'This election shouldn't be a close battle but it'll be'- Barack Obama claims sexism is responsible for Trump's rapid poll rise
U.S President Barack
Obama has weighed in on the U.S presidential election claiming that the reason
why Trump is doing well in the polls is because of the sexist mentality among
most Americans, saying if it weren't for sexist beliefs, Trump will be no where
near the Democratic candidate..
"There's a reason why we haven't had a
woman President," Obama said at a swanky Manhattan fund-raiser dinner for
the Democratic nominee. "We as a society still grapple with what it means
to see powerful women and it still troubles us in a lot of ways,
unfairly."
This
should not be a close election but it will be, and the reason it will be is not
because of Hillary's flaws," Obama said.
Obama also blasted
Trump, calling his campaign "an infomercial."
"It's a reality show, It's an infomercial
" he said. 'This guy is not qualified to be president."
Barack also said it
would be a "personal insult" to his legacy if black voters don't turn
out on Election Day for Hillary Clinton.
