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.

Kind of like an Elton John drama-queen meltdown. Next January can’t come soon enough.

The Kenyan should never have been given the nuclear codes.

His loyalty is NOT to this country.
