“Well he’s a terrible president. He’ll probably go down as the worst president in the history of our country, he’s been a total disaster,” Trump told Sinclair Broadcast group in an interview on Tuesday.
“You look at what happens in the Middle East, in Syria and his line in the sand. I think it just means he’s concerned I’m going to win,” he claimed.
“Don’t forget last time he said I would never get the nomination, now he is saying I wouldn’t get the election now all of a sudden he said the other day maybe I can win the election, no I guess he probably has to say that kind of thing,” Trump said when asked about Obama’s statement on Tuesday.
Obama had strongly denounced Trump, saying he is unfit to serve as the 45th president of the US.
“I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president. I said so last week and he keeps on proving it,” Obama said on Tuesday.
Trump reiterated his stand and said he does not regret having criticised the parents of a slain Pakistani-origin American Muslim soldier Humayun Khan who was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004.
“I don’t regret anything. I said nice things about the son and I feel that very strongly but of course I was hit very hard from the stage and you know it’s just one of those things but no I don’t regret anything,” he said.
Trump’s own party leaders have come out openly against the Republican presidential nominee for being critical of family members of the soldier. He also did not had regret calling his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as a devil.
“No, I don’t think so, I think it is what it is. She’s a very deceitful person, she lies, she cheats, no I don’t think that’s too far at all,” he said. He maintained his belief that the upcoming presidential election is rigged.
“I’m talking about at the voter booth. I mean we’ve seen a lot of things over the years and now without the voter ID’s and all the things going on and some bad court cases have come down,” Trump said.
“I just hear things and I just feel it and I felt it having to do with the primaries. I looked at Bernie sanders I said ‘he isn t going to win.” “I thought this whole thing was rigged and I think the general election is gonna be, we’re gonna have a lot of problems we have to be very careful,” Trump said.
During the interview Trump refused to entertain the challenge posed to him by Warren Buffet on revealing his tax returns, saying he does not know Warren Buffet and has never met him.
Hollande says Trump’s excesses make his stomach turn
French President Francois Hollande has strongly criticised US presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying some of the things Trump does make him sick.
“Some excesses make your stomach turn, even in the United States, especially when as did Donald Trump he speaks ill of a soldier, of the memory of a soldier,” Hollande said according to three people present at a meeting on Tuesday with members of the French Presidential Press Association.
Hollande was referring to Trump’s recent comments about captain Humayun Khan, a US Muslim soldier killed in Iraq in 2004. In June, the French president said he would consider Trump’s election as dangerous and it would complicate relationships between Europe and the United States, in an interview with Les Echos newspaper.
