STEPHANOPOULOS (on camera): So you’re not worried about Obama…

TRUMP: I won with…

STEPHANOPOULOS: — out there campaigning against you?

TRUMP: Look, you know what?

Once we start, I think it’s going to be good.

You know, Hillary Clinton, the only thing she’s got going, she plays the woman card 100 percent. I saw her in a speech, well Donald Trump spoke a little bit harshly to Megyn Kelly. Well, Megyn Kelly was really terrific. She called me and came up to my office. She wanted to make peace. And we did. We did. I mean, it was very nice.

Some of the stuff is said as, you know, an entertainer, because I have The Apprentice, or some of it was said in fun with certain shows like Howard Stern, who is a friend of mine…

See how Trump avoided the subject of President Obama? Donald Trump is more than worried about Obama. He terrified of the President. Trump specializes in throwing lies and insults out about Obama on the campaign trail, but Donald Trump has never faced the power of the President Of The United States campaigning against him.

Obama signaled at his press conference on Friday that he will be coming for Trump. Former President Bill Clinton is coming for Trump. Bernie Sanders is coming for Trump. Elizabeth Warren is coming for Trump. Most importantly, Hillary Clinton is coming for Trump. Democrats have a popular political all-star team that they will be sending out on the campaign trail against Donald Trump.

While the top Republicans in the party are refusing to support, or tepidly supporting Trump. On paper what is going to happen on the campaign trail is a complete mismatch. Obama’s approval ratings are soaring, and his about to use his popularity to make sure that Donald Trump doesn’t win the White House.

Trump’s avoidance of the subject wasn’t worry. It was terror.
