Trump has provoked number of protests with his controversial speeches and proposals ranging from banning Muslims from entering the US to building a wall to keep out Mexican migrants to slashing US funding for NATO.
Obama took a dig at the Republican leadership that has resulted in the rise of Trump. “There is a debate that’s taking place inside the Republican Party about who they are and what they represent. Their standard bearer at the moment is Trump,” he said, adding that voters will have to make a decision as to whether this is the guy who speaks for them.
