The President said:

You want to debate foundations and charities? One candidate’s family foundation has saved countless lives around the world. The other candidate’s foundation took money other people gave to his charity, and then bought a six-foot tall painting of himself. I mean. You know, he had the taste not to go for the ten-foot version, but.

You want to debate who’s more fit to be our president? One candidate whose traveled to more countries than any secretary of state ever has. Has more qualifications than anyone who’s pretty much ever run for this job, and the other who isn’t fit in any way, shape, or form to represent this country abroad and be its commander in chief.

So somehow as things go on because we’ve become so partisan, our standards for what’s normal have changed, and Donald Trump says stuff every day that used to be considered disqualifying for being president.

Obama dropped the hammer on Trump. Never in modern American politics has a current commander in chief come out and so directly stated that one of the two candidates that are running for the office that he currently holds is completely unfit for the job.

There are a handful of individuals in this country who have the inside knowledge of what it takes to be commander in chief. When the current president states that the Republican nominee is unfit for the job, voters should sit up and listen.

The media is treating Trump’s unfitness like the new normal, so it will be up to the American people to take President Obama’s warning seriously and reject Donald Trump.
