Washington: United States President Barack Obama warned the Republican nominee Donald Trump for treating the US presidency race as a mere ‘reality’ show and called on the voters to examine the business mogul’s records.
According to the media reports, President Obama asked the reporters and voters yesterday to deeply scrutinize at the record Trump, who became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee this week.
“He has a long record that needs to be examined. I think it’s important for us to take seriously the statements he’s made in the past. I just want to emphasize the degree of which we are in serious times, and this is a really serious job. This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States,” Obama said.
The President urged the media and voters to vet candidates policies.
“What I’m concerned about is the degree to which reporting and information starts emphasizing the spectacle of the circus because that’s not something we can afford. And the American people, they’ve got good judgment, they have good instincts, as long as they as have good information,” Obama said.
