WorldVIENTIANE, AFP -Outgoing President Barack Obama condemned Donald Trump as unsuitable to be commander-in-chief Thursday, after the Republican nominee blasted US military brass and praised Vladimir Putin. “I don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed,” Obama said in unusually caustic language while overseas. Putin is “very much of a leader,” Trump said in a televised interview. But certainly in that system he's been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader.” Trump also drew fire for criticising the military. Obama is expected hit the campaign trail with Clinton when he returns to the United States, with voter turnout likely to be a key theme.
