Meanwhile, Trump also criticized Republicans for not airing a video featuring him firing an actor playing President Barack Obama during the GOP’s national convention last month and argued the opposition party isn’t “being tough enough.”
“A lot of people wanted it [to air],” Trump said on NBC’s “Today.” “But the problem they have is, you know, they are not being tough enough. They’re not getting, I can’t say down and dirty, but that’s exactly what President Obama is doing with them. And they’ve got to fight fire with fire. The Republicans have to get tougher, or they’re going to lose this campaign.”
“Today” broadcast excerpts of the video, in which Trump gives an Obama impersonator a performance review before deploying his “You’re fired” catchphrase. The first night of the convention — when the video was scheduled to air — was canceled due to Hurricane Isaac, and the video didn’t air later in the week.
Trump said the video was the RNC’s idea and was made by “top Hollywood people.”
looks like obama dodged a bullet there.
