Obama suggests Trump insecurity prompts insults
President Barack Obama is suggesting that Donald Trump insults people because he’s “insecure.”
Without saying Trump’s name, he said there’s a reason why the Republican presidential candidate has denigrated veterans, people with disabilities, Mexicans and others during the 2016 campaign.
Obama said: “It tells you that he’s insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down.”
Obama was addressing supporters Sunday at a fund raiser in Chicago.
He said “the unbelievable rhetoric” from Trump has been “disturbing.”
“I don’t need to repeat it – there are children in the room,” he said to laughter.
