"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said when asked about the 2016 election at the conclusion of the U.S.-Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Rancho Mirage, California. "And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people. And I think they recognize that being president is a serious job."
"It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It's not promotion, it's not marketing. It's hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right."
People from the media and the establishment always say that the Trump campaign is a "reality show". They hope that by doing so, they can embarrass his supporters so much that they give up what they really want. They assume a little bit of rhetoric could make Trump supporters believe they are in a ludicrous dream of some kind, and it's not real. However, the reality slams them again and again - it's already become funny.
In fact, the biggest "reality show" of our country is exactly the elections as they used to be. Donors, special interests, and their lobbyists are the directors of the show; candidates and the establishment are the performers. What is the difference between the "election show" and the regular ones on TV? It's just that the election is GLORIFIED by its sophistication and the values it once held.
This year, however, the show has CHANGED a bit, as its audience rightfully demand.
How ironic is it that the directors and their biggest performers are now accusing this whole thing of being a "reality show"!
