President Obama to Donald Trump: ‘You’re a Loser’

Source: Time

Maya Rhodan @m_rhodan 4:47 PM ET


President Obama dinged Trump on his claims that the presidential election would be rigged against him, calling his statements the musings of a “loser” at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday.

“If in the middle of the game you’re spending all your time arguing with the refs,” Obama said Wednesday, “then you’re a loser and you shouldn’t win.”

Wednesday’s stop was one of many the president will make in the lead up to Election Day, with stops in Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina, planned for later this week. The president seemed to be attempting to agitate Trump in his most recent stop on the campaign trail, suggesting that Trump’s claims that he had a “big brain” were “contestable.”

The president continued to press issues surrounding Trump’s taxes, his statements against women, and the support he’s gotten from members of the Ku Klux Klan. “If you accept the support of Klan sympathizers,” Obama said of Trump, “then you’ll tolerate that support when you’re in office.”

Thank you for posting the link, DonViejo!

This first sentence jumped out at me.

President Obama is spending this week making the case for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, whose election he sees as holding the future of his legacy.


Doesn't every president want to preserve their legacy? The beauty here is that President Obama's legacy is potentially substantial and long lasting.

the people who were picked last because he sucks. He has the temperament of a spoiled High School jock whose parents bought him everything.
