Barack Obama slammed Donald Trump Tuesday arguing that “the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.”
During a press conference at the White House, Obama said, “Yes. I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.”
“I said so last week and he keeps on proving it,” Obama said, “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.”
“And this is not just my opinion. I think what’s been interesting is the repeated denunciations of his statements by leading Republicans, including the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader and prominent Republicans like John McCain,” Obama said, “And the question, I think, that they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him? What does this say about your party that this is your standard-bearer?”
