President’s job too ‘serious’ for Donald Trump

Donald Trump will not become US president because the voters realise it is a serious job, Barack Obama said.

Mr Obama contrasted the reality of being president with the rhetoric on the campaign trail, saying doing the job is not like hosting a reality show or a talk show.

The president was speaking after hosting a summit with south-east Asian leaders, and warned that foreign observers are “troubled” by the Republican primaries and debates.
