Trump: Obama talked about a ‘world that doesn’t exist’
Donald Trump on Thursday criticized President Obama’s endorsement speech of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, saying the president described a “world that doesn’t exist.”
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, tweeted that almost three-quarters of the population think “our country is going in the wrong direction.”

{mosads}During his speech, Obama criticized Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” by saying that “America is already great” and accusing Trump of having a “deeply pessimistic vision” of the country.
“I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump,” Obama said.
“Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order. We don’t look to be ruled,” he added.
