Barack Obama says that young Americans “completely reject” Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump’s tough line on immigration and that most Americans share their stance.
“There’s a long tradition in the United States of inclusion, immigration, diversity,” the president says in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN but recorded before he left for the Group of 20 summit meeting in China.
“I don’t think that’s going to change because Mr Trump’s got a little more attention than usual,” adds Obama. He reiterates that he felt certain the 70-year-old real estate mogul would not succeed him as president next January.

“If you look at the current polls,” Obama says, “he’s been able to appeal to a certain group of folks who feel left out or worried about the social change, who have legitimate concerns around the economy and (are) feeling left behind. But that’s not the majority of America.”
“And if you talk to younger people, the next generation of Americans, they completely reject the path” taken by Trump.
