WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) – President Barack Obama on Tuesday said he believes that billionaire GOP candidate Donald Trump will not be president. “The reason is, I have a lot of faith in the American people and I think they recognize that being president is a serious job, it is not hosting a talk show,” Obama said during a press conference following a meeting with leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The president said his disquiet with Republican candidates was not restricted to Trump. Obama said Republican candidates have expressed anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments and that foreign observers are troubled that none of the candidates have expressed a willingness to combat the threat of climate change. “The other countries on the world kind of count on the United States being on the side of science, and reason and common sense,” Obama said.
