Obama: Trump ‘woefully unprepared to do this job’
This is not new information, but it’s notable that it’s being said by the president of the United States.
Click here for reuse options!“I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president,” Obama said, while speaking next to the Singaporean prime minister at a press conference. “I said so last week, and he keeps on proving it. The notion that he would attack a Gold Star family that had made such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our country, the fact that he doesn’t appear to have basic knowledge around critical issues in Europe, in the Middle East, in Asia, means that he’s woefully unprepared to do this job.”
Most of the coverage of Obama’s remarks focused on his hit on Trump. But his comments were primarily an appeal to top Republican leadership, which has tried to criticize Trump’s most offensive statements while also still supporting him over Hillary Clinton in the election.
That position, the president argued, is becoming increasingly impossible to hold.
“There has to come a point at which you say, ‘This is not somebody I support for president of the United States, even if he purports to be a member of my party,’” Obama said. “The fact that this has not happened makes these denunciations ring hollow.”

I think Maddow got all excited about something that’s been known since 1987 ( the taj mahal downfall ) it wasn’t fortune telling as she described,its more like cartooning as the trumpster goes along through the years. It’s good work by Garry though Funny stuff !

I think some of us knew he would possibly run to get his name in the news, but a large majority of us never would of believed he would actually become a candidate. Can you imagine this blowhard “working” for about $400,000 and the world knowing what he made?

Trump has been talking about running since the date above As far as making 400 K goes, as I said before The gop has no problem with the trumpster staying in charge of trump enterprise while / if he becomes president.

As usual, the majority of Americans and in fact the entire world, agrees with president Obama. The redneck racist hillbillies…not so much.
Nothing new here!

The Repulsive party might never recover from the one man wrecking crew Donald Rump. It does them no good to try and ignore the Rump cancer. Endorsing him is a disaster. Repulsives voting for Hillary is a disaster. Repulsives don’t seem to care but hasn’t that been the case for years now?

excellent point. If the repubs would simply walk away from the pig, chooose the alternative and then try to rebuild their party into something that has the semblance of a thing that cares for the american people from a different perspective. i.e. like maybe offer the people a viable choice between honest parties – either progressif or conservatif.

How candidates run their presidential campaign — including how they respond to stressful situations and crises, and who they select to operate various aspects of said campaign — is an early indicator and reflection of how they would behave and perform if ever elected as POTUS.
