Donald Trump: I’m Not Sure Obama ‘Likes Anything’ Anymore

‘We have a president that really doesn’t seem to want to be there’

Donald Trump Doesn’t Think Obama ‘Likes Anything’ Anymore (Mediaite)

If anyone’s an expert on optics, it’s Donald Trump. Right?

That’s what Fox & Friends was evidently thinking Monday morning when they asked the real estate mogul to weigh in on President Barack Obama’s comments to Chuck Todd on Meet the PressSunday about his decision to play golf immediately following a press conference on the beheaded American journalist James Foley.

“There’s no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that I made, I should have anticipated the optics. That’s part of the job,” Obama told Todd. “I think everybody who knows me, including the press, understands that you take this stuff in. But part of this job is also the theater. It’s not something that always comes naturally to me. But it matters, and I’m mindful of that.”
