Donald Trump doesn’t seem the forgiving type, so it’s no surprise he hasn’t let Barack Obama’s comments yesterday stand. Obama said Trump was ‘unfit’ to be President – so what did the Republican candidate have to say in response? He answered in the only way he knows how, by flinging mud back at the person who called him out. Here’s what he said:
‘Well he’s a terrible President, he’ll probably go down as the worst President in the history of our country. He’s been a total disaster, you look at what’s happened to the Middle East, what’s happened to Syria and his ‘line in the sand’.’
It’s unlikely Obama will go down as America’s worst President. But if we measure the achievements of Obama’s actual Presidency against the hopes and aspirations that greeted his inauguration, it’s difficult not to see the yawning gulf between expectation and reality.
