Obama swipes at Trump: 'This is not a reality show'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama warned on Friday that occupying the Oval Office “is not a reality show,” in a swipe at outspoken Republican candidate Donald Trump who is vying to replace him in the White House.

Fighting with Obama is a battle Trump will likely relish as he tries to rally support within his own party. During hard-fought Republican primary campaigns, the billionaire delighted in responding to attacks from rivals and found his support grow when he lashed out at his opponents.

Asked about Trump at a media briefing in the White House, Obama called on the press and public to weigh past statements by the Republican but did not point to any specific issues or remarks.

“This is not entertainment,” Obama said, a reference to Trump’s television background. “This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States,” he said. [L2N183181]

Some top Republican leaders - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan among them - are still expressing wariness about Trump, who became the party’s presumptive nominee this week when two Republican rivals dropped out of the White House race.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, who made an unsuccessful bid for president, joined a growing list of Republicans who are refusing to support Trump and he announced on Friday he will also skip the Republican convention in July.

It's never been reality for the Obama's, world tours, parties every week, and butt kissing media. His swelled head will implode when he doesn't matter to anyone...

From a president who has lost touch with reality ever since he became a dope-taking community organizer. #BLM believes that reality is whatever they hope it will be.

It stopped being reality and started being a clown show when Obama took office.

It’s a Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Both parties want to get rid of the protection afforded by having a President who is a natural born citizen, born here of citizen parents, solely a US citizen and nothing else.
No way would Madison, Jay, Washington, Jefferson, etc have considered a British subject like Obama to be eligible.

Serious is when the president goes on a show where the host eats Fruit Loops out of a bathtub.

It’s ALWAYS been a reality show. It’s the biggest reality show in the universe and the consequences are huge.
