Obama: No way Trump becomes president
President Barack Obama took time during the Asian Leaders press conference in California on Wednesday to weigh in on the 2016 presidential election.
And as always, it was to take a cheap shot.
Specifically, Obama made the rather bold claim that Republican frontrunner Donald Trump will never be the leader of the United States, because he’s not a serious candidate.
If a win in New Hampshire and a commanding lead in national polls isn’t enough to get Obama to take a candidate seriously, it’s hard to know what is.
“I continue to believe that Mr. Trump will not be President. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people and I think they recognize that being president is a serious job,” Obama said.
He continued, “It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It’s not promotion. It’s not marketing. It’s hard, and a lot of people count on us getting it right.”
Confronted with the quote at a recent rally in South Carolina, Trump had what his supporters may consider a perfect response.
“You’re lucky I didn’t run last time, when Romney ran, because you’d have been a one-term president.”
