'I care about poor people that are really working hard' - Obama's extraordinary 'rant' against Trump after the Republican trashes his cherished NAFTA


The Daily Mail reports:
President Barack Obama let loose on Donald Trump today for claiming the mantle of economic populism even though he has 'never shown any regard for workers' or fought for social justice.

In fact he 'worked against economic opportunity for workers and ordinary people,' Obama said, incredulously.

Saying 'something controversial in order to win votes, that's not the measure of populism. That's nativism or xenophobia or worse, or it's just cynicism,' Obama protested.

'I care about poor people that are really working hard and don't have the chance to advance,' he declared. 'And I care about workers being able to have a collective voice in the workplace and get their fair share of the pie.'

Obama said when he bailed out the auto industry, it wasn't 'popular' so maybe it wasn't populist.

'Maybe that was an elitist move on my part because it didn't poll well,' he said as he delivered a self-admitted 'rant' at the conclusion of a Wednesday news conference.

The U.S. leader was in Ottawa, Canada, for talks with his Mexican and Canadian counterparts, Enrique Peña Nieto and Justin Trudeau when he delivered his lecture on the definition of populism after reporters repeatedly asked them about Trump.



Strongman Obama really cares just like Fidel Castro and the late Hugo Chavez, like a true Social Justice Warrior. That's what all socialists say as they steal property.
