Obama predicts voters will say 'no' to Trump in November

September 04, 2016 22:12

US President Barack Obama said that American voters will say 'no' to Donald Trump in the November election.

Trump has embraced a hard-line policy against illegal immigration but has said he favours the legal entry of immigrants with job skills needed in US industry.

Still, Obama blasted the Republican presidential nominee for promoting 'intolerance' and government policies 'that are contrary to our values, banning certain classes of people because of who they are or what they look like, what faith they practice.'

"We have to be pretty hard about saying no to that," the US president said. 'And I think that America will do that this time as well."

Trump last year advocated a total ban on Muslims entering the United States, in reaction to a series of deadly Islamist terror attacks around the world.

Since then he has amended that proposal to focus on nation-specific immigration bans on terror-rife countries where it's impossible to vet incoming people.
