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.

The last correct prediction I made was the Super Bowl a few years ago. I don’t see Trump being denied the nomination, although the chance of democrat party voter fraud in the general election is also as real as it gets. They are pros.
Says a commander in chief who threw out a first pitch while wearing mom jeans? This entire PRESIDENCY has been one giant reality show. The problem is, he doesn’t get it.
It’s also not a token position

Obama is a freak show.
Yes, for 7 1/2 years reality has been suspended.

Post of the thread!
We’ve been living in The Twilight Zone for 8 years.
Better than the comedy show ObOzO is running.
We have been in his nightmare for 8 years, cant wait till the door hits you in the a## and I hope to God Trump establishes a commission to hunt them down like dogs
Obama needs to go on the View again and state this.
FUBO , and I mean it
Says the man whose two major catastrophes in office were pushed through by lying to the American people.
This is the man who brought an empty suit to the White House, with ZERO accomplishment. He probably is too dumb to realize that Trump had built a multi billion dollar empire before his first Apprentice show .. AND more people had net positive jobs from the reality show than Obama ever created. So, STFU.
Bttt!
Barry’s getting nervous.
Obama is right. His administration is more like a “Gilbert and Sullivan” farce. Fast paced and confusing.
From the President who did an interview with the idiot who eats cereal in a hot tub.
That’s right; this been like one of these recent movies where are the best and brightest are minorities, women, and/or homosexuals - but unlike the movies, this has had a very real catastrophic outcome.
What a freakshow; this isn’t a reality show, but it isn’t Hollywood either, Otoken.
