Trump Heard About Obama’s Attack On GOP Field And Responded With 5 Brutal Words
"I want to answer the tough questions."
In a Tuesday interview, Donald Trump dismissed President Obama’s mocking of the GOP field at a high-dollar Democrat fundraiser in Manhattan Monday night saying that he can’t “handle the country.”
As reported by Western Journalism, the president said to the Leftward crowd, “Have you noticed that everyone of these candidates say, ‘Obama’s weak. Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out. Just looking at him.'”
“Then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators at the debate. Let me tell you, if you can’t handle those guys, then I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you,” Obama said.
Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos asked Trump on Tuesday what he thought of the president’s remarks. “He can’t handle the country,” Trump responded, “I mean, he’s doing a terrible job running the country. He may say the Republicans can’t get along during a debate. It’s not us, we were being asked rude questions, many of them directed at me to be honest with you.” During last Wednesday’s debate the first question asked to Trump by CNBC moderator John Harwood was whether his candidacy, “is a comic book version of a political campaign.”
“No, not a comic book, and it’s not a very nicely asked question the way you say that,” Trump responded.
Sen. Ted Cruz perhaps best encapsulated the frustration the GOP candidates were feeling in what many called the line of the evening. “This is not a cage match,” Cruz said and then began to go down the line of his fellow candidates on the stage recounting the questions that they had received. “Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain?…Ben Carson, can you do math?…John Kasich, would you insult two people over here?…Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign?…Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?”
“How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?” Cruz asked, eliciting loud audience applause.
Trump told Stephanopoulos that he does not want to get to overly wrapped up in the controversy. “I just want to have a debate. I want to answer tough questions,” he said.
The GMA host also asked candidate what he thought of Ben Carson taking the lead in two recent nationwide polls, including the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing Carson at 29 percent support to Trump’s 23. The businessman countered that he is leading in other nationwide polls, and a newly released Iowa poll has him back on top in the Hawkeye State.
