Did President Obama vote for Donald Trump?

Answer 1

Although he donated to Hillary Clinton and suggested that Obama should have picked her as his running mate, in actual fact, Trump, a long-time Republican, endorsed McCain (this according to a Larry King Live transcript).

Answer 2

President Obama have always been very close to the Clintons. The are close socially as well as politically. The Clintons have been close to the Trumps socially, but the Obamas haven't been. I fact Trump has repeatedly pointed out that Obama was born overseas and not a natural born citizen. This has led to friction between Obama and Trump.

Answer 3

First, I have not had any conversations with President Obama, so I cannot say with certainty what he feels about Donald Trump personally. But from conversations I've had with journalist friends, and from statements the president has made in public, he believes Mr. Trump is running a campaign based on bigotry, fear, and resentment. He also sees Mr. Trump as a political opportunist, someone who knowingly spreads false information (like the birth certificate myth) just to get votes. I doubt he "hates" Mr. Trump, but he certainly has very little respect for how the Trump campaign has been conducted (for example demonizing minorities, or calling for bans on certain religious or ethnic groups).

Answer 4

I would like to think yes, if just because it would crush most of Fox News's hard-on's for rich aging white men.

Answer 5

He has never said publically that he does. Perhaps dislike is a better term.

Answer 6

No, he was the one who began the "birther" question whether the president was born in the United States.
