Obama is mocking
Republicans who repeatedly
denounce Donald Trump at the
bidding of the mainstream media,
challenging them to reject their
party’s nominee.
“The question I think that they have to
ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly
having to say in very strong terms that
what he has said is unacceptable, why
are you still endorsing him?” Obama
asked. “What does this say about your
party that this is your standard bearer?”
Obama ridiculed Trump at a White
House press conference for “daily and
weekly” episodes in the presidential
election where Republicans had to
distance themselves from their nominee,
warning that the denunciations were
beginning to “ring hollow.”
“There has to come a point in which you
say somebody who makes those kinds of
statements doesn’t have the judgment,
the temperament, the understanding to
occupy the most powerful position in the
world,” Obama said. “Because a lot of
people depend on the White House
getting stuff right.”
He insisted that he was prepared to lose
gracefully to Mitt Romney and John
McCain, because he believed that unlike
Trump, they could serve as president.
“Had they won, I would have been
disappointed, but I would have said to
all Americans, this is our president,” he
said.
Obama said that Trump was “unfit” for
office and “woefully unprepared” to
serve as president.

He also challenged more Republicans
who were repeatedly embarrassed by
Trump to speak out.
“There has to come a point at which you
say enough,” he said. “The alternative is
that the entire party, the Republican
Party effectively endorses and validates
the positions that are being articulated
by Mr. Trump.”
