President Barack Obama's top spokesman (Josh Earnest) said Tuesday that real-estate mogul Donald Trump had disqualified himself from the Oval Office with his "deeply offensive" proposal to suspend all Muslims from entering the US.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tore into Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, when he was asked about the proposal during his daily media briefing.
"The Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin-of-history-like quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair. The whole carnival-barker routine that we've seen for some time now," Earnest said.
Earnest blasted the entire Republican field for signing a pledge to support the party's presidential nominee. All of the GOP candidates â including Trump â made the pledge after the businessman threatened to run an independent campaign if he was not treated fairly.
"The question now is about the rest of the Republican Party and whether or not they're going to be dragged into the dustbin of history with him. And right now, the current trajectory is not very good," Earnest said. He continued:
Now, I know that each of the Republican candidates has already taken an oath pledging to support Donald Trump for president of the United States if he wins the nomination. But the fact is, the first thing a president does when he or she takes the oath of office is to swear an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. And the fact is, what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president.

When did Obama EVER do that? Obama has never preserved, protected or defended the constitution of these United States. He has shredded it apart.
And the fact is, what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president.
Ummm....no. The constitution is clear on that one. The president of the United States has every right to exclude dangerous, undesirable aliens from this country.
Trump is just advocating what Obummer did directing the IRS to go slow on the paperwork for the TEA Party.
????
[ The constitution ONLY applies to CITIZENS!
There are many in the legal and judicial community that would disagree with you. ]
And that is WHY we have problems with Illegal Aliens and Importing People who hate us.
Trump's right. 0blama's wrong....again ;)
Perhaps that'll leave a [skid] mark...
How is it Constitutional to go to their countries and kill them but Unconstitutional to allow them into our formerly peaceful Nation?
allow = disallow
Ummm....no. The constitution is clear on that one. The president of the United States has every right to exclude dangerous, undesirable aliens from this country.
SO the question is WHY does President Barky want dangerous, undesirable aliens (Muslims) allowed in the USA by the millions?
WHO is the disgrace?
They’re all spoilingv their orange jumpsuits. The ‘Rat frog march is on and will be EPIC!
And Moochell has a fake personna (”it’s a man, baby!”)
“Fake hair” - now there’s a relevant criticism from a mature group of statesmen.
Imagine, our very safety is in their hands.
“Oh no. He has a real one. But its on some other guy,”
Moochell?
LIKE HOW HYPOCRITICAL
Josh Earnest citing the POTUS oath of office as a reason Trump should be “disqualified”. ??
Trump’s hair looks better than Obama’s and is more natural looking than Michelle’s.
My democrat wife just heard about this today. And said Trump’s right!
Just another in the long list of failures to keep the country safe from foreign invaders.
