President Barack Obama is pushing back against the notion that Donald Trump is fighting for ordinary Americans. Instead, Obama calls Trump an elitist.
“Mr. Trump embodies global elites and has taken full advantage of it his entire life,” the president said in an interview with National Public Radio. “So, he’s hardly a spokesperson — a legitimate spokesperson — for a populist surge of working-class people on either side of the Atlantic.”
Obama cautioned Americans and Europeans not to read too much into the unexpected Brexit vote, calling it a “pause” in the ongoing effort to integrate Europe into a untied bureaucratic entity.
“There’s been a little bit of hysteria post-Brexit vote, as if somehow NATO’s gone, the trans-Atlantic alliance is dissolving, and every country is rushing off to its own corner,” he said. “That’s not what’s happening.”

He tried to soften the blow, blaming the European Union for progressing too fast without explaining the benefits to its coalition countries. .... He also attributed the success of the Brexit “Leave” campaign to xenophobia and nationalistic sentiments, adding that Trump was trying to inflame those tensions.

And yet this cretin is allowed free reign to continue trampling America into the ground.
I wonder if Dalmatian puppies have gone missing where Hillary has been traveling?
We'll wait for the black and white spotted pantsuit. Or maybe a black and white Star Wars Emperor cloak. "I'll make it legal".
So typical left playbook. Lie to try to portray your opponent as what you are...
Global Elites want open borders, high taxes, dissolution of nationalities and croney capitalism, etc etc etc
Sorry but Trump’s warts do not include being a global elitist.
Laughable. The same fool that scolded Britain for Brexit.
Obama, who’s never done a real day’s work in his life, who lives from golf course to golf course, wants to lecture us about working ppl vs. elites. Yeah, stfu Obozo!
Why is Obama campaigning when he’s not running for office???
Anything this Putz for President utters is sheer lies. Only demokkkrat partisans would trust what he has to say.
In the inverted world of Western Decadence, it probably appears to be so.
The only tiny little difference being that it’s Trump’s hard-earned money he spends on lifestyle, not the taxpayers’.
Oh, and that he is notoriously cost-effective — just a teensy little distinction.
Oh...then that’s why all those “global elites” are breaking down the door to endorse him!?!? /sarc
I wish obummer would accuse Trump of Not Building That:-)
But we can heartily mock them when Lizzy Warren starts doing that (accusing Trump “You Didn’t Build That”).
Sorry, 0blama. You’re lies aren’t working anymore.
