Watch: Obama Finally Had To Respond To Trump. Here’s The 9 Words He Said…
If Donald Trump has said it once, he has talked about making America a winner 10,000 times. Just as familiar is his refrain that he will “make America great again.”
As those words resonate with Republican voters, they have also now found their way into the White House–as President Obama showed this week when he parroted Trump in a defense of his accomplishments.
“America’s winning right now. America is great right now,” President Obama told the Business Roundtable on Wednesday, responding to Trump’s catchphrases without a direct mention of the Republican front-runner.
Obama also took a page out of Trump’s book in terms of hard rhetoric against China and the issues he will raise when he welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House next week.
Obama then said the nations can have a dialogue “as long as we don’t resort to the kind of loose talk and name-calling I notice some of our presidential candidates engage in. It tends not to be constructive.”
Obama also replied obliquely to Trump’s often-heard call to make America a leader in competing against the rest of the world.
“This whole notion that somehow we’re getting out-competed, out-dealt, we’re losing…Nobody outside the United States understands what we’re talking about,” Obama said.
By Wednesday night, Trump had slightly refined his slogan.
“If I become president, we will do something really special. We will make this country greater than ever before,” Trump said.
Trump also offered a stark disagreement with Obama about the world’s perception of America.
“The world will respect us. They will respect us like never before. And it will be actually a friendlier world,” Trump said at the debate.
