Obama will likely focus on fundraising and campaigning for other Democrats upon his return. However, many experts think Obama needs to be cautious with President Trump. Trump has frequently directed his fury against his predecessor on Twitter. Since leaving the White House in January, Obama has also spoken out against Trump and his policies on several occasions, including the travel ban in January, and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord in June.
