Trump will not be the next president of the US, says Obama

United States, Washington: In some candid advice to Donald Trump, United States (US) President Barack Obama told the controversial Republican front-runner that being president is tougher than being on a reality show and the American people are too sensible to elect him.  Obama told reporters after the first ever US-ASEAN Summit in Sunnylands, California, “I continue to believe 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 recognise that being President is a serious job”.

President said, “It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It’s not promotion. It’s not marketing”. The 69-year-old billionaire real estate tycoon fired back, saying Obama was lucky that he did not run for office in 2012. “You’re lucky, I didn’t run last time when Romney ran because you would have been a one-term president,” Trump said at a campaign rally in South Carolina.

Trump also interpreted Obama’s prediction as praise after outlining his grievances against the Obama administration’s budgets, health care, immigration policies and response to ISIS. “He has done such a lousy job as President,” Trump retorted at a campaign event in Beaufort, South Carolina. “He’s set us back so far, that for him to say that actually is a great compliment.” During the press conference, Obama also criticised other Republican candidates.

He said he thinks foreign observers are troubled by some of the rhetoric that is taking place in these Republican primaries and Republican debates. “I don’t think it’s restricted, by the way, to Mr Trump. I find it interesting that everybody is focused on Trump, primarily just because he says in more interesting ways what the other candidates are saying, as well,” he noted. “He may up the ante in anti-Muslim sentiment, but if you look at what the other Republican candidates have said, that’s pretty troubling, too,” Obama said.
