Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has gone on his self destruction tour of America the past few days. If you didn’t think he could offend more people, you were wrong. President Barack Obama has called him out even more forcefully than usual.
Even Republicans are uneasy after his reprehensible comments to the Khan military family.
Multiple GOP leaders have come out to denounce Trump as usual. But this leaves them in a precarious position. GOP leaders have yet to revoke their endorsements. They risk not only losing an election, but losing their credibility.
Obama’s Comments
Obama realizes this conundrum they’re in and commented, saying:
“There has to be a point in which you say this is not somebody I can support for President of the United States, even if he purports to be a member of my party. The fact that, that has not yet happened makes some of these denunciations ring hollow.”
These comments are not just one off speech bits. Trump has proved time and time again that this way of speaking is his game. Many commentators believed that he would shift his tune once the general election cycle began. Instead, Trump proves time and time again he is only appealing to a small vocal minority.
Obama realizes that in order to be a leader for not only the United States, but the world, there needs to be major personal responsibility. Regarding his leadership, he stated:
“There has to come a point at which you say somebody who makes those kinds of statements doesn’t have the judgement, the temperament, the understanding to occupy the most powerful position in the world.”
Coming from a rational place of discourse, Obama realizes that there will be vehement disagreements along party lines. Though in no case has the president ever felt that one of his opponents was ever this unfit to be president, until now.
