Obama: Trump Candidacy Has 'Rattled' World Leaders (BARFER)
NBC News ^ | 05/26/2016 | Cassandra Vinograd

Posted on 05/26/2016 4:36:38 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

President Barack Obama said Thursday that world leaders are "rattled" by Donald Trump — and "for good reason."

During a press conference in Japan, Obama said the American presidential election is being "very" closely watched oversees. He told reporters that "it's fair to say" world leaders are "surprised" Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee.

"They are not sure how seriously to take some of his pronouncements but they're rattled by him — and for good reason, because a lot of the proposals that he's made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude," Obama added.

He suggested Trump's controversial proposals were more about "getting tweets and headlines" than "actually thinking through" what's needed to keep America safe or the "world on an even keel."

Trump has made China a frequent target of his attacks — such as saying the country will "suck the blood" out of the U.S.

Obama should ask Japan why they put 40% tariffs on US made cars?

We don't put any tariffs on Japanese made cars. We are the dummies led by the community organizer Obama.

Obama said Iraq was a "soverign and stable country" by his own words when he took office. His "ignorance" of ISIS went on full display when he blew them off as the JV team, even though they were rolling into Iraq out in the open. Just ask the citizens of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. Because of Obama , thousands have been slaughtered, and they barely exist as countries. Not to mention, we now have a migrant crisis of biblical proportions because of his ignorance.

This mans arrogance and ignorance knows no bounds.

“President Barack Obama said Thursday that world leaders are “rattled” by Donald Trump — and “for good reason.””

Yeah for good reason, it means that America is going to stop getting the $hitty end of the stick and we are going to start taking care of “America First.”

America will cease to be the new guy in prison!!!

““President Barack Obama said Thursday that world leaders are “rattled” by Donald Trump — and “for good reason.”””

So as i understand it, more politicians who are destroying their own countries are worried about Trump?

If I were Trump, I would use this as a campaign ad.

Obama is not really qualified to speak for the world

The world has declared him a blithering idiot

Those same world “leaders” were fighting each other to fellate obola in 2008. It makes their judgement somewhat questionable.

Awwww. So does this mean that Trump won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize in the first year of his presidency?

And so it begins, Barack Obama positioning himself to lead the world opposition to an American resurgence.

He’s prepared the battlefield for his ascension. He has destroyed the Democrat party. In a few weeks, he will have destroyed Hillary. Won’t lift a finger for Bernie, or any one else. Obama doesn’t want ANY democrat to succeed him-if Democrats lose the White House, who’s the leader of the party? Barack, that’s who.

He’s staying in DC. Community organizer for the world is his goal. He sees it as a promotion. He will agitate, mobilize the masses, foment discord. Constantly. Deliberately.

I’m good with it, he’s delusional, and just like everyone else, he too is underestimating Donald Trump.

Or, he is setting up the opening stakes for serious negotiations where the US doesn’t start out with the intention of coming out on the losing end.

Be rattled, world leaders. That’s why we are electing him!

Boobamba said world leaders are “rattled” by a Donald Trump presidency.

Yeah, right....that's b/c they could put anything over on this half-caste moron.

And as EqAndyBuzz says....if I were Trump, I would use Obama's blatherings as a campaign ad.

Boobamba's idiocy could add another 3-4 points to Trump's stratospheric rise in the polls.

The press is moving on to use international polls to take down Trump ...

It's not just world leaders who are "rattled" by Donald Trump. A new poll of the public in six countries allied to the US found that 78% thought that Trump would make the world more dangerous.

The YouGov poll for the campaign group Avaaz found that 61% said his views made a Paris style attack more likely.

The survey views from the UK, France, Germany, Mexico, Canada and Japan is believed to be the first global poll on attitudes to Trump.

I’m assuming he said that as if it’s a bad thing. Most world “leaders” need to be rattled, shaken, stirred, poured into a toilet and flushed.

Obama could be talking about himself here. For eight years the world has had to endure HIS ignorance of world affairs and HIS cavalier attitude.

What an A-hole.

This mans arrogance and ignorance knows no bounds.

When I first heard ObOzO's statement, I thought he was talking about himself. I should have realized he had no clue that is what everyone is saying of him. Singlehandedly, he has made the world a more dangerous place.

Nice deconstruction. Reminder....everything this half-caste moron does is a get-rich-quick scheme......fund-raisers for his two foundations (two that we know of) and his billion dollar Chicago prez library....his ego massager.

===========================================

They're going after the Clintons and their cronies now....
but is this a side-show to get the Boob off the hook?

ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY---Obama puts on a convincing act.
He "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

====================================================

With all the top-level intel available to him, can Americans actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

<><> Obama never knew Hillary's brother got a gold-mining permit in Haiti?

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt.... w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

OF COURSE, the Clintons/ activities NEVER interfered w/ Obama/s own foreign policy initiatives (cue laugh machine).

Good. World leaders have been smirking in complacent contempt ever since our Appeaser in Chief took office. I want them nervous again.

Man, I can/t wait for those tweets from Trump WRT TPP.

Obama considers TPP central to his presidential legacy and to his foreign policy and economic legacies.

Now, TPP is best understood against the backdrop
of Obama's post-presidential get-rich-quick foundation plans.

NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and
TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.

All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012.
