Street outraged many, including some top Democrats. One the liberals angered the most was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). During an interview on CNN, he claimed the former president’s conduct was “distasteful.” Specifically, he said, “[I’m] sorry President Obama made that choice…I just think it does not look good…I just think it is distasteful — not a good idea that he did that,” adding, “look, Barack Obama is a friend of mine, and I think he and his family represented us for eight years with dignity and intelligence. … But I think at a time when we have so much income and wealth inequality … I think it just does not look good.”

President Donald Trump should work with Sanders and others to pass legislation stopping politicians from getting rich after leaving office. Since Sanders believes that money from Wall Street is the primary reason the Democratic party is failing, this is something Sanders will likely get behind. If the Democratic party became a grassroots party, he’s convinced “voter turnout [will] swell.” However, If liberals continue to obstruct everything he tries to do, people will turn up to vote them out of office.

The best thing conservatives can do is just ignore the left’s alarmism. It’s clear they’re just trying to take our rights and money away. On top of that, Republicans should work to make it more difficult for people, typically liberals, to get rich like Obama is doing. President Trump should work with Congress to pass laws preventing this type of unethical behavior.
