President Obama Takes on Trump
By: Morgan T. Smith
Summary: President Obama criticized Trump proclaiming that being a president is tougher than being on a reality show and the American people are too "sensible" to elect him as the Republican Presidential nominee.
"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said at a news conference in California after a meeting with southeast Asian leaders. "And the reason is that I have a lot of faith in the American people. Being president is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show, or a reality show."
Also, "It's not promotion, it's not marketing. It's hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right."
President Obama also criticized Republican runners Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. He also was sympathetic to Hillary Clinton as she faces a tough challenge, Bernie Sanders, who has so many Democratic supporters. But Obama specifically gave trump the most critique.
Obama also appeared to raise the question of whether Trump was prepared to be commander-in-chief.
"Whoever's
standing where I'm standing right now has the nuclear codes with them,
and can order 21-year-olds into a firefight, and has to make sure that
the banking system doesn't collapse, and is often responsible for not
just the United States of America, but 20 other countries that are
having big problems, or are falling apart and are gonna be looking for
us to something."
He also added: "The American people are pretty sensible, and I think they'll make a sensible choice in the end."
I really hope so, Mr. President. Even after his show's over with, Trump still seem to give off the persona of living life as the host of his own TV show.
