QUESTION: Why Is Obama So Confident Trump Won’t Be President?
Obama seems to be very confident about not having Trump in the White House. Does he know something we don’t know?
President Barack Obama said during a Tuesday press conference that he doubts Donald Trump will succeed him in the White House because ‘I have a lot of faith in the American people, and I think they recognize that being president is a serious job.’
Trump fired back hours later in coastal South Carolina, telling an overflow crowd that Obama ‘has done such a bad job! He has set us back so far. And for him to say that actually is a great compliment.’
Obama told reporters in California that he would ‘leave it to you to speculate how this whole race is gonna go. I continue to believe that Mr. Trump will not be president.’
‘It’s not hosting a talk show, or a reality show, it’s not promotion, it’s not marketing – it’s hard,’ he said of the U.S. presidency. ‘And a lot of people count on us getting it right.’
‘And it’s not a matter of pandering and doing whatever will get you in the news on a given day.’
Obama assessed both the Democratic and Republican ends of the race in response to questions posed to him at a California press conference at the conclusion of the first-ever Association of Southeast Asian Nations conference on U.S. soil.
Trump was on stage in a Beaufort, South Carolina high school auditorium fielding questions from Van Hipp, a former chairman of the state GOP.
