President Barack Obama says he still believes that Donald Trump will not become president of the United States and suggested that Trump will lose popularity as the election grows more serious.
"I continue to believe that Mr. Trump will not be President," Obama said. "And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people."
The president made his remarks during a press conference in Rancho Mirage, California, during a US-ASEAN summit with Southeast Asian leaders.
During his press conference, Obama said he believes that foreign leaders were "troubled" by the notion that Trump could become president. "I think foreign observers are troubled by some of the rhetoric that's been taking place in these Republican primaries and Republican debates," he said.
He included the entire Republican party in his criticism of Trump. "I find it interesting that everybody's focused on Trump, primarily just because he says in more interesting ways what the other candidates are saying as well," he said.
Obama said that Trump managed to "up the ante" in anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment, which Obama said was repeated by other candidates.
Obama singled out Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for "running away" from immigration reform "as fast as he can" after working on a bill with Senate Democrats that he (Obama) also supported.

There’s... Michelle? Why aren’t these #!@$ things working?!
Well of course he does. He already has the results.
KITTY—— Here Kitty. Got a real one. Kitty Kitty.
Nice try BO ...I don’t think Trump will be going on any hunting trips in Texas ..
Well if code pink agreeing with Trump is so significant that cruz supporters spend a day posting about it. I wonder what these cruz supporters think about obumber taking-up their cause?
And I continue to believe you're a liver-lipped, jugheaded Nigerian.
Obama must be losing sleep....
He has lost weight, must be smoking to death.
His fear?
Trump Justice dept will investigate that fake Hawaiian birth certificate.
Obama is a contrarian indicator. He never get things right, so always bet on the opposite of what he say will happen
Just more proof to me that the Democrats really, really want Trump to be the Republican candidate, as they see him as the easiest to beat (as current polls indicate).
Why do we care what the ‘mutt’ says? He has run this Great Country into the ground, has gone around the House and Senate with his EO’s....
He needs to be declared ‘illegal’ and forcefully removed from office and all his years erased as though he wasn’t ever there!!!
Obama likes his cushy job. Methinks he will not want to leave.
I sort of understood why Clinton was elected the first time. He claimed to be a conservative (I actually heard him say that) and most people didn’t know any better.
I knew we were in trouble when he was re-elected. Hard to believe the country had sunk so low.
Then when we elected a Communist, Muslim, racist, scumbag then re-elected him, it was painful. The country had sunk so low that it will probably never recover.
