Hes making the claim that donald trump is unprepared to be president. President obamas general election argument, donald trump is unfit to run the united state, it military, and the foreign policy. I think the nominee is unfit to serve as president , i said so last week, and he keeps on proving it. Obama offered his latest warning, in response to a question, during a White House Press conference, with the Prime Minister of singapore. He then criticized trumps party, and those in it who continues supporting their nominee. The question i think that they have to ask themselves is if you are repeatedly having it say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him . Trump quickly responded siting weak economy growth, trump claims obama has performed poorly over his two terms. I think he is the worse president maybe in the history of our country. I think hes been a disaster. Hes been weak. Hes been ineffective. Look at the socalled are, recovery, setting record lows.
