He no longer has a professional team around him helping with how he presents himself overall, and he also has to be much more cautious of backlash. When he was Prez, he could get away with much more in terms of what he said or how he said it. Today, the right isn't silent anymore and will illuminate anything he says that they don't like or think is flat out wrong, but the woke left will also do the same if not worse, so he has to be much more careful about what he says. It's much tougher to sound so professional when you're put on the spot without a speech or prep, and he's also partially suffering from, 'if you don't use it, you lose it', since he's been out of the game for a while now.

Have to agree with what he said here, no matter how he presented it. It's the context that matters most by far.

LOL I was not an Obama fan but a silent right is not how I remember his tenure. The rest of that sentence seems pretty accurate though.

I meant in comparison. Obviously there was opposition from the right during Obama's reign but compared to how active the right has become under Trump, it makes the fuss about Obama seem minimal. I guess you could look at Obama as a partial lead up as to why the right is so active now overall, among other things.
