Obama: The World ‘Rattled’ by Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 26 May 2016 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 05/26/2016 7:49:30 AM PDT by mandaladon

President Barack Obama admitted that world leaders were “surprised” and “rattled” by the political rise of Donald Trump.

“I think it’s fair to say that they are surprised by the Republican nominee. They are not sure how seriously to take some of his pronouncements, but they’re rattled by him, and for good reason,” he said. “Because a lot of the proposals that he’s made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of actually thinking through what it is that is required to keep America safe and secure and prosperous and what is required to keep the world on an even keel.”

Obama made his remarks during a press conference held in Japan at the G7 summit. He said that it was clear that world leaders were paying close attention to the election, because of the country’s position in the world.

“The United States, as I said before, is at the heart of the international order,” he said.

Even countries that didn’t like the U.S., he explained, knew that the world was in trouble if Americans were not providing stability in the world.

Of course they are worried. our last several presidents have held a yard sale of USA through “free trade agreements” and special deals on coal, oil, and now, uranium. They fear that Trump will cut off the largesse!

Let's see how Obama has done since his speech just before the election in 2008 (no wonder America wants real hope and change):

generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.

Go Trump Go. This whole damn world needs to be rattled to hell and back, if possible. Most of these Countries have be relied on us to keep them safe. About time they did a little for themselves.

Trump for President.

Precisely. Obama belongs on the gallows for what he and his band of liars and thieves have done to this country. . .

Don’t forget Clinton declassifying DOE nuke secrets, Gore giving a supercomputer to China, blocking coal mining for Lippo Group, and have you noticed we don’t have mines any more but China does, for things like rare earths and tungsten and gold? “Environmental laws” gave our resorces to foreigners.

They should be rattled. A new sheriff is coming to town who can’t be controlled or bought off. He is going to kick out the lazy grifters who are destroying the place and to make the town great again.

Obama, and his ilk, are the ones that are going to be “rattled”.

That’s what this whole apology tour was about, Obama crying “wolf” (or “Trump”) to the world. He threatening their free money supply.
