Obama goes on tirade against Trump over 'dangerous' Muslim ban, 'radical Islam.

President Barack Obama lit into Donald Trump on Tuesday, turning the tables to make the impassioned case that Trump is the one who's un-American.

Obama's extraordinary denunciation of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was about far more than a personal intervention on behalf of Hillary Clinton in the ugly general election campaign.

The commander in chief's fury, which seethed out of him in a stunning soliloquy on live television, amounted to a moment of historic significance: a president castigating one of the two people who could succeed him as beyond the constitutional and political norms of the nation itself.

Obama's remarks, motivated by his disgust over Trump's response to the worst terror attack since 9/11, were also deeply ironic, given that Trump has hounded him for years with insinuations that he's not a real American.
The real estate mogul had returned to that theme on Monday, hinting that in some way the President was complicit or approving of Islamic terror attacks, saying on Fox News, "There is something going on."

Trump's attacks have been based on conspiracy theories that Obama was born outside the country or a closeted Muslim. Obama's charge, in contrast, was based on his perception that the billionaire Republican's views are so extreme that he threatens the fabric of America itself.
