Donald Trump won't be next US president: Obama
US President Barack Obama says it is not surprising that at this early stage of presidential election process Donald Trump is receiving a lot of attention, but he cannot win the White House in 2016.
Trump continues to lead the Republican field nationally in the race to become a nominee for president. According to the new poll by the CBS News, the real-estate mogul leads the Republican pack with 27 percent support, showing no changes since one month ago, when the previous edition of the survey was carried out.
"He knows how to get attention. He is, you know, the classic reality TV character, and at this early stage, it's not surprising that he's gotten a lot of attention," Obama said of Trump in an interview broadcasted on CBS News on Sunday.
"I don't think he'll end up being president of the United States," Obama said.
Trump’s presidential campaign has been marked by controversial statements, including disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.
Back in August, the TV personality and business magnate said he was willing to spend $1 billion on his campaign if that is what it takes to win the White House.
As many as 15 Republicans are seeking their party’s nomination for president but only Trump, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are considered serious contenders.
Hillary Clinton is competing against only three Democrats and independent senator Bernie Sanders, for the Democratic Party's nomination. Only Sanders is considered at all competitive in the early primaries.
But, according to reports, Vice President Joe Biden is getting serious to challenge Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president.
