Obama: Donald Trump won't be president and shouldn't be given the nuclear codes
The Los Angeles Times ^ | February 16, 2016

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....

Wow. He doesn’t say “Trump shouldn’t be President”, he says directly “Trump will not be President”. That is very disturbing.

I’m already on edge that the most conservative justice who stood between him and his Executive Amnesty, climate nonsense and 2nd amendment infringement has died under clouded circumstances, but butting in and declaring blatantly that “Trump will not be President” is enough o make me think we should be on high alert for what this Obama person has in mind and possibly in store for interfering with the general election.

He should not be saying anything at all. Hopefully, Donald will have a response to this inappropriate statement soon.

This article is from a few days ago and there already has been some discussion of these comments. I don’t recall any sitting president dissing the frontrunner of the opposing party this way, at least not so early in the process. They must be frightened but not for the reasons Obozo explained.

As for who can you trust to handle these important matters, I also read today that the US government is now funding multiple sides in Syria’s civil war. In other words, we are providing money and weapons to one group so they can use them against the other group who we are also giving money and weapons to. Of course, all of this comes from US taxpayers, out of their paychecks - or maybe it is part of the 9 trillion in additional debt Obama has created for future Americans to pay for.

So Mr Obama who is it that is irresponsible?

Good to know that Donald doesn’t drink or do drugs. I assume he doesn’t smoke either. Setting a good example for his young son.

Well, this will hurt Trump almost as badly as the Pope’s statement did.

This from the president who thinks there should be no nuclear codes at all because he thinks our nuclear arsenal should be ZERO.

He’s already publicly taken a nuclear response to any attacks we may ever receive (on his watch) off the table.

I’ll tell you who has no business with nuclear weapon launch codes: the guy who publicly stated he was good at killing people.

Trump probably won’t give a brand new nuke w/keys to Iran like Zippy the Wonder Kenyan did.

Do you think Obama has the power to say “Launch them Missles and I will arm them!”

Give me a break.
