Donald Trump shot back at President Obama on Tuesday, after the commander in chief said the GOP nominee is "unfit" to be president.
"Well he’s a terrible president, Trump said in an interview with ABC7
Washington.
"He’ll probably go down as the worst president in the history of our country, he’s been a total disaster."
The GOP nominee repeated that line in an interview set to air Tuesday night on Fox News's "The O'Reilly Factor," adding: "I think he’s been a disaster. He’s been weak, he’s been ineffective."
Trump then went through a laundry list of issues he thought Obama has failed on, including U.S policy on Russia and Ukraine.
“He talks about me with Russia. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing frankly if we actually got along with Russia and worked out some kind of a deal where we go and knock the hell out of ISIS along with NATO and along with countries that are in the area. Wouldn’t that be wonderful as opposed to fighting?
“But Crimea was taken over … It was taken over during Obama’s regime, big tough president.”
Over the weekend, Trump told ABC's “This Week” that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “not going into Ukraine,” before having to pivot after the anchor noted that Russia had already taken over the former Ukrainian territory of Crimea.
He also ticked off the economic recovery and homeownership rates as places Obama has failed.
But, "I think that Hillary Clinton has the potential to be even worse," Trump told O'Reilly on Tuesday.
The president on Tuesday slammed Trump and called on Republican leaders to abandon their support for their party's nominee.
"There has to come a point at which you say, 'enough.'"
His criticism comes after Trump's comments about the family Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in the Iraq War.
Trump said Obama made the negative comments about him because the president is nervous Trump will win in November.
"I think it just means he’s concerned I’m going to win," Trump told ABC7.
"Don’t forget, last time he said I would never get the nomination, now he’s saying I wouldn’t get the election now all of the sudden he said the other day maybe I can win the election, no I guess he probably has to say that kind of thing."

Right there with ya Mr. Trump although I’d say there is no ‘probably’ about it.
TRUMP KNOWS TRUTH!
[he’s been a total disaster]
Yes, yes he has. And not by accident, either.
Tip one for me, if you please.
I’m on the wagon now.
Noting that I will gladly Vote Trump, please consider the following.
Regardless of Trump’s statment about Obama, low-information Obama never intended to be a good president imo. Obama just wanted to support the corrupt Washington cartel’s mission to pirate and exercise 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and also steal associated state revenues, to continue FDR’s work of destroying state sovereignty.
i’m confident that Constitution-savvy patriots get Trump up to speed with the idea that Constitution-ignoring Congress is the real problem. But it’s still up to us patriots to give Trump a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress.
Right on, Diana!
“Well he’s a terrible president, Trump said . . . “
YES! Way to go, Trump. The imposter in the white house has no business injecting himself into this election. Of course, other than golfing, he doesn’t have much else to do, does he? Or perhaps I should say: He is incapable of doing anything else very well.
I’m sure that’s his goal. I’ve never seen a man so wrong about everything that’s good, moral and decent. Never seen anything like it at all. All the while smiling and pretending to be “good” to the useful idiots who support him.
well,DUH!
AND O may also be the only foreign enemy agent to get elected into our WH, too
” . . . the commander in chief said the GOP nominee is “unfit” to be president.”
I failed to mention in my other rant that this is a perfect example of the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.
Couldn’t agree more.
ValJar and his other handlers make the decisions for him in my view, he just signs the papers and recites their decisions.
Trump says what WE all have been saying about EVERYTHING.
Anyone who claims that Trump doesn't understand "regular people", is NOT a "regular" person!
Bump!
The stupid reported doesn’t know geography. I doubt that he even knows ANYTHING at all about the Crimea..from THE CRIMEAN WAR, through WW I and beyond !
Definitely the worst since WWII, and possibly the worst ever.
No ‘probably’ about it.
There’s no one else who even comes close.
Obama, the community organizer, tries to make out that he was more qualified to be president than Trump, who built an empire over a period of decades.
