Obama dismisses Trump phenomenon as a flash in the pan: 'Talk to me if he wins' – but Biden says 'it's possible' Trump could become president

Obama said he is 'pretty confident' that Trump won't win by 'scapegoating,' and the American people will ultimately reject the Republican's message However, he said, 'Anything's possible. And I think we shouldn't be complacent. I think everybody's got to work hard' The president acknowledged that politics is as divided as it has ever been, though he declined to call it a failure: 'It's a regret' Biden talked about the 2016 race and his dis on Hillary Clinton over her 'relatively new' interest in income inequality He joked that he would still get in last minute if he won the lottery: 'Everybody says I can retire, well I'll run' President Barack Obama is 'pretty confident' that Donald Trump won't win his White House bid by 'scapegoating,' and the American people will ultimately reject the Republican's message.

'Talk to me if he wins. Then we'll have a conversation about how responsible I feel about it,' Obama told Matt Lauer after the Today host suggested that the president's leadership had created a hunger for Trump's brand of politics.

Vice President Joe Biden 'it's possible' that Trump could pull off a White House win. But he told Today's Savannah Guthrie in his own, 'This is just the very, very beginning' of the 2016 race. In the NBC interview that aired this morning Obama said the former reality TV show star is preying on peoples' fears.

'The message that Donald Trump's putting out has had adherence a lot of times during the course of our history,' he said.

He will bolt the good old U.S. of A. for some decadent muslim country like Dubai...or maybe even Kenya.

For the record, Kenya is 83% Christian, with around 11% muslim minority. Children still learn Christianity in public schools there, as children here were once free to do. There are several Kenyan Christian families in our area, and they are wonderful neighbors, living the faith the way I remember Christians did in this country before the Sexual Revolution.

Can a President pardon himself on his way out the door? I don’t believe so. Be careful Barry, be very careful.
