Donald Trump "will not be president" despite his commanding lead in the Republican field, President Obama flatly declared Tuesday, bluntly questioning Trump's temperament while asserting that a restive electorate would ultimately make a "sensible choice."
It was Obama's most scathing assessment of the Republican nomination battle to date as he argued that Trump's views were the norm, not the exception, in the Republican Party, and that the front-runner had no business being given access to nuclear weapons or deciding how to prevent a banking crisis.
"Whoever is standing where I'm standing right now has the nuclear codes with them, and can order 21-year-olds into a firefight," he said, "and have to make sure that the banking system doesn't collapse and is often responsible for not just the United States of America but 20 other countries that are having big problems or are falling apart and are going to be looking for us to do something....

The question is , what does BO think of Cruz ? The answer will be quite telling ...
Obama is the best gun salesman ever - he is also the best Trump salesman ever!
Trump doesn’t use cocaine, drink or use other intoxicating substances. Trump also has a small son who could drafted in a few years, unlike the Obamination of Desolation.
I’d trust him over the pRESIDENT
Neither Obama or Trump should be given the nuclear codes. The codes belong to Ted Cruz!
“Obamaâs too dumb to realize that he just increased Trumpâs support.”
I think you’re right.
ROFL. Yeah, right, Obama. Look who’s talking.
EVEN OBOLA IS ENDORSING TRUMP!
THIS IS GREAT!
Tough decision for Obama. Don’t give nuclear launch codes to Trump or give funding and resources and time for Iran to build even more nukes. I guess his actions manifest his thinking.
I’m quite sure Obama has the IRS, FBI and NSA working hard on strategies to take Trump down should he win the nomination. They’ll make stuff up if they have to.
And as much as I’d rather have Cruz, you, Obama have no say in the matter. You are not King, you do not choose the president!
Barack Obama is probably the only one in his administration who doesn’t know that if he activates the nuclear codes, nothing is going to happen because the people who run this country aren’t so dumb that they’d give him that kind of power.
I still daily worry that he has access to the nuclear codes and is going to pull something before he leaves.
There is no comparison with Trump. Trump is an American, a Patriot, a level headed businessman who has been making important real world decisions his whole life. Absolutely no comparison.
Obama was all about the constitution when it comes to replacing scalia, but when it comes to the next president....
NOPE...
Iâd trust Trump and Trumpâs temperament any day over Obamaâs.
Agree 100%. Obama is the most vindictive freak show we’ve ever had in the White House.
There is no way Trump could have accomplished what he has without a reasonable temperament.
Obama should be fed a rasher of bacon.
FO Obola.
I only hope that someone has wisely preemptively scrambled his nuke codes cause he is the real worry! Cool change time.
FUBO!
