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.

Let us all hope that the curse of an Obama endorsement continues
Obama agrees global elites are the problem.
Seems like Obama can’t form a sentence without lying ...
Hahahaha...that’s pretty funny, coming from the guy famously photographed carrying a copy of “The Post American World”.
For those of us who read it, it is a window into the minds of people like Barack Obama.
For him to read it, it is like globalist porn.
Ha....yes, a turnaround on him.....especially when he’s probably the biggest global elitist in the world.
He goes to sleep at night and dreams of becoming Exalted Earth Emperor, Barack Amin DaDa.
He supplies untold thousands, from simple laborers to top executives with good employment opportunities.
Capitalists have given me excellent jobs over the years and helped me fund a good retirement plan ( unless the Marxists steal it, which is their plan)
If you don’t want to get off your @$$ and work....you hate trump.
Greta played obama telling everyone that benghazi was about the video... with a straight face he told that big lie... and the report from yesterday was before her... she just sat there and shook her head. EVERYTHING obama says is a lie... he makes it up and tells such whoppers, he is not a sane man. And he’s going to let loose of his power.... very reluctantly.
He is superb at LIES LIES LIES
never believe a word he says
he’s a mofo
this tells me they are worried
The projection from this bunch is tremendous...
Says the man that grew up in private schools. Spoiled brat.
the rumpswab here in this scenario is Barack Hossein Obama.
This difference is that Trump is against everything the elites are for. THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.
His lying, is just him carrying out his father’s work. Satan is proud of him.
Oh yeah, Obama is an expert on the common people, the champagne-and-caviar party guy who now defends the EU at every chance, who never ONCE in his 8 yrs. in office could ever be bothered to even visit the common people in his crime-ridden South Side hood where thousands have been shot and killed.
However, I do like the way he’s deliberately tweaking Trump - the blowback should be real good ... and deserved
Shouldn’t he be playing a round of golf somewhere?
Pray America wakes
Hillary embodies every super villain ever thought up.
Obama is lying again, and he works for the elites.
It’s how Mr. “Hope & Change” got the well above his pay-grade job.
