Donald Trump said he’d like to focus on policy — as his allies are urging him to do — but can’t when Barack and Michelle Obama are delivering scathing critiques of him on prime-time television.
“Did you see Barack Hussein Obama last night?” Trump said Wednesday at a rally in Asheboro, North Carolina. “He was taking shots at your president, and so was Michelle. You know they always say, ‘sir, please stick to policy. Don’t get personal.’ And yet they’re getting personal all night long.”
