Trump Hits Back at ‘Terrible’ Obama for Saying He Would Lose 2016 Race

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back at President Barack Obama for saying on CBS’ 60 Minutes that he was just a “publicity seeker” who would never be president.

“Well, I watched his performance last night and I thought it was terrible,” he said on Fox and Friends Monday. “I thought it was sad because everything’s negative, you know, there’s nothing positive.”

“It’s not, ‘How come we’re doing so well here, how’d you get these great trade deals?’ Instead we have a trade deal that’s a disaster and even Hillary Clinton finally got smart even though she supported it, she probably heard my stance.”

Trump noted that “in all fairness” Obama couldn’t really say he thought he was going to win. “He can’t say ‘What do you think of Donald Trump?’ ‘Well, I think he’s going to be the next president.’”

“But I thought it was a little bit sad because there’s so much negativity,” Trump concluded. “And he goes, ‘What else you got?’ like he’s doing great and he wasn’t doing great, he was doing poorly.”
