Deploying a sharp line against Trump's claims to be for the working class, Obama wondered why anyone would believe the nominee's claims.
"If a guy's spent 70 years on this earth showing no regard for working people, there's no record that he's supported (the) minimum wage or supported collective bargaining, invested in poor communities, and then suddenly he's going to be the champion of working people? Come on," Obama said.
Well put.

My issues is with what I wrote. Hillary's private position to bankers and accepting funding from completely immoral sources like Saudi Arabia while pretending to champion women and the LGBT community. The legality of taking private money isn't my issue but the morality of the source and her promises to the sources.
Morality is personal. Either we have private money driving our elections or we don't. We do. This is the Is of things, we each have our Ought.
Honestly I don't see a big difference between a plutocrat from Dubai, Dallas, or Berlin. They have the same interests, belong to the same class. Completely alien to the average person on the street, any street. It is going to be yes or no, not just private money from people you like.
