"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said
Obama also weighed in on the 2016 presidential race, hinting heavily that he did not believe that Donald Trump was qualified to be president and is convinced the billionaire Republican front-runner would never reach the White House.
"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said, adding that he viewed the American people as too sensible to put someone like the former reality star in the White House

And I think they recognize that being president is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It's not promotion. It's not marketing. It's hard," Obama said at a news conference in California Tuesday.
The job of president, Obama said, requires working world leaders in a way that "gives people confidence that you know the facts, and you know their names, and you know where they are on a map, and you know something about their history." Trump has previously stumbled over questions about foreign policy.
"Whoever is standing where I'm standing now has the nuclear codes with them, and can order 21-year-olds into a firefight, and has to make sure that the banking system doesn't collapse," he said. "The American people are pretty sensible, and I think they'll make a sensible choice in the end."
Yeah, during primaries people vent, and they express themselves, and it seems like entertainment, and oftentimes it's reported just like entertainment. But as you get closer, reality has a way of intruding," he said.
