'Trump lacks preparation, temperament to be President'

Washington, Sept 28: US President Barack Obama repeated on Tuesday that the Republican candidate for the White House, Dold Trump, lacks the temperament and preparation necessary to occupy the Oval Office, in his first reaction to the televised debate on Monday night between the real estate magte and his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. “Anybody who was watching the debate, I think got a sense that you got really sharply-contrasting visions about where we should take the country,” EFE news quoted Obama as saying in a radio interview on the Ryan Seacrest show. Obama said he was “admittedly biased” in favour of Clinton, whom he said is “well-prepared” and has the “right temperament for the job” of President, as well as being highly respected by everyone. “I would say that (Trump) doesn’t have the preparation, the temperament, or the core values of inclusion and making everybody have opportunities that would take our country forward,” Obama said about the businessman-turned-politician.
