This reads like an obvious ploy to soften the idea to his base. They hate Obama too, probably because Trump does.
What other opponent would ire them more? Also, if someone like Obama was on-board, it would be more of a challenge to the rule against it from both sides. Democrats rally behind Obama, Voting machine hackers behind Trump.
Is like a pretext to calling Obama a chicken for not doing it down the road.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but you can just redirect traffic on your local LAN with an ad blocker like pihole ( I currently use adguardhome podman instance )
Basically, it rewrites any calls to your outside domain from within your local network, back to your local web server. As long as the site is setup with the certificate there, you’re good.
Then setup a nginx reverse proxy and you’re golden. Regular site outside LAN, internal site inside LAN.
Edit: spelling
