Obama goes on "rant" about Donald Trump's populism
CBS News ^ | June 29, 2016 | Rebecca Shabad

President Obama went off on his own rant Wednesday at a trilateral press conference in which he disputed the idea that Donald Trump is a populist and that the presumptive GOP nominee instead promotes "nativism" or "xenophobia."

After reporters asked a series of questions of Mr. Obama, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mr. Obama decided he had something else to say in Ottawa -- he addressed the common theme of populism raised during the event.

"I'm not prepared to concede the notion that some of the rhetoric that's been popping up is populist," Mr. Obama said, referring to Trump.

That’s what I’ve been thinking too. They gin up the polls showing Hillary winning everywhere, then they pull the rug out from under her and switch for Biden or another. Then they can say we were following the law and indicted her even though she was going to win. Then it won’t look to the libs like the white house engineered her fall. When all along Barky knew she didn’t have any chance in the general.

That’ll be his last press conference. The question will be “Do you have any words for President-Elect Trump?”

For the Democrats it’s all about who holds power holds all the cards. Do you think for a second the factions of the party that support the president are just gonna step aside for the Clintons? Not likely.

Good—I hope the King of Change and Hope is as successful stopping Trump as he was when he went into gear about the importance of UK staying in the EU! He’s got the “magic touch” that way....

Trump has now made, and must continue to make, Anti-Globalism the Central feature of the Election.

< The primary question is: What investment does Barack Obama have in this election? What backroom “deals” hinge on this election?

Otherwise, he shouldn’t give a rip.

It’s as if Obama himself is running against Donald Trump. That’s extremely strange. There’s more to this than meets the eye, folks. Just sayin’.....

I think he's getting paid a commission for every objective he accomplished on Soro's Complete Destruction of Anerica list, probably pulled from the Communist Manifesto. Time is running so he's got to keep killing his competition ...literally to get paid

He could barely spew forth his poorly formed and disjointed delusions. And to think people still believe he’s Columbia & Harvard Law...

It isn’t difficult to know what Russian & Chinese Intelligence Analysts’ reports will say.

On “nativism,” “xenophobia,” “and worse”...the Hitler comparisons continue. And speaking of that...

Against the continuing backdrop of equating Trump with Hitler and Naziism, including open calls for Trump’s assassination (Beck, Colbert, et al), it is worthwhile to note the assassination attempt on Hitler (Operation Valkyrie) occurred the same day as the 2016 RNC.

That’s a bad omen.

You’re right. They are heavy into dates/symbolism. Good thinking connecting that.

May the halls of the White House and Congress be filled with whispers of the Founders about the Americanism of Trump. May the blood of our forebears stain the bottoms of all those who work there. And may tongues raised against Americanism from those halls now be confused and confounded.

I call upon the ghosts all those patriots who have gone before us to bring the rain on the traitors there now.
