PAUL PRESTON 'SLAMS' OBAMA over comments he made in front of a foreign leader. “I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president,” Obama said, adding, “He keeps on proving it.”

The president questioned whether Trump has “basic knowledge” on key issues. He went on to say that with past Republican nominees – including his former rivals John McCain and Mitt Romney – he never had doubts about their ability to do the job of president even though they disagreed on policy.

“Had they won I would have been disappointed, but I would have said to all Americans, this is our president,” Obama said, noting he was confident they would abide by certain rules and observe “basic decency.”

Obama added: “But that’s not the situation here … There has to come a point at which you say, ‘Enough.'”

DONALD TRUMP later responded: “I think he’s been a disaster. He’s been weak, he’s been ineffective,” Trump said “I believe I know far more about foreign policy than he knows. Look at Ukraine. He talks about Ukraine [and] how tough he is with Russia, in the meantime they took over Crimea.”
